The Colorado Avalanche were in full youth movement for the 2017-18 season. They got some amazing rookie goals out of their commitment.

The Colorado Avalanche showed full commitment to their youth movement last year. At any given time last season, the Avs were dressing four or five rookies. They were consistently in the top three for youngest NHL team.

When you’re dressing that many rookies, you’re bound to get some scoring out of them. Indeed, the team got 49 goals out of their rookies last year.

Rookies are still learning their way in the NHL. That certainly was true with the Avs youngsters last season. They scored all kinds of goals, from the dirty to the beautiful to the downright weird.

Following are the five most amazing rookie goals of the 2017-18 season. Let’s start with a novelty goal perhaps never to be seen again.
