Colorado Avalanche announce 2023 training camp schedule

The Colorado Avalanche have just released their training camp schedule as they prepare to try and improve on somewhat of a down year in 2022-23. This is a time in which their old and new players get back into their hockey mindset as well as hockey shape prior to having to endure hits and fatigue during live action in the preseason and regular season.

It is also a time that their new players get to hit the ice in an extensive amount of time to try and get on the same page with the players who have been around for years and years. You’ll get to see guys like Ryan Johansen, Miles Wood, Ross Colton, and Jonathan Drouin in their new Colorado Avalanche uniforms for the first time.

The first five days of training camp will focus on the team’s rookies, taking place mostly in Las Vegas, Nevada. From there, it will focus be their regular training camp.
