The Colorado Avalanche are inching closer to the 2024-25 NHL regular season. But first, every team has to go through some training camp, which includes the full team, as well as a rookie camp, followed by some preseason matchups. We already discussed the preseason matchups the Avalanche have.
Now it’s time to focus on the stuff that is closer.
Colorado Avalanche training camp begins on Thursday, September 12, and ends on Sunday, September 22. Below is a breakdown of each day’s specifics. The team’s rookies will play three games between the 13th and 16th. The rosters are yet to be announced, but that should not be long. Last year, the rookie roster was announced on September 11th.
