The road to 100 Avs games (1.)
Eurolanche, the largest Colorado Avalanche Fan Club in the world, reached a historic milestone on January 10, 2026, when its members watched the Avalanche's 100th game as part of Eurolanche on Tour, formerly known as Eurolanche Invasion.
To mark the occasion, an extensive article was published with detailed statistics providing an overview of all 100 games that Fan Club members have seen in North America.
Let's now take a look at Eurolanche's journey to this milestone through a photo series and commemorative comments focusing on memorable moments related to attending Avalanche games overseas.
EUROLANCHE INVASION I (2008/09)
The beginnings are always the hardest. After a grueling journey to the US, the first three members of Eurolanche arrived at their first Colorado Avalanche game on December 27, 2008. The first photos were taken in front of the stadium and inside. The dream had come true!
The first photo before the first game. The quality of photos was still poor at that time...
They did it! Who would have thought that more than a hundred games would be added to this calculation?
The authentic photo captures the genuine joy of three Eurolanche members after Peter Budaj saved a shootour and the Avalanche defeated the Red Wings 4-3.
Taking photos in front of the arena became a hallmark and tradition for all subsequent expeditions.
The first meetings with the players backstage after the games were a tremendous experience.
First trip, first everything, even first visit to the locker room!
