The Other Avalanche
While I am in a “did you know” mood. Did you know that their was another Avalanche team that used to play in Denver? The Denver Avalanche was a Major Indoor Soccer League (1978-1992) team that played in Denver, Colorado from 1980 to 1982. Their home arena was McNichols Sports Arena. The team never caught on if I remember right, which led to their quick demise. I think I remember going to one or two games while they were in Denver. If I remember right the tickets were very cheap.
SKY SOX HAVE MAJOR PRESENCE ON ROCKIES PLAYOFF ROSTER
I found this article on the Sky Sox Website and thought I’d share. Tried e-mailing the story directly to this blog but for some reason that’s not working (it might show up some time). You can view the original 3 October story here. It does make you wonder why the Sky Sox have not made it to the Championship game in recent history J And dad please notice the Todd Helton was a Sky Sox in the 1996-1997 and 2005 – 2006 seasons, I told you he was here but you never believe me… And I guess we now know why the Sky Sox beat the Rockies earlier this year… 13 of the current roster were on the Sky Sox roster this year… amazing!

The Other Colorado Rockies
Did you know there was another team named the Colorado Rockies? Maybe too many folks have moved here from other states but when I tell most of them I used to go to Rockies game in the 80’s they rarely believe me. After all the current Rockies weren’t even a team , how could they have played in the 80’s? Well folks they were a hockey team in the NHL and they really played in Denver. Playing in the now demolished McNichols Sports Arena they played from 1976-1982 and I remember going to many games with my Dad and my Uncle Val. More info at wikipedia can be read this here. By the way this team is still alive and known as the New Jersey Devils!
The Denver Bears
If you were a young guy growing up in Denver “back in the day” you probably remember going to Denver Bears baseball games at Bears Stadium (later named Mile High Stadium in 1968, but I still remember it being called Bears Stadium while I was growing up). This was the only game in town and I remember the big July 4th games. I was sitting at the NLCS Game 3 and a few folks and I began talking about the Bears with a few other folks. Though many remembered the Bears (and later the Denver Zephyrs) no one really knew what happened to them. Well the team is still alive, if not in Denver. Now known as the New Orleans Zephyrs you can find a bunch of information on the at Wikipedia which I have linked here.
