Avalanche to host outdoor NHL game next season
DENVER (AP) - The Colorado Avalanche will host their first NHL outdoor game at Coors Field next season.
The game will be played Feb. 27, 2016, against the Detroit Red Wings and held at the stadium of the Colorado Rockies.
Avalanche president Josh Kroenke said the team was "excited to be hosting this extraordinary event." The game is part of the 2015-16 NHL stadium series.
Rockies owner Dick Monfort said of transforming the baseball diamond into a hockey rink: "We can't think of a better place to host a Coors Light NHL Stadium Series game than in the Mile High City in front of 50,000 fans at Coors Field."
