Another day, another week of nothing of significance happening around the NHL and for the Colorado Avalanche. But it’s the middle of summer so let’s see what we can find.

Don’t miss the Mile High Hockey Top 25 Under 25 series. Amazingly, we identified 26 players in the Avalanche organization to profile. Catch up on #21-25 plus an honorable mention, HERE.

Brad Marchand had his day with the Stanley Cup and celebrations, so naturally Nova Scotia’s finest gathered. And why not jolt the rumor mill while they are at it?

Speaking of, we discussed why Sidney Crosby may not be a great fit for Colorado, though, HERE.

In preparation for the upcoming Milano Cortina Olympics in February, 2026 both MacKinnon and Crosby will join other Avalanche stars Cale Makar and Devon Toews at the Hockey Canada orientation camp in Calgary from August 26-28.

9⃣2⃣ players from ‘s men’s, women’s and para hockey programs have earned invites to National Teams Orientation Camp in Calgary.

Rumor has it that the Avalanche will wear the classic blue Quebec Nordiques jersey sometime this season. Nothing confirmed yet nor the frequency of use as it could be a one-off Heritage look. But who is excited to see the jersey back on the ice?

What are you doing this summer to stay entertained? Let us know in the comments.
