DENVER, Colo. — The Colorado Avalanche made their training camp dates official on Friday, as the team will hit the ice for the start of the 2025-26 season in a little over a month.
According to our news partners at The Gazette, training camp for the Avalanche will officially begin on Sept. 18 and continue through Sept. 20, although the team will hold practices almost every day until the start of the regular season on Oct. 7 against the Los Angeles Kings.
Camp will consist of two groups hitting the ice every day, with one morning and one afternoon session. Colorado's first two preseason games will be on Sunday, Sept. 21, as the Avalanche and Utah Mammoth will hold split-squad games against each other at Magness Arena and Ball Arena.
All training camp practices will be held at Family Sports and are open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
