• Eurolanche Invasion V in March 2013

Daniel Kollar, 23, lives in the city of Bardejov in Slovakia and will travel to Colorado for the first time. He has been a member of the fan club since 2008. He studied on the high school of construction and has started his own business immediately after the school.

When you decided to travel to Colorado?

At the start of the New Year, when the NHL lockout ended and when I found out what great guys are going to Colorado.

Why this year and not some previous Invasions?

I had no money or enough free time in the past for the previous Invasions. It may be the last trip for this time, the last chance to experience something like that. I told myself that I must take this chance.

It will be your first trip to Colorado. What are your expectations?

I have big expectations. I followed previous Invasions and I am looking forward on everything. I believe we will experience great two weeks in the best hockey league in the world.

What are you most looking forward?

Of course, on the NHL, my favorite team of Colorado Avalanche and players. This is a dream of every young boy, to see the NHL games in person.

How does look your preparation for the trip?

Practicing my poor English and many paper issues regarding the trip.

How the organization of the trip by the Eurolanche looks like from your point of view?

Fan club and its President play the most important role in the organization.

What would like to say to fans, which will follows the Invasion V on the internet and for fans, who are thinking about their participation for the further trips?

Follow us, cheer us and perhaps it could help you in the deciding about your participation for the next Invasions.

Will you participate in the next trip which could be organized between years 2014-2016?

It will depend on money, a time and other issues of my life. But it is possible. Never say never.
