Eurolanche finished its eight season
Eurolanche’s season summary.The Eurolanche Fan Club came into existence in the summer of 2007 and has covered everything concerning the Colorado Avalanche ever since, while also providing many interesting activities for its members. This year’s marked the eight year of the Fan Club’s existence, being as successful as the years past, while also seeing an increase of Fan Club members. “The last year has brought numerous highlights, of which I’m particularly proud of. We organized the Eurolanche Invasion VII, the seventh trip of our members to Colorado, with a record-high eight members participating. We appeared in the printed version of the Denver Post. We surpassed the 500 member mark, while continuing our work as the number one international news source for Colorado Avalanche fans worldwide,” said Fan Club president David Puchovsky.

The Fan Club’s 2014/15 season kicked off with several small, but significant changes to the main website www.eurolanche.com. The main menu became simpler and received more space. Numerous submenus of the website received innovations. The web received a game schedule with game start times in European format. Before the Eurolanche Invasion VII, the participating members met at a weekend meeting in Slovakia, where they got to know each other and talked about the trip’s schedule before venturing overseas. “We attended a total of six games and once again experienced wonderful moments thanks to the Colorado Avalanche organization, including a meeting with Patrick Roy. We split up into groups and visited Chicago and San Francisco, respectively. We drove more than 2000 miles in Colorado alone. It was the most successful Invasion in history,” Puchovsky summed up another one of the Fan Club’s journeys to Denver, during which its members had the chance to win six autographs of Avs players of their own choosing.

There were many competitions on various occasions for valuable autographs and souvenirs throughout the year, the biggest being the Eurolanche League competition, which concluded its fifth season with the three best participants receiving attractive prizes.
Media citations were another important chapter. For the first time ever, the Fan Club appeared in the printed version of the Denver Post, in which renowned journalist Terry Frei wrote about the Fan Club’s attractiveness and the ongoing Invasion VII. Aside from that, as it has been the standard during past years, a report of the trip has appeared in the Pro Hockey magazine, but not only in the Czech version, but also appearing in the Swedish and Finnish edition. Exclusive interviews are also a part of the media coverage and there have been a total of 12, several of them also appearing on well-known hockey websites all over the world.

“We kept an eye on fan feedback in places, where they gather and discuss hockey. The Eurolanche project gets more and more recognition and they really appreciate our work. This has also contributed to a higher average visitor rate of the website, thanks to which we are the most visited and most read fan site. We certainly won’t stop, quite the opposite, we have planned many new things or the upcoming season, which will be the Avalanche’s 20th season about which we’ll inform in the near future,” said Puchovsky.
