Do not miss:
Norbert Gruber, 32, lives in Vienna, Austria and has been a member of Eurolanche since it’s inauguration in 2007. He became an Avalanche fan when the franchise relocated from Quebec to Denver in 1995. It will be Norbert’s sixth trip to Denver missing only the first and the fifth Invasion due to the NHL lockout and separated Invasions in the first year. His sixth appearance at the Invasion is the second highest amongst the Eurolanche members. Norbert studied economics, business administration and political science and works in the Financial Services Industry as an advisor/consultant.
Why did you decide to come back to Denver for the sixth time?
Because Denver is just simply an awesome city and it's always something special to see the Avs play in the Pepsi Center, it always give you the chills. Additionally, I am also looking forward to see many friends from Eurolanche and from Denver again, which makes always a fun time over there!
Aren’t you afraid you will experience the same?
No way, it's never boring in Denver. It is now the 6th time for me, so I should have got bored already at the 3rd or 4th time. But as you can see, it convinces me to come a 6th time, so it is definitely not boring over there.
What do you expect of the Eurolanche Invasion VIII and what are you looking forward most on?
I am definitely looking forward to see the Avs live again in Pepsi Center und to see all my friends from Eurolanche again. It is always a fun time with them in Denver.
What is your greatest memory or experience of the past Invasions that you were a part?
The greatest experience in Denver so far was the visit of the Avs locker room in Pepsi Center, something, only a few people are allowed to experience in their lives. Yeah, and I will also always remember New Year's Eve celebrations over there in the past.
Can you imagine you would be back in Denver again?
YES! DEFINITELY! Next question...
What would you tell to the fans that aren’t sure about their possible participation?
Join! It is definitely worth it, so many fun things about this trip. It is such a great experience, even on the 5th trip last year and it convinces so many people to come again. So just join and you will see that you want to come back again.
