Martin Jurkovic, 28, lives in Bratislava. When collecting hockey cards in primary school he ended up having the most from Quebec Nordiques so he became a fan of Nordiques and then Avalanche. It will be his first Invasion and he will turn 29 during the first game of Invasion against San Jose Sharks. He studied Comenius University, Faculty of Management and works as a cabin crew member for Slovak airline company AirExplore.
When did you become an Avalanche fan?
At primary school.
What is your greatest memory on the Avs hockey?
When Avs played Game 7 vs New Jersey in 2001. I was with my brother who is a Devils fan at my grandparents’ cottage. We didn’t have internet there so we had to wait for radio news in the morning. I was the happier one.
How long have you been in the Eurolanche Fan Club and what do you think about this organization?
I am a member of Eurolanche since 2012. I appreciate "backstage" information about the team and organizing trips to Colorado.
Why did you decide to join the Eurolanche Invasion VIII?
Invasion is an ideal opportunity to see Avalanche games with great organization of Eurolanche, with a chance to meet players. The Stadium Series Game against Detroit is icing on the cake.
Did you follow the past Eurolanche Invasions?
I followed past Invasions on Facebook and Eurolanche website. I was always jealous for what people experienced, in a good way of course.
What do you expect from the Eurolanche Invasion VIII? What are you looking forward most on?
My expectations are high, but I am sure they will be surpassed by far. It’s hard to name all the things I am looking forward. On games, atmosphere, meeting with players, Stadium Series Game, trips, new people, hamburgers, Denver, new experience...
