Fan Club is working on the eighth trip to Denver. In total, 12 of its members will visit the Stadium Series game in person. Take a look at the special logo too.

A tradition continues. Eurolanche Fan Club will organize the eighth trip of its members called Eurolanche Invasion VIII to Denver for the Colorado Avalanche games in the upcoming 2015/16 season. A record number of participants – 12 from five different European countries will be a part of the unique project between February 24 and March 10 of 2016. Fan Club’s members from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany and Switzerland will be in the stands of Pepsi Center for the five home regular season games against San Jose Sharks, Florida Panthers, Nashville Predators, Arizona Coyotes and Anaheim Ducks. “A highlight of whole Invasion will be two very special games. We will visit both Alumni and Stadium Series games at Coors Field on February 26 and 27,†announced the Fan Club President David Puchovsky.

A logo of the trip. It is special designed for the special event. Any of the past Invasion had no more unique logo.

David Puchovsky will be back in Denver for a record seventh time. Four more his countrymen from Slovakia will join him: Tomas Vnuk for the second time; Jozef Illes, Martin Machnic and Martin Jurkovic for the first time. Czech Republic will be represented by Ondrej Kolinsky (second appearance), David Gavenda and Jan Nemcik (first time for both of them). Norbert Gruber of Austria will join the event for the sixth time, the second highest number of entire organization. Robert Heppekausen and Boris Wiedemeyer will become first Eurolanche members from Germany that will be a part of the Invasion as well as Alexander Mader from Switzerland.

“Overall organization of the Eurolanche Invasion VIII is being harder than ever as in total 12 fans will travel overseas. It is a big challenge for the Fan Club. We do not want to take any risk, so we have been working on this trip since end of the past season. Thanks our effort we could buy tickets for the Alumni/Stadium Series Game for all Invasion members in spite of the sale has been strictly limited,†said Puchovsky.

Past Invasion VII brought many trips within and outside Colorado State. Invasion VIII is supposed to surpass it.

The final number of the visited Avalanche games at the Invasion VIII may be even higher – eight – in the case if the group will travel to Minnesota for the away game against Wild. For now, the final schedule is not known and should be published in the next weeks. “We are still working on it. There were talks about trips to all over Colorado, Grand Canyon or Las Vegas. We really, really want to do anything to make the Invasion VIII the best and the most unique trip in the Fan Club history. It will be such honor for us to be in Denver during the 20th season of the Avalanche and in the stands for the Stadium Series game,†concluded Puchovsky. As every year, the Invasion schedule will include personal meetings with the Avalanche players and private meetings with few of the current and former players, visits to the practices on both game- and off-days, interviews for the local media, trips within and outside Colorado State, visits to other sports events and many more.

There will be special Eurolanche Invasion VIII coverage before and during the event for those members, who could not join the group. Non-stop updated news, diaries, photo and video galleries will be available at the special website Invasion.Eurolanche.com that currently offers great review of all past seven Invasions. Besides reading and watching, all Eurolanche members may take a part in the special contests for the Avalanche merchandise. Dates and rules will be announced later. Finally, all breaking news and rest of the coverage will be online at the main website www.eurolanche.com and on two official Eurolanche’s social accounts on Facebook and Twitter.



The Fan Club will offer to its members a chance for the preliminary registration for the Eurolanche Invasion IX during the Invasion VIII. The next trip should be organized in 2016/17 season that will be tenth in the Fan Club history. Those members who expressed their interest in the Invasion VIII, but could not travel at the end, will have a first chance to send their preliminary registration for the Invasion IX. Then the public registrations will be announced.
