For the second year in a row, the Avalanche will play its “Burgundy-White Game” at Cadet Ice Arena at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
Faceoff for the Avs' annual intrasquad game is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 22.
The game features all Avalanche players playing in a three-period scrimmage. Fans who attend also will have an opportunity to watch a shootout at the end of regulation regardless of the score.
The previous eight Burgundy/White games have raised more than $450,000 for various Colorado charities. Proceeds from this year’s game will benefit military families and of the Colorado Avalanche Youth Hockey program.
“We’re pleased to be working again this season with the Air Force Academy for a tremendous cause,” said Greg Sherman, Avs assistant general manager. “This game was a huge success last year and we’re expecting another great turnout from our fans in the area.”
Tickets for the Burgundy-White Game go on sale at 9 a.m. Aug. 18 through the Air Force Academy box office for $12-20. For more information, contact the AFA box office at 800-666-USAF (8723) or 719-472-1895 or GoAirForceFalcons.com.
