Colorado Avalanche
The Colorado Avalanche franchise was created when the Quebec Nordiques were relocated to Denver Colorado in 1995.
In the inaugural season in Denver, the Avalanche were able to pull off a trade for future hall of famer Patrick Roy. With Patrick Roy in the net, the team was able to win a cup in their first season in Denver. The Avalanche had continued success but failed to break through with another cup until the 2000-2001 campaign.
