The Colorado Avalanche, often called the Avs, are a professional ice hockey team based in Denver, Colorado, and members of the Central Division of the Western Conference in the National Hockey League. The franchise was founded in 1972 as the Quebec Nordiques, one of the charter teams of the World Hockey Association, and joined the NHL in 1979 in the merger of the two leagues. After the 1994-95 season it was sold and moved to Denver, where it swept the Florida Panthers in the 1996 Stanley Cup Final in its first season there. Further championships followed in 2001 against the New Jersey Devils and in 2022 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The team plays at Ball Arena, shared with the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Mammoth.
