Avalanche to Wear and Auction Special Jerseys for Boulder Tragedy Victims

The Colorado Avalanche will wear special third jerseys prior to its game tonight at Ball Arena against the Vegas Golden Knights in honor of those that died in Monday afternoon's tragedy in Boulder. The jerseys will be worn in warmup and will then be auctioned off with all proceeds going to the Colorado Healing Fund.
These special-made jerseys will have the words "Boulder Strong" on the nameplate and will all be No. 10 to represent the 10 people killed in the mass shooting at the King Soopers off Table Mesa Drive on Monday. The player wearing each sweater will autograph it after warmup.

The auction runs from Monday, March 29 to Thursday, April 1 at 8 p.m. MT at

, and the jerseys can also be bid on by texting "KSC" to 76278.
The Colorado Healing Fund provides a secure way to donate to victims of mass violence that are in need of immediate and long-term support. The Fund also works with victim service partners to identify needs and fill the gaps in financial resources. To learn more, go to

Inspired by the logo of the Colorado Rockies NHL team that played in Denver from 1976-1982, the Avalanche's third jersey is navy blue and features a triangular-mountain design in the middle that represents the state's topography and has the letter 'C' in the crest, similar to the one on the state flag. The fan-favorite sweater debuted during the team's 20th anniversary season in 2015-16.
For the contest itself, the Avalanche will wear its new Quebec Nordiques Reverse Retro uniforms as was previously scheduled.
