The Colorado Avalanche (colloquially known as the Avs) are a professional ice hockey team based in Denver, Colorado. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Central Division of the Western Conference. The franchise began in 1972 as the Quebec Nordiques, a charter member of the World Hockey Association. The Nordiques joined the NHL in 1979 after the two leagues merged, and remained in Quebec until moving to Colorado after the 1994-95 season.
