The Avs Hockey Podcast » Joe Sacco http://www.avshockeypodcast.com Two Fan's Perspectives on Colorado Avalanche Hockey...and plenty of jerseys too. Mon, 09 Jan 2012 02:16:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Welcome back to the Avs Hockey Podcast, your home for most everything Avalanche! I am your host Jay Vean. Each show will cover recent games played by the Colorado Avalanche, team news and notes, and will also include previews for upcoming Avs games. You can reach me at avalanchepodcast@comcast.net if you have any feedback, questions, comments, etc. I would love to hear from you! Thanks so much for joining me, Avalanche fans! By the way, I am in no way associated and/or affiliated with, or approved by or supported by the Colorado Avalanche Hockey Team, Inc. or the National Hockey League. I’m just a podcaster trying to keep passionate Avalanche and hockey fans (who don’t get to watch them in person or on television every game, like I do) well-informed and somewhat entertained. I make absolutely no money producing this podcast either. I make the show because I have a little time on my hands, access to podcasting tools, a loving and supportive spouse, and a passion for the sport and my hometown team. Let’s go Avs!
