Colorado Avalanche

Colorado joined the league as the Colorado Rockies in Tournament #52.  Over fifty tournaments, the Rockies managed a terrible record of 14-37-19 with no tournament wins.  When the league contracted from 34 teams to 32 teams for tournament #103 (Oct. 20, 2001), the Rockies merged with Tampa Bay to become the Avalanche.  The Avalanche proved a more successful team, posting a better record and winning two 10 day Lindsay tournaments.
