Frequently asked questions about the Colorado Avalanche
Does this page include previous franchise names and locations?
Yes. Frozen Ledger treats Quebec Nordiques as part of the same franchise history shown on this page.
What does "Best Season" mean on this page?
Best Season identifies the single season in this franchise record with the strongest Frozen Ledger score in the current payload.
Why can Season FLI and Total FLI tell different stories?
Season FLI measures one campaign, while Total FLI reflects the cumulative weight of the franchise’s full history. A team can have a brilliant peak season without having the deepest overall résumé, or vice versa.
What does this page include in the franchise’s historical record?
This page includes the franchise’s full continuous history, including earlier names and locations that belong to the same lineage.
Why does this franchise rank 19th?
Colorado Avalanche sit 19th all-time in Frozen Ledger because the franchise profile blends 3 Stanley Cups, 30 playoff appearances, and a franchise history that spans multiple cities and identities. Their strongest sustained run came in the Colorado Avalanche era, which contributed 625.18 total FLI and featured a best season of 2021-22.
What changes when I switch between full lineage and current identity?
Full lineage keeps every era in view, while current identity isolates the seasons played under the franchise’s current name and location.
Can a previous identity account for most of this franchise’s legacy?
Yes. On some relocation histories, a large share of the franchise’s championships, peak seasons, or cumulative score can come from an earlier identity.
