The Eastern Hockey League (EHL) team got to work this past week, as they began the defense of their back-to-back league championships. in three games against New England Conference rivals, the Avalanche were able to come out on top by scores of 6-4 (Wolves), 3-2 (Rangers), and 5-3 (Seahawks). So far, the key catalysts on offense have been returning forward Victor Nikiforov (3 goals - 4 assists), and 2nd year defenseman Jake Mendeszoon (1 goal - 6 assists).

In total, 16 players have tallied at least a point, while Andrew Lorusso, Matt Lane, and George McMichael have all picked up a victory between the pipes.

As for the brand new team in the Eastern Hockey League Premier (EHLP), the Avalanche have looked excellent in wins over the Wolves, Rangers, and Lumberjacks. It's worth noting that the Wolves won last year's EHLP Championship, the Rangers have won two of the first four titles, and the Lumberjacks won a Regular Season crown back in the 2016-17 season. It's safe to say that the Avalanche will fit in just fine in the EHLP.

Just like the EHL team, there have been 16 players that have tallied at least a point so far this year. As for the netminders, Nathan Burlew earned Goalie of the Week honors after going 2-0-0 last weekend, with a 1.50 GAA and a .940 save percentage.
