The newly minted minor-league affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, the Denver Cutthroats look to establish themselves as a force on the ice in their inaugural season in the Central Hockey League. Longtime NHL stalwart Derek Armstrong will serve as the Cutthroats’ head coach, leading a roster of fresh faces into their maiden season with strategic wisdom, puck-handling techniques, and zamboni-parking tips culled from a 14-year career on hockey’s biggest stage. From the cozy confines of the Denver Coliseum, spectators enjoy unobstructed views of every pad-smacking check or lightning-fast slap shot. A midgame hot dog fuels spectators’ clapping throughout the game, and a drink keeps their throats clear as they attempt to emulate the sound of splashing water or flapping gills in an effort to invent the signature cheering mantra of the Cutthroats’ fan base.
