The 2011–12 Colorado Avalanche season will be the 33rd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 22, 1979,[1] and 17th season since the franchise relocated to Colorado to start the 1995–96 NHL season.

The Avalanche could attempt to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs after failing to qualify in 2010–11 and three times in the last five seasons.

Off-Season

On June 16, 2011, the Avalanche promoted former player Adam Deadmarsh to assistant coach.[2] Deadmarsh will take Steve Konowalchuk's place behind the bench, as Konowalchuk has accepted the head coaching position for the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Regular Season

The Avalanche retired Peter Forsberg's #21 jersey on opening night, October 8.[3]

On November 14, the Avalanche named Milan Hejduk as the third captain in Avalanche history.[4]
