Awesome. Thanks for the advice.Yeah, as tigre said above the best bet is to go to their practice facility. They practice here; Family Sports Ice Arena - South Suburban Parks and Recreation | Centennial, CO (you can copy the address).
Another thing to note is they do not practice at Family Sports Ice Arena on game-days, they practice at Pepsi Centre there and won't be able to get in. Your best bet is to head to practice on the off days for games, but those practices are hit and miss because sometimes Bednar has optional skates, especially between games. They tend to practice around 8ish and go until 10 or 11am, but someone who has more information might be able to give you more accuracy, but they'll be on the ice between those times.
Afterwards, you will have to go around the building where the players come out from. There might be other fans going to the same area, so just tag along and follow them. January will be cold, even if snow in Colorado melts in a couple of days, January is definitely one of the coldest months here. Another thing you can do for more information is contact @EurolancheDavid or perhaps plan a trip with them since they get behind the scene access. Here's your info for Pepsi Centre tours; Pepsi Center Tours | Pepsi Center (call them if you have any questions because I never did it). Honestly, this is my opinion so take it with a grain of salt (and perhaps Eurolanche can tell you more if it's worth doing), but I would rather go to another museum, spend the time at the Zoo, or go to the botanic garden even in January than do the Pepsi Centre tour, but that's just me.
Have fun driving on the wrong side of the road though if you don't Uber/Lyft from your hotel. Cheers mate!
As for my comment about the Denver Museum, so me and my family don't get eaten by a pack of wolves. For first and only time visitors, it probably is worth chequing out. It has enough stuff where you can spend half a day in with stuffed animals, geology (boring AF though), Egypt, space, IMAX theatre, and dinosaur exhibit. They actually got a very good dinosaur exhibit, but not sure how hype the place is if you're not a 7-year-old kid. They also tend to have a special exhibit (costs extra money though) that cycles between the museums; the last one was The Dead Sea Scrolls, King Tuts artefacts, and two years before that they had the Human Body Experience which was med student's dream. Cheque their website to determine what special exhibit they have now. But after you've been to it a couple of times, there is absolutely nothing to go back to.
Might get in touch with them.but I think their trip is a few weeks later for the outdoor game.
Yea the driving thing will be a laugh haha but I have experienced it before.
I'm going to take my girlfriend up to aspen for snowboarding as that's what I've heard is good but snobby. But I'm OK with that.
Are there any other good ski fields around?
