Colorado Avalanche, LLC
 PROFILE
The Rocky Mountain air must agree with the NHL's Colorado Avalanche. The team, which began in 1979 as the Quebec Nordiques, won the Stanley Cup in 1996, its inaugural year in Colorado, and again in 2001. Led by all-star center Joe Sakic and goalie Patrick Roy, the Avalanche seems to be succeeding where a string of other professional hockey teams (Denver Falcons, Denver Mavericks, and Colorado Rockies) have failed; sellouts are a near certainty for each game. In 2000 cable programming firm Liberty Media sold the Avalanche (as well as the NBA's Denver Nuggets and the teams' new Pepsi Center home) to Wal-Mart heir and St. Louis Rams part-owner Stan Kroenke.
