RIP Claude Lemieux

We were glad and honored to meet him in Denver in 2016. Read more from our founder:

Zarmútila ma nečakaná správa… Vo veku 60 rokov zomrel bývalý hráč Colorada Avalanche (a ďalších tímov NHL) Claude Lemieux. Vďaka Eurolanche som mal možnosť ho stretnúť v roku 2016 v Denveri pri príležitosti konania zápasu pod holým nebom. Deň pred riadnym zápasom hrali legendy Avalanche proti Red Wings. Tak som videl v akcii aj Claudea…

Viac i menej skalní fanúšikovia NHL veľmi dobre vedia, o koho ide. 90. roky, výsledky zápasov cez teletext, do toho dominancia Colorada a zrodenie asi najbrutálnejšej rivality v histórii športu - Colorado vs. Detroit. Všetko to začalo tvrdým zákrokom Claudea voči Krisovi Draperovi… Claude to schytal o niekoľko mesiacov neskôr.

O tejto rivalite, ktorá trvala hlavne v rokoch 1996-2008 je jedna výborná kniha od novinára Adriana Datera.

Claude, vďaka za hokejové spomienky a tvoju nezabudnuteľnú rolu v budovaní klubu spod Skalistých hôr. Odpočívaj v pokoji!

DAY 25: EUROLANCHE ON TOUR XVI

The alarm clock came around five in the morning. Once, the two of us were in a taxi, where I came up with a funny description: A Slovak, an Austrian and an Arab meet in a taxi driven by a Turkish driver... In the end, everything went smoothly, we flew off and landed safely. I had all my suitcases and so I could take the symbolic, last photo of this legendary trip on its 25th day (!) - Eurolanche on Tour XVI.

DAY 24: EUROLANCHE ON TOUR XVI

Three-quarters of our group made it home without any problems. I had a smaller adventure ahead of me.

I had plenty of room on the plane, as I was by the window and there was no one in the middle, except for the lady in the aisle. We chatted and I found out that she was from Nebraska and that it was her first time traveling that far. She had several family members on board. Destination? Tanzania. Wow. I thought that by the time I got home, she would still be somewhere over Africa... Otherwise, hats off to her for enjoying life at such an age, and her mother was almost 90 years old!
