Avalanche Band

About Me

The Avalanche Band was formed circa 1997 as a diversion from our recreational hockey playing. Three of us, Mike, Danni and Greg played hockey together in an adult recreational league under the team name, Avalanche. Over the years we have had various hockey players, and non hockey players join us for our jam sessions. As a band, we can be rough at times, graceful at others (much like our hockey playing). The most consistent thing is that we have fun.
Some of us are rehearsing as a new band which will be gigging more regularly. The band is tentatively called "The Sedan Street Band"
