Breaking News; Jeremy Swayman agrees to deal with Colorado Avalanche official announcement imminent

Jeremy Swayman sat in the locker room, his thoughts racing as he stared at the phone in his hand. The news was still sinking in: he had just signed with the Colorado Avalanche. It wasn’t that he didn’t love his time in Boston, but this was a new chapter—a chance to chase a Stanley Cup with one of the NHL’s most electrifying teams.

He thought back to the phone call with his agent, just hours before.

“Colorado’s made an offer,” his agent had said, his voice full of excitement. “It’s big, and they want you as their guy.”

Swayman didn’t need convincing. The Avalanche, fresh off another deep playoff run, had a reputation for their fast-paced, dynamic play. A solid team with talent like Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar would give him the best chance to shine—and win.

His heart raced as he recalled walking into the Avs’ practice facility earlier that day, meeting with Coach Bednar and General Manager Joe Sakic. They welcomed him like family, showing him around the locker room, introducing him to the players who were already looking ahead to the next season. Their confidence in him was palpable.

“You’re going to be the backbone of this team,” Sakic had said, clapping him on the shoulder.

Now, sitting in the quiet of the locker room, he let the magnitude of it all wash over him. A new city, new teammates, and the weight of expectation—it was everything he’d ever wanted. He could almost hear the roar of the Ball Arena crowd, feel the ice beneath his skates as he pulled on that Avs jersey for the first time.

The road ahead wouldn’t be easy, but Swayman was ready. He grinned, feeling a surge of excitement. This was his moment, his shot to prove himself on one of the biggest stages in hockey.

Jeremy Swayman, the new goaltender for the Colorado Avalanche, was about to make his mark.
