Professional playoff hockey is still happening on the Front Range. It's a little too far north for the Avalanche's liking, but it's a perfect scenario for Avs president Pierre Lacroix and his family.

Lacroix's son, Eric, is a co-owner and assistant coach of the Arizona Sundogs. The Central Hockey League franchise captured the first two games of the President's Cup Finals against the Colorado Eagles and visits Loveland's Budweiser Events Center for Games 3, 4 and 5 (if necessary) on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Eric Lacroix is one of two Sundogs owners and assists head coach and general manager Marco Pietroniro. Lacroix played for the Avalanche and four other NHL teams, enjoying his best season in 1996-97 with 18 goals and 36 points.
