welcome back captain

On April 11, 2025, the Colorado Eagles secured a 2–0 victory over the Henderson Silver Knights at the Blue Arena in Loveland, Colorado. This game marked a significant milestone as it was the first time since June 26, 2022, for Gabriel Landeskog, who had been sidelined from the Colorado Avalanche due to knee injuries and subsequent surgeries, to take the ice. Landeskog was loaned to the Eagles for a conditioning assignment on April 9, 2025, and his return was eagerly anticipated by fans and teammates alike. Many fans have been waiting for his return and ticket prices sky rocketed as soon as there were rumors going around that our Landy would be coming back.

Luckily, we were able to be there for Landy big return to the ice. The game was intense with an amazing goal tender, Adam Scheel, who shut out the Knights from scoring.

The overall atmosphere of the arena was charged with energy, awaiting the triumphant return of our greatly missed captain, Landeskog added an entire new layer of excitement to the event. The crowd was roaring when Landy hit the ice with the Eagles and even louder when Landy was sent to the box during the game. The Eagles' ability to maintain a clean sheet against a formidable opponent underscored their defensive prowess and team cohesion.

This victory not only marked a successful return for Landeskog but also highlighted the Eagles' resilience and commitment as they continue their pursuit in the AHL standings.​
