St. Louis Avalanche MOVES To New England (New England Avalanche)

ProPaintball.com has the latest on the move to New England! NPPL Pro Team St. Louis Avalanche franchise moves to New England.



St. Louis Avalanche will be relocating their franchise efforts to New England– in order to produce a farm team with Identity/other groups and to put teams in the NEPL. The NEPL (New England Paintball League) hosts seasonal paintball events with many formats (“7 Man / 5 Man / Pump / 3 man & XBall”).

We can say that this is no doubt a move to maximize Avalanche under 7-Man Divisions. Information had been floating from person to person on the Northeast’s potential ”new biggest draw”. Speculation had triggered behind the scenes indicators from the team. An “XBall connection” was first disproven, but the attention brought Avalanche under the microscope with our staff when New England Hurricances players were dissolving the franchise. The question was between which players who played on both teams would affect the situation. Would Avalanche fill the void in the Northeast? Clearly- this is a stunning and positive move by Avalanche.

From the Press Release:


Frank Connell, Owner & Team President, expressed excitement about the move and merger. “It’s time to make Avalanche a household name and what better way to do that than by positioning the organization to have teams in all divisions!”

Dave Archibald, Vice President of Operations & Player Development echoed Connell’s sentiments. “After eight months of hard work, I feel so blessed to finally see my vision become a reality and even more honored to be doing it alongside one of the most passionate personalities of our sport. I feel we have something very positive to bring to New England and Northeast regions of the United States.”
