Ian Cole (and his beard) are ready for new Avalanche playoff experience

Ian Cole is the Colorado Avalanche player with the most Stanley Cup rings on his fingers (two), joining a group of four players on the current roster (Philipp Grubauer, Andre Burakovsky and Vladislav Namestnikov) who have at least one.

Ian Cole is also the Colorado Avalanche player with the longest beard – and the playoffs haven’t even started yet. Cole, as Avs fans know, has worn a beard all season – and for much of his NHL career, which includes two championship seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
