The team will play out of the CURE Insurance Arena starting in 2026-27 and is expected to make a formal announcement on Tuesday.

It’s unclear if this will affect the teams’ affiliation with the Avalanche. The Grizzlies have been rumored to be for sale since June following 30 years in their current home.

The Grizzlies became the ECHL affiliate of the Avs in 2018 after the Colorado Eagles elevated from that league to the AHL.
