The Colorado Avalanche is owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which is controlled by billionaire Stan Kroenke. The ownership stake of the Avalanche (and the Denver Nuggets) is held in the name of Stan Kroenke's wife, Ann Walton Kroenke, to comply with NFL rules forbidding owning teams in other markets. Stan Kroenke acquired the Avalanche in 2000 and under his ownership, the team has won multiple Stanley Cups and division titles.
