Avalanche fans serenade Stanley Cup banner ceremony with ‘All the Small Things’ sing-along

“All the Small Things” is back!

“All the Small Things” helped propel the Colorado Avalanche to its first Stanley Cup in over 20 years this past summer, so of course the team was going to bring it back for another season.

On Wednesday, the Avalanche held their Stanley Cup banner ceremony to celebrate their championship with their fans as the 2022-23 season began. After the Avalanche’s “All the Small Things” tradition became mainstream last season, the team fittingly used it as part of a hype video for their Stanley Cup banner ceremony.

Not only that, Blink-182 bassist and co-lead vocalist Mark Hoppus was in attendance as fans belted out the lyrics to the classic 2000s rock song in an epic sing-along.

What an awesome moment for Avalanche fans! I, for one, am extremely excited for another year of one of the best traditions in the NHL.
