Avalanche Fans and Players Excited for 'Fourth Wing' Night
Brock Nelson, while browsing a bookstore in Toronto with former New York Islanders teammate Matt Martin, discovered the character Violet Sorrengail. Meanwhile, Scott Wedgewood, driving from Michigan to Denver, became captivated by the romantasy world of “Fourth Wing,” a novel involving dragons and intricate world-building.
Over 2,500 fans purchased special tickets for “Fourth Wing” night on Thursday at Ball Arena, all eager to celebrate Rebecca Yarros’ debut novel in the “Empyrean” series. Alongside them, players and team staff look forward to meeting Yarros, a Colorado Springs resident and hockey mom.
“I’m pumped for that night, the jersey, having Rebecca there,” Nelson said. “I’m hoping I get to meet her. It’s cool to have that connection now."
“Last year, I remember somebody was like, ‘Hey, did you see the author of ‘Fourth Wing’ was at one of your games?’ I had no idea. Then I saw that she’s a huge fan. Fast forward to now with ‘Fourth Wing’ night, and it’s pretty cool.”
The Yarros family are avid Avalanche supporters, though Rebecca’s husband is originally from the East Coast and grew up a Rangers fan. They attended a game in Denver last season when the conversation about her throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park arose.
