Paddles Up and Santa Hats On!
The Avalon Dragons are trading our life jackets for ugly Christmas sweaters and our paddles for candy canes! We might be off the water for the winter but our spirits are riding high. Wishing all our friends, families and supporters a Very Merry Christmas. Thank you for being the rhythm in our drum this year! Stay warm, stay safe and keep paddling forward! See you in 2026!
