Playing career
On March 31, 2025, Makar signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Avalanche. Following the signing, he reported to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Colorado Eagles, on an amateur tryout.[2]
Makar entered the 2025–26 season participating in the Avalanche's training camp. He was cut from the roster during the training camp and assigned to the Eagles.[3] On October 31, Makar was called up to the Avalanche after Gavin Brindley was knocked out of the lineup due to an injury. He made his debut a day later against the San Jose Sharks, where he recorded one hit and 6:07 in ice time before being sent down to the Eagles the same day.[4] With his debut, it was the first time in Avalanche history that two brothers played together.[5]
