Propel Colorado Hockey

A nonprofit organization

Propel Colorado Hockey keeps top Colorado hockey players in the sport and in the state. 

Colorado is facing a concerning trend: Around 1 in 5 of our top male and female youth hockey players are leaving Colorado in search of more competitive play at a lower cost. Some leave the sport due to family budget constraints. While we rank 9th in youth hockey registrations, Colorado’s top-rated team nationally is ranked 25. These statistics tell a story of talented youth hockey players with big dreams, but limited access and opportunities. 

Propel Colorado Hockey is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping Colorado hockey players in the sport and in the state. We aim to provide talented individuals with the resources and opportunities they need to excel in hockey with the short-term goal of producing six on and off ice leaders in NCAA Division I players per year in development programs.

Here’s how we will do it: 

Supporting development programs of top youth players from the Colorado hockey environment to set and measure program goals.

Supporting individual hockey players with financial and other help. 

Fostering community engagement.

Advocating for ice infrastructure.

We welcome hockey lovers, sports lovers, and everyone in our beloved Colorado community who wants to see talented kids dream big and achieve. 

Mission

Propel Colorado Hockey was started by parents of diverse, talented hockey players who found Colorado youth hockey to be exclusive. High costs, lower competition, and limited ice priced talented kids out of the sport. Because of a costly pay-to-play model, top Colorado youth hockey players often must leave Colorado during their teenage years to pursue their dream. Through this effort, we will create a local youth hockey experience reflective of renowned Colorado championship hockey with access and opportunity for talented players regardless of income.
