A Special Message from CAHA President

I would like to also welcome you to the 1st edition of the Colorado Avalanche Cares newsletter. This newsletter is a partnership between Colorado Amateur Hockey Association and the Colorado Avalanche. It's our goal with this program to provide you the resources and tools to ensure your family and team have a successful season. Please take the time to read through each newsletter and let's ensure that fun stays in the game for the children.

I would like to wish each of you a successful and injury free season as you enjoy what the great game of hockey has to offer.  I would also like to remind each of you to respect the game and others that participate in it, regardless of a call on the ice, final game result, or poor behavior by others who don't share your knowledge or respect of the game.

So for the 2008 - 2009 season let's all remember to "relax, it is just a game". And in the end I honestly believe that perspective will help parents create the bonds for a lifetime that the great game of hockey can provide for a family. Have a great, fun and relaxing season. I look forward to seeing you at the rink!

Should anyone have any questions or need help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Good luck this season!

Sincerely,

Phil Paolilli
President
Colorado Amateur Hockey Association

New Girls Ice Hockey Program in Denver

The Colorado Jr. Eagles (located in Lakewood CO) are excited to announce that they will be fielding girls teams in the upcoming 2008/2009 season. With the incredible growth of girls ice hockey, the Jr. Eagles look to fill the gap allowing more girls to get involved in youth ice hockey. The Colorado Jr. Eagles girls teams will compete in the Mountain States Girls Hockey League (msghl.net) and their home rink will be the Foothills Ice Arena located at 2250 S. Old Kipling St. in Lakewood Colorado.

The Jr. Eagles are holding open tryouts in late August and are looking for young athletes to field their teams for this upcoming season. If you are interested in joining the new Jr. Eagles girls ice hockey program please visit their website at: http://www.coloradojreagles.com or send them an email at girlsprogram@coloradojreagles.com

The Colorado Jr. Eagles Youth Program is based on improving every players' individual hockey skills as well as helping all players develop as people. The Jr. Eagles coaching staff is highly qualified and is determined to give every player the needed attention for improvement.

The Goal of the Jr. Eagles Girls Program are; to provide a fun and challenging environment for all the members, an affordable ice hockey experience while maintaining the maximum ice time needed for improvement, and finally a competitive atmosphere for all the players in the program. All players will be treated as if they are the only player in the program. We strive to not allow any players whether AA, A, or B to be "lost in the shuffle" any player wearing a Jr. Eagles uniform is important to us and will be treated that way.

The Jr. Eagles Goal: Offering a fun, affordable, challenging, and competitive alternative for girls who wish to play ice hockey.
