2013 Colorado Thunderbirds Spring Program Overview
The Colorado Thunderbirds Program was formed in 2002 with the goal to provide elite players an opportunity to compete against the very best teams and players in the country. The 2010 U16 team won Colorado’s first Tier I National Championship! Thunderbirds are proud members of the Midget Tier 1 AAA Elite Hockey League. This league consists of the top 24 AAA organizations across the United States pitting the best talent in the country against each other in the quest for greater development and tougher competition. The Bantam and PeeWee teams are exclusive members of the Super Series AAA Elite Hockey League.
We will select up to 32 skaters and 4 goalies per level (1999-2005) who will receive an opportunity to train with the Colorado Thunderbirds. There will be a few spots available for practice players and goalies. Our goal is to field two teams at each birth year.
