Junior Varsity Elite Championship Series

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Junior Varsity Elite Hockey Championship Series for the upcoming 2023/2024 season. This new series is designed to provide a platform for some of the most talented Junior Varsity hockey teams in the Colorado to showcase their abilities and compete for a best-in-class Championship.

Our goal with this new championship series is to provide a competitive and challenging environment for young high school aged players to develop their skills and prepare for the next level of their high school hockey careers. We believe that by creating a platform that showcases the best Junior Varsity hockey players, we can help to elevate the sport and inspire the next generation of hockey players.

The Junior Varsity Elite Hockey Championship Series will feature teams from across the high School league, each competing for the chance to be crowned the champion. The series will be structured in a playoff format, with each game played in a high-energy, competitive atmosphere.

We are thrilled to be able to offer this new championship series to Junior Varsity hockey players, coaches, and parents. We believe that this new series will help to strengthen the Junior Varsity Division and provide exciting, competitive Hockey.
