Grizzly Hockey Philosophy

The Glenwood Springs Youth Hockey Association (Grizzly Hockey) is an affiliate of the Colorado Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) and USA Hockey.

Grizzly Hockey is a community-based, grassroots ice hockey association that is classified by USA Hockey as a "Recreational/Development" organization.  This means that Grizzly Hockey is an all-inclusive association that welcomes any and all youth athletes interested in participating in ice hockey. 

We are a non-profit organization with the sole mission to provide the opportunity to participate in training and recreational competition to any child with emphasis on healthy growth and fun.  Grizzly Hockey follows USA Hockey's Athletic Development Model (ADM), which is based on the Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) process.   For more information on the ADM and LTAD click on the PLAYER DEVELOPMENT tab at the top of the page.

Grizzly Hockey offers scholarships to help defray the cost of seasonal playing fees when help is needed.
