ASPEN – Aspen Junior Hockey is on the edge, the cutting edge.
For the first time in program history, Aspen Junior Hockey qualified five different teams for the junior state championships on the Front Range next weekend.
“This really shows the commitment of our volunteer coaches and our players,” said Tanner Williams, director of Aspen Junior Hockey. “Our program has really grown in the last two years. We’re up to 300 kids. This helps us field teams at a high level.”
As an added bonus, he said, if the teams advance to the state championship games, the Aspen Junior Hockey players will have the opportunity to play on the NHL ice at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
The Aspen Junior Hockey teams that qualified for state are Squirt B, Pee Wee A, Bantam A, Pee Wee B Green and Bantam B.
