Congratulations on a GREAT season!
Congratulations to the Colorado Select U14AA team on a great and successful season. The team defeated the MSGHL Rockstars to earn a trip to the 2013 USA Hockey National Championship Tournament as the Rocky Mountain District representative. They were one of only two Colorado Select teams, and of only three teams from all of Colorado, to earn their trip to Nationals.
At Nationals the team went 1-2 in pool play and earned a place to the quarterfinals. Though they lost the quarterfinal game, they finished tied for 5th in the country! Two of their three losses in the tournament were to Frozen Four teams and one of the losses was to the eventual National Champions.
For some it was their first trip to the National Tournament and for others it was their second or even third trip. However, for everyone on the team it was a great journey and a successful season. For such a diverse group of young ladies they accomplished a great deal and have much to be proud of!
If you see one of these young ladies or their coaches around the rink in this off season, be sure to congratulate them on their success!
Colorado Select U14AA represent the Rocky Mountain Region and the Colorado Select association at USA Hockey National Championship Tournament and finish tied for 5th in the country!

U14AAs State Champions!!!
On Friday January 4th the 14AA team visited the Sox Place homeless shelter for teens and youth. The shelter provides meals, socks, clothing bank, personal hygiene supplies, Internet access, intentional mentoring and guidance, crisis intervention, and referrals to other services. The 14AA team was successful in collecting and delivering donations of over 300 socks, 50 pizzas, 15 gallons of milk and 50 dozen cookies to the shelter.
The team would like to thank all of those that donated socks to this project at the rink. They would also like to thank those who donated the food for the team to give to the shelter and those parents who provided transportation to get all of this stuff and the players downtown to the shelter!
Congratulations to these young ladies for a successful project and for working to make a difference in our community!! For more information about support Sox Place you can visit their website at http://soxplace.com/.
More pictures of the event are available on the team's photo page.
The Select 14AA team is currently collecting warm socks to be donated to a local shelter. The shelter, called Sox Place, is a daytime drop-in center for street youth. These range in ages from 12 to 30 and belong to the youth sub-culture known as “street kids.” Many have been abandoned by parents/guardians, some are victims of the foster care system, and most have been tossed aside by society. Most are just trying to survive! A hot meal and a safe place is provided Tuesday through Saturday. There are activities such as movies, video games, foosball, pool and ping pong to entertain the youth during their time at Sox Place. Staff and volunteers spend their time interacting with the youth and building friendships in order to provide healthy and constructive relationships.
Doyle Robinson started connecting with the youth who were hanging out on the 16th St. Mall in Downtown Denver in 1999. Discovering their need for clean, dry socks, Doyle used this very basic need to reach the street youth gathered on 16th Mall, eventually earning him the street name, ‘Sox.’ Following God’s leading, Sox Place was opened by Doyle and is son Jordan in May of 2002. It was established out of a desire to provide a safe place for street youth to go during the day where they could truly be accepted and loved. There was no other organization or ministry filling this need during the day. Sox Place continues today with the same heart, reaching more than 80 youth a day with dedicated staff and volunteers.
There are "Sox Boxes" located at the Edge Ice Arena for the donation of warm socks. These socks will be given to Sox Place to distribute to the youth that are served by Sox Place. If you would like more information or would like to learn how you can get involved with Sox Place you can visit their website at soxplace.com.
