Thunderbirds Announce Coaching Staff for the 2012-2013 Season

Press Release

The Colorado Thunderbirds are excited to announce the coaching staff for the 2012-2013 season. The Thunderbirds offer the highest level of coaching from top to bottom. We are the proud home of Colorado's first Tier 1 National Championship, the 2010 U16 Tier 1 team. For complete information on the 2012-2013 tryouts please visit our website at www.tbirdhockey.org.

The Colorado Thunderbirds provide the benchmark of AAA competition for elite players at the U18, U16, U15, U14, U13, U12 and U11 levels. The Thunderbirds are the seven time defending State Champion at the U16 level and four time defending State Champion at the U14 level. For the third straight season, the U18 team is the defending Rocky Mountain District Champions which has allowed them to advance to the national tournament. The U16 team has been to the national tournament five out of the past seven years. The U14 team has been to the national tournament four of the past six seasons. The U12 team has participated in three of the past six national tournaments. The Thunderbird 98 team won the inaugural 2012 Super Series 98 Cup. We are proud members of the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League at the U18 and U16 levels and Super Series AAA League at U15, U14, U13, U12 and U11 levels.

We are very fortunate to have some former NHL players helping develop, motivate and coach our players with our spring, summer and fall/winter programs.
