The Colorado Springs Amateur Hockey Association is proud to announce that the Pikes Peak Miners have been granted permission by the Colorado Amateur Hockey Association to field a Bantam AAA team starting in the upcoming 2008-2009 season.
The Miners program has fielded a Major Midget team for 15 years and has been highly successful at helping Colorado players move up through the hockey ranks. A Miners U16AAA team was added in 2006 and has quickly established itself among the elite teams in the Rocky Mountain District. The addition of the Bantam AAA team has completed the development of the Miners AAA program.
Over the years, the Pikes Peak Miners have moved over 60 players to junior hockey, over 30 to College hockey, and another 20 to NCAA Division I college hockey. Former Miners players are currently skating for the University of Denver, Colorado College, University of Maine, UMass-Lowell, Air Force Academy, and Sacred Heart. In addition, 4 former Miners players have been drafted in the NHL draft including 2 in the first round.
By implementing Bantam AAA into the structure of the Miners organization, we will have the opportunity to prepare more Colorado players to compete and contribute at the Midget AAA level. The goal of the Miners Bantam team will be to provide Colorado players with an opportunity to develop their hockey skills in an environment which focuses on discipline, hard work, and character.
We are honored that CAHA has approved our proposal to field a AAA team at the Bantam level. We have every intention of running our Bantam team with the same integrity, honesty, and ethical considerations that we’ve proven to maintain at both the U16 and U18 levels.
Formal coaching announcements will be posted soon. Tryout information will be available shortly. Please check this site frequently for updates. For information on the Pikes Peak Miners program, please contact Lucas Trombetta at pikespeaklucas@msn.com or (719) 439-4731.
