COLORADO THUNDERBIRDS
16U, 15U, AND 13U
TO REPRESENT
COLORADO AVALANCHE!

 

Colorado Thunderbirds are proud that the Thunderbirds 16U, 15U, and 13U Teams are the Champions of the Colorado Avalanche NHL Youth Cup Qualifier Tournament!  As the Champions of their division, the Colorado Thunderbirds Teams have earned the right to represent the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL Youth Cup this 2017-2018 season.  

The NHL Youth Cup - provides NHL-affiliated "AAA" youth hockey clubs an opportunity to play a weekend series of games against each other at the 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U and 18U age levels. The Colorado Avalanche does not have an affiliated "AAA" youth hockey club. To provide the opportunity for a Colorado Tier I club to participate in the NHL Youth Cup, Colorado AAA teams participated in the Colorado Avalanche NHL Youth Cup Qualifier September 7-10 with the Champion of each division earning the privilege of being designated the Colorado Avalanche representative in the NHL Youth Cup.  

The Colorado Thunderbirds 16U team went undefeated in the Avalanche Qualifier games beating Roughriders 7-1 and Rampage 5-3.  The Colorado Thunderbirds 15U team went 2-1 with wins against Roughriders 8-4 and Roughriders 7-1.  Their only loss was the first game against Rampage where they fell just short with a loss of of 2-1.  The Colorado Thunderbirds 13U went undefeated beating Roughriders 9-1 and Rampage 7-1 in the round robin games, and then winning the Championship game against Rampage 9-3.  The 18U fell just short in the Championship game with a loss of 3-4 in the Championship game.  The 14U Thunderbirds team was out of town and did not participate in the Qualifier tournament.

Congratulations to the Colorado Thunderbirds 16U, 15U, and 13U Teams!  We wish the Thunderbirds 13U the best of luck as they represent the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL Youth Cup in Anaheim, CA, December 1-3; and the Thunderbirds 16U and 15U Teams the best of luck as they represent the Colorado Avalanche in the NHL Midget Cup in Marlboro, MA, January 26-28.
