2012 Colorado Thunderbird AAA Spring Development Program

The Colorado Thunderbirds Program was formed in 2002 with the goal to provide elite players an opportunity to compete against the very best teams and players in the country. The 2010 U16 team won Colorado’s first Tier I National Championship! Thunderbirds are proud members of the Midget Tier 1 AAA Elite Hockey League. This league consists of the top 25 AAA organizations across the United States pitting the best talent in the country against each other in the quest for greater development and tougher competition. The Bantam and PeeWee teams are exclusive members of the Super Series AAA Elite Hockey League.  We will select up to 32 skaters and 4 goalies per level (1998-2004) who will receive an opportunity to train with the Colorado Thunderbirds. There will be a few spots available for practice players and goalies. Our goal is field two teams at each birth year.  You will be taught by our elite coaching staff.  Our program will allow you to train, practice, and compete with the top players at your birth year.  This experience will provide a unique and fun hockey adventure for each player.  We are certain that you will leave a better hockey player than when you started.  Each player will improve and develop their skills while making new friends along the way.
