Posted by: | CommentsColorado UpLift Introduction to Hockey
On Tuesday, Jan. 26 the Colorado Elite Inline Hockey Federation (CEIHF) and the elite Rocky Mountain Talons inline hockey team program partnered with Denver inner-city youth programs to host a learn-to-play hockey festival at the Parker Fieldhouse. Led by director Mike Magera, the Hockey without Boundaries initiative and Talons players taught 80 inner-city at-risk children in the Colorado Uplift program the benefits of health and fitness through floor hockey participation
Parker Mayor David Casiano welcomed the youth and encouraged them to stay active. The event included inline hockey exhibitions, skills demonstrations and hands-on lesson instruction from the Talons designed to encourage youngsters to learn to play the sport of hockey.
As a special treat, Colorado Avalanche player Wojtek Wolski
spoke to the youth about the importance of hockey, signed autographs and assisted during lessons giving face-to-face attention to such a noteworthy event.
The Hockey without Boundaries program uses floor hockey and inline hockey clinics to introduce the sport to youth of all ages and backgrounds.
The Colorado Avalanche
has supported the program by donating several sets of hockey equipment to be distributed throughout the Town of Parker recreation programs, elementary schools and inner-city programs as part of the CEIHF youth hockey initiatives. In addition, Colorado Avalanche alumni and current players have donated their time to this very important cause by
assisting CEIHF toward reaching out to Denver’s inner-city youth community.
The Rocky Mountain Talons Elite Inline Hockey team’s home rink is the Parker Fieldhouse. For more information on the Hockey without Boundaries program and CEIHF visit www.ceihf.org or contact Eddie Delgado at 720.257.3813.
