Colorado Uplift introduction to hockey at the Parker Fieldhouse Parker CO
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.

Takoda Tavern – A Sports Bar in Parker CO
Posted by: | CommentsI have been waiting for this sports bar to open for about 18 months and in fact signed the petition that went around so that they could get their liquor license and I wasn’t disappointed.
It is located on the Corner of Hess and Parker Road up on the hill with a KILLER view of our gorgeous Rocky Mountains and I bet the night lights are just as fabulous as sunset was. 12311 Pine Bluffs Way It has your typical sports bar menu with a few surprises like Sweet potato fries as an option for only $1.00 more with any sandwich. Happy hour runs to 6:30 p.m. and is changing on a daily basis right now, so stay tuned! That night it was $1 off well drinks and tap beer for $2.50. Tap choices include Coors, Shock Top, Guiness and Stella.
We sampled the chicken burrito which was HUGE, came smothered with yummy green chili.. not too spicy, but very flavorful and sides of salsa, chips and sour cream for $7.95, and the Hot Shot Burger (it was HOT… ) Jalepenos on top, Pepper Jack cheese and that same good green chili that the burrito was smothered in with onion rings for $1 buck more. .
There are about 6 nice big screen TV’s and lots of Bronco Fan paraphernalia. The owner BOB.. (he wanted to make sure I spelled his name right) is a Parker local for about 20 years and came to introduce himself right after we sat down and got our drinks.
There is also a stage where he is having live music this Friday and Saturday night.
Tell Bob “Your Web Chick” sent you. 
Takoda is an Indian word which means “A Friend to All” And you will feel that atmosphere the minute you walk in the door.
