The CERHL, Colorado?s Premier Elite Team Travel Program, has concluded its first phase of tryouts for the 14 and 17 & under age groups. Players within these age categories will be now assigned, according to skill and experience, to the Tier I (advanced) Metro Mad Dogs, and Tier II (intermediate) Titans, and Inferno teams for Bladium Sports Club and Breakaway Center locations.

The CERHL?s robust training programs will include a schedule of twice-weekly, two-hour clinics. This gives CERHL and non-CERHL members an opportunity to work on everything from defensive and offensive skills, speed skating, puck handling, passing, ?tactical? skills, and well as strength and conditioning for preparation to the next high school CHSIHA season.

Additional Tryout Opportunities

Players still interested in participating in the CERHL Elite Travel program are welcome as ?walk-ons? to any of the scheduled practice dates at either Denver?s Bladium Sports Club, or the Breakaway Center in Westminster. We still have roster positions open for the Tier II Intermediate and, Tier III Developmental divisions for both locations.
