Season Registration

At Foothills, our goal is to maximize the number of ice touches and development opportunities, while keeping costs in check and making hockey accessible to more players.  

For boys and girls ages 9 and over, FHA offers travel hockey as a member of the Rocky Mountain Hockey Federation League (RMHF). League play for RMHF occurs predominately in the Denver-Metro area but also includes Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Travel teams may also participate in out-of-state tournaments throughout the season. Recreational programs are also offered as demand dictates.  

For our high school-aged athletes, the Colorado Prep Hockey League (CPHL) is a USA Hockey and CAHA sanctioned league supporting the Colorado High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) winter ice hockey season. The primary CPHL season is in the Fall from August to mid-November. 

For boys and girls ages 8 and under, FHA offers an unparalleled hockey experience for our youngest players focused on player development utilizing the USA Hockey ADM model.  

Our family is new to hockey - how do we get started?

Getting started with hockey can definitely make parents feel out of their element, but we're here to help! We have a number of introductory programs for new players including Mile High Mites - a program we run in partnership with the Colorado Avalanche and USA hockey, our Future Flyers prep hockey program, our U8 Mites regular season programs, and our Try Hockey For Free events. Please visit the informational pages for those sites, or reach out to Bryan Smith, our Director of Player Development for more information.

How does the cost of the Foothills program compare to other associations?

Costs for ice time and officials are increasing across the state and are impacting every program. We've worked hard to absorb these costs, and increase our fundraising goals to meet these challenges, but any increases in pricing our returning families see are due to these expenses. We ask that when you are comparing between programs, you consider the amount of ice time and training that Foothills provides.  We believe we provide the best programming and value in our area, but if you have any questions about our programs, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Do you have programs for female athletes?

The Flyers have been lucky to have some incredible female athletes on our teams. Generally our youngest girls begin playing with the boys through U10. We were very excited to add girls' teams at the higher age levels for the 2023 season, and we had some incredible results. This year we be hosting a girls CPHL/High School team - the Lady Chargers. We are committed to growing our programs for female athletes to meet the demand of our community.

Do you have a rec program?

The Flyers have had a 10U Rec team for the past couple of seasons. Each year during the tryout process we evaluate the players and their abilities. If the ability of a group of players is the same, at a rec level, we will add that team into the mix of what we offer. We approach it as a whole group and after evaluations, place the players where they best fit in. If any season brings a need for a rec team at a different age group, we will add that age level into our rec program as well.
