Four of the leading associations providing girls hockey options in Colorado are collaborating to form a competitive Tier II (AA) league next season. The Aspen Leafs, Colorado Select Girls Hockey Association, Rocky Mountain Lady RoughRiders, and Colorado Springs Jr. Tigers are committed to implementing a structured plan to improve development and competition for advanced 14U age level female-athletes. The decision to work together is a welcomed move by the Colorado Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA), who fully supports the league concept. "It's exciting that these four members have come together to create a structure will better develop players and ultimately help grow the girls game throughout the state" stated CAHA President Randy Kanai.

Along with in-state tournaments and non-league competition, the regular season will consist of 12 games to be played in four (3-game) weekend events.  Each member will host an event where all teams play each other once.  After the fourth event, teams will be seeded for the CAHA State Playoffs. The CAHA State Champion will advance to the Rocky Mountain District Championship Tournament for the chance to attend the USA Hockey Girls Tier II National Championship Tournament March 31 - April 4 in Barre, Vermont. In addition to the competitive regular season schedule and playoffs, together all four members plan to organize and participate in one or more high performance training weekends. The league also plans to bring together highly skilled, like-minded and motivated female athletes from each of the four programs to compete in 2-3 out of state tournaments at the Tier I (AAA) level. 

In addition to working together to provide and improve opportunities for girls at the 14U age level, the new league intends to organize and operate two 8U/10U Jamboree events in the mountains and Front Range, respectively, to specifically promote the growth of girls’ hockey at the grass-roots level.
