ABOUT

The Colorado Youth Hockey Foundation (CYHF) was formed in November 2004 as a 501-C3 non-profit corporation with the mission to provide financial support to children up to 18 years and their families who cannot afford the often substantial costs associated with playing youth ice hockey.

Instruction that is given, athletic skills developed, accountability expected, and comradery fostered within the context of team hockey play can provide benefits well beyond the scope of athletics and well into the future. These benefits can be made accessible to youth and their families who cannot afford to pay the rising costs of ice fees, equipment, and travel through a variety of CYHF programs ranging from a General Purpose Fund used to assist children at any level of play, to a AAA Fund that provides assistance to elite players who require financial assistance in order to play at a AAA level.

CYHF also offers guidance to youth and their families as they go through the evaluation of educational prospects, and can open doors to such institutions with contacts through the Foundation's Board of Directors.

We believe that by keeping "A Kid on Ice" and out of "Hot Water" we can help youth explore athletic potential and provide a fundamental system of values through athletics that will offer benefits lasting long into the future. Please contact us for more information concerning The Colorado Youth Hockey Foundation, to nominate a person for support, to indicate your interest to be a financial contributor to CYHF funding programs, or to apply for funding in one of our programs.
