Brent Cullaton Named GM and Head Coach
Boulder, May 19, 2009: Boulder Valley Hockey Foundation (BVHF) today announced that it has purchased a Junior A hockey program from B&B Sports, LLC. The program has existed in the northern Colorado area since 2007 under the name Colorado Outlaws. be sure to visit the new Jr. Bison web site for all of the exciting news and action !
BHC went to the Vail Sportsmanship Tournament with three teams and came back with three trophies. The Squirt C White, Squirt A, and Peewee A teams all played great hockey to make the finals, but each lost a hard fought championship game.
Boulder started their championship quest on Sunday with the Peewee As going toe-to-toe with Littleton Red in a defensive showdown. The Hawks broke through a 0-0 standoff with a power play goal late in the third and added an empty netter to down the Bison 2-0. Boulder’s success was driven by only three goals allowed in five games by goalies Cody Christofferson and Bailey Aust.
The Squirt C White team played next, facing a Squirt B team from Denver Country Club. DCC handed Boulder a 6-0 drubbing early Sunday morning. The Bison rebounded well in the finals, sparked by Grace Lee’s first period goal. Boulder played great team hockey all weekend but ultimately lost in the finals 3-1.
The last hopes for a Bison championship rested on the Squirt As. Their game was a rematch of a 2-2 tie with Front Range on Saturday. Down 2-0 in the third period Boulder got on the board with a goal from Stefan Handlos-Fruhwirth. The fast skating Bison couldn’t build on their momentum and went down with a 4-1 final score.
At the end of the day the BHC faithful were proud of their teams bringing home the hardware. Congratulations to the kids for a great weekend of hockey!
