RECREATIONAL HOCKEY (CRHL)

Looking for a fantastic way for your child to experience the thrills of hockey in a fun and supportive environment? Look no further than the Lafayette Locomotive Recreational Hockey program! 

Our rec program offers a perfect fit for players of all ages and skill levels, from Squirt (10U) through Midget (18U). Here, your child can develop their hockey skills, build lasting friendships, and cultivate a lifelong love for the game – all without the pressure of high-level competition.

Focus on Fun, Teamwork, and Enjoyment: 

• Inclusive Environment: We welcome players of all abilities to join our program and celebrate the joy of the sport. 
• Emphasis on Teamwork: Our coaches foster a strong sense of camaraderie, where players learn to support and encourage each other on and off the ice. 
• Safe and Supportive Atmosphere: We prioritize a positive and respectful environment where everyone feels comfortable learning and growing as players.

Competitive Games, Local Travel: 

Lafayette Locomotive teams compete in the Colorado Recreational Hockey League (CRHL). The CRHL provides a fantastic alternative to the more intense schedule of the RMHF league. Here's what you can expect: 

In-State Travel: Games are played within Colorado, minimizing travel demands compared to out-of-state tournaments often associated with competitive leagues. 

Reduced Commitment: The CRHL requires less time and financial commitment compared to RMHF, making it a great option for busy families. 

Team Practices: Recreational teams, including 10U Rec, 12U Rec, 14U Rec, and 18U Rec, practice once per week, while 18U REC/A team practices twice per week. Thursday morning skills sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Tournaments: All rec teams will participate in at least 3 local tournaments (tournament fee is included in the registration fee), and league playoffs! 

Stick and Puck: All Locomotive players (rec and competitive) get all YMCA NOCO Stick and Puck sessions for free!
