YOUTH HOCKEY LEAGUE

Join us on Saturday, May 11 for a celebration of the inaugural season of the Lafayette Locomotive! During the banquet we will have pizza and beverages in the Stewards Youth Hockey Room and the Ice Lobby to celebrate the 2018-19 inaugural season. We will also have a quick meeting to provide some information on the 2019-20 Locomotive hockey season after everyone has settled in. After the banquet, stick around and watch our Locomotive coaches take on the Stewards in a friendly fundraiser game! There will be several raffle prizes including an 2018-19 Colorado Avalanche signed team stick, one week at Y summer camp and more.

Hockey Club Lafayette

Lafayette Locomotive

Hockey Club Lafayette’s inaugural Colorado Rec Hockey League season is in full swing. Playing under the name Lafayette Locomotive, our CRHL program offers an alternative to the highly competitive environment of travel hockey. We provide the family atmosphere expected from the YMCA as well as an experienced hockey leadership that will grow the culture and programming at the Carlston Ice Arena. 2019/2020 season information to be announced.

The Lafayette Locomotive name is a nod to the town’s rich railroad history that lead to the mining expansion and settlement of Colorado in the late 1800s. Lafayette’s railroads served an important role in the support of rock mines in the Rocky Mountains and built the foundation for the close-knit community that we all know and love today.
