The Colorado Youth Hockey Foundation (CYHF) was formed in November 2004 as a 501-C3 non-profit corporation with the mission to provided financial support to children up to 19 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 camaraderie 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.

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.


Help us keep a kid on ice and out of hot water!
