What a camp. 🏒🇺🇸
Three days. World-class coaches. Memories that'll last a lifetime.
A massive THANK YOU to the incredible staff who made this weekend happen right here in Denver:
🙌 Coach Hoff

🙌 Declan Farmer

🙌 Malik Jones

🙌 Evan Nichols

🙌 Travis Dodson

🙌 Chuck Gridley

🙌 Eric Woodbeck
These guys didn't just show up — they SHOWED OUT. Every player on that ice walked away better than they came in, and that's a direct reflection of the time, energy, and passion this staff poured into our community. 💪
To our players — you put in the work. Be proud of that. 🔥
Until next time, Team USA. We hope you come back to Denver soon. 🎉

🏒✨ One of OUR OWN — 🐐 THE GOAT Declan Farmer 🐐 Named USA Hockey Disabled Athlete of the Year! ✨🏒

We couldn't be more proud to celebrate one of the greatest to ever lace up a sled — Declan Farmer has been named USA Hockey's Disabled Athlete of the Year! 🏆

This season, Declan put together one of the most dominant individual performances in Paralympic history — 15 goals and 26 points at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympics, setting records for both in a single Games. He was named Tournament MVP, led Team USA to its 5th consecutive gold medal, and cemented his place as the all-time leader in Paralympic goals, assists, and points. 🥇🐐

But beyond the records and the hardware, what makes Declan truly special is the kind of person he is. He makes everyone feel welcome. He lifts people up. He shows every young sled hockey player — including the ones in OUR program — what's possible when you combine heart, work ethic, and love for this game. ❤️

Declan, you inspire us every single day. Congratulations on a well-deserved honor! 👏

🏒🥇

1️⃣5️⃣ goals, 2️⃣6️⃣ points, 4️⃣ hat tricks and countless records were shattered at the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games by Declan Farmer 👏

The four-time Paralympic gold medalist will be recognized as the Disabled Athlete of the Year on June 5th!

🔥 The perfect ending to an incredible season — good company, a warm fire, and the people who make it all possible. 🏒❤️

To our parents and coaches: THANK YOU. What you give to this program goes so far beyond the ice. It's the early wake-up calls, the gear hauling, the pep talks in the locker room, and the hugs after the hard losses. It's showing up — every single time — because you believe in these kids and in this community. 🙌

You are the reason this program thrives. The players get the glory, but you are the heartbeat behind every shift, every goal, and every smile on the ice. We don't say it enough — but we see you, we appreciate you, and we are so incredibly grateful. 🧡

Here's to an amazing season and the most dedicated hockey family around. We couldn't do any of this without you. 🔥🏒
