Telluride is a Hockey Town
Telluride, Colorado is a Hockey Town. Or put another way, Telluride is a ski town with a hockey problem. And the LizardHead Youth Hockey Club and Telluride-Durango High School are at the top of the state.
Pee Wee A? STATE CHAMPS!
Colorado High School? 4A STATE CHAMPS
And as Mayor? I got to help organize, ride and speak at celebration parade. Teh Pee Wee A Team beat Vail 5-4 in Double Overtime. The Combined Telluride/Durango Team? They ran the table in the Class 4A State Tournament, beating #1 Glenwood Springs in the semi final, and Summit (Breckenridge) 3-2 in the Final.
Woo Hoo.
So raise a glass and Celebrate these 2 teams. And might as well celebrate the Adult Co Ed Leage Champs, Counter Culture, who won their 12 team local tournament too.
And to think, back in the day, I was President of the Telluride LizardHead Hockey Club and a long time board member.
Telluride Hockey. Since 1985.
