Six Tier 1 players to watch as the 2020 CPHL season gets underway.

Hub exclusive: The Colorado Prep Hockey League's new season is just getting started. The Colorado Hockey Hub has identified a handful of standout players to keep an eye on.

Multiple coaches across the league mentioned Hunt-Bahn as a player to watch and for good reason. The Bruin tallied 16 goals and 26 assists a season ago, and he was particularly dangerous on the power play, notching five goals to go along with eight assists.

A Message from Coach Mel.....

Sports are so much of our lives today and teach us life lessons on how to share and be better teammates and people. For the players who have played or will play for me in the future we have shared the Hard Hat book and stories on how to be a better teammate.

Whether a current Player / Alumni or Coach it is our time to be that "Better Teammate and Person" and help each other through this historic event.

I have read many books from John Gordon including the Hard Hat and Energy Bus and believe in the Power of Positivity. The link below was shared to me and I want to share with you.

Please take a moment to visit and share the link.
