Support Grand Junction River Hawks Hockey

We’re proud to sponsor and support the Grand Junction River Hawks Hockey Team, a rising force in junior hockey and an exciting part of the Grand Junction community. Our support is more than just putting a logo on a banner. It’s about helping fuel dreams, building community pride, and supporting young athletes as they work toward the next level in their hockey careers. The River Hawks mean something special to both players and fans here in Western Colorado. They are more than just a team; they are a springboard for growth, both on and off the ice.

The Grand Junction River Hawks compete in the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC), the top tier of junior hockey in the United States Premier Hockey League (USPHL). As part of the NCDC, the River Hawks play at one of the highest levels of junior competition in the country, and they do it tuition-free. This allows players to focus on developing their skills, gaining exposure, and pursuing college opportunities without the financial burden that often comes with junior hockey. USPHL For many young athletes, the NCDC is more than just games; it’s a pathway to NCAA hockey. The league has a strong record of helping players move on to college programs, with hundreds of alumni joining NCAA Division I and III teams.

At the heart of the Grand Junction River Hawks Hockey program is the belief that hockey builds more than just athletes; it builds character. The River Hawks are part of the Grand Junction Hockey Club, a local organization that focuses on development in every way. Through structured on-ice training and valuable off-ice activities, players grow as competitors, teammates, and individuals. This focus on overall growth, including integrity, teamwork, and community involvement, matches what we believe in as sponsors. Supporting the River Hawks means backing an organization that knows success is not just about goals and wins, but also about personal development and life lessons learned along the way.

The arrival of the River Hawks in Grand Junction has energized local hockey fans and brought a new level of competitive hockey to River City Sportplex. River City Sportplex For hockey enthusiasts, families, and young players in the stands, the River Hawks are more than a team; they are role models and local heroes. Their presence helps grow the sport in our region, encouraging excitement and participation at all ages.

What’s impressive about the River Hawks’ mission is how deeply it’s tied to the community. The club works to unite the Grand Valley and all areas of Colorado, not only by giving athletes a platform to grow but by encouraging parent involvement, community support, and teamwork that bridges generations of local hockey lovers.

One of the aspects that makes the NCDC, and thus the River Hawks, truly unique is the tuition-free nature of the league. Unlike many junior hockey programs that require significant financial investment from players and families, the NCDC removes that barrier, allowing talented athletes to focus purely on hockey and academic aspirations. This approach increases accessibility and allows more players to pursue their goals, which aligns with the inclusive, supportive hockey culture we hope to foster here in Grand Junction.

Our partnership with the Grand Junction River Hawks is not just about visibility; it’s about investing in the future. By supporting this team, we help create opportunities for young athletes to chase college hockey dreams, grow into strong citizens, and bring pride to the Grand Junction community. We believe in the same principles the River Hawks teach: hard work, teamwork, dedication, and community engagement. By cheering for this team, you are not just supporting hockey; you are supporting the next generation of leaders and role models.
