It’s become a tradition, that is Colorado Extreme’s National Hockey League (NHL) Alumni Outdoor Classic, hosted for the second time at the youth hockey nonprofit’s Steadman Philippon Outdoor Arena off of Catherine Store Road on Saturday, Dec. 14.
The teams, Avalanche Alumni versus NHL Alumni, took to the ice just after 3pm and the Avs came out on top with a final score of 8-4. Interestingly enough, even actor Cuba Gooding Jr. donned a jersey, skates, pads and all for the NHL Alumni.
The annual event benefits Colorado Extreme’s mission to bring hockey to kids in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys, many who never had the chance to hit the ice in this way before.
