Hockey has developed a following in Colorado especially after the Colorado Avalanche moved into the state 20 years ago. The interest in hockey has begun to boom from three-year-olds to adults, either playing in recreation leagues or learning the game for the first time. The Foothill Flyers are one of those organizations seeing some of that trend with enrollment in their Under 8 league going from 50 children to 100 in three years.
