Fountain Valley’s hockey team will play an independent prep school schedule beginning next season, the school announced Thursday. The planned move is the culmination of a strategic plan that began when the Danes brought back hockey in 2007 after a 19-year hiatus. “We hired Mike Payne to lead the hockey program six years ago,

Steve Fillo, who won two state ice hockey titles and nearly 75 percent of his games at Lewis-Palmer since starting the program seven seasons ago, recently stepped down from his post. “It’s been 19 years, nine at the high school level,” Fillo said on Friday while visiting family in Maine for his father’s 80th

Co-captain Trevor Shott and the Fountain Valley Danes were having a weightlifting session during the beginning of the season when they were asked to perform a cohesive, team pushup. It was one of many get-to-know-you games that Shott and the Danes took part in to help build team chemistry and unity. However, those games were noth

A Valor Christian assistant ice hockey coach sent a letter to coaches in Texas attempting to recruit players from that state. Daniel Pitman, a one-year assistant, sent a letter, obtained Tuesday by the Gazette, to coaches in Texas targeted at inviting top players there to consider attending the Highlands Ranch school as part of a so-call

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — North Dakota school administrators are investigating a photo posted to Twitter from Friday's state hockey semifinal game in which three fans in the student section are wearing Ku Klux Klan-style white robes and hoods. Shane Schuster, 19, said he was seated with some friends at Ralph Engelstad Arena when s

In a flash, Jakub Myska was at full speed. He skated to the right, split two defenders and deked five times before tucking the puck under Chatfield goalie Ryan Seltenreich’s pads. Myska threw his hands into the air. The score gave No. 1 Fountain Valley a three-goal lead after one period and it was pretty much over from there.

Fountain Valley boasted three of the top five scorers in Colorado during the regular season, as the Danes averaged 5.74 goals per game and cruised to a 15-4 overall record. But with only 12 skaters and two forward lines, No. 1 Fountain Valley's depth will be tested to maintain that torrid offensive pace when the state tournament opens Fr

Fountain Valley won the Peak Conference with a stellar 13-1 conference record.  The Danes reward? A possible second-round matchup with defending champ and perennial power Regis Jesuit, which has won three of the last five state championships, going back-to-back in 2008-09. The Danes will host the first two rounds of the

While plenty of high school student-athletes prepare to sign national letters of intent Wednesday to take their talents to college, another group looks to take its athletes in a different direction. David Dziezawiec, a junior at Air Academy, plays hockey for the AAA Rampage U18 team in Monument. Like many high school hockey playe

Jared Wolf stopped every Fountain Valley shot that came his way Saturday. Except the one that deflected off his own player’s stick and into the net. By then, however, Doherty had long since put the game away, so the tally with just 30.1 seconds left did nothing to change the outcome at the World Arena Ice Hall. Cameron Komr

Dusty Kachel will tell you he’s a better baseball player than hockey player. And he might be. But as long as he keeps tipping in game-winning, overtime goals, his teammates might try to convince him otherwise. Kachel redirected a point shot between Air Academy goalie Alex Long’s pads 34 seconds into overtime to give D

MONUMENT - Fountain Valley doesn’t have the luxury to mix up lines or give its top players much time to rest. With just 12 skaters, no one can complain about playing time. On Friday at the Colorado Sports Center, the Danes’ quality beat the quantity of Lewis-Palmer as Trevor Shott and Jakub Myska scored twice in a 5-3 victory as both
