Colorado Warriors and local NHL alumni build therapeutic relationship, “brotherhood at the rink”
“It reminds me why I coach. You’re coaching guys that are just thankful you’re there. They might find it cool being around a guy who played in the NHL but I find it cool being around them — guys who put their life on the line every day and did it for our country”

ENGLEWOOD, CO – DECEMBER 22: Members of the Colorado Warriors Hockey Club are from left to right John Carmichael, Chris Premo, Kyle Cook, Kyle Quincey, Bradley Glassner, goalie, David Clarkson, head coach, Joshua Clutter, Brandon Beaver, president, and Eric Lacroix, right, pose for a portrait on the ice at the Family Sports Center on December 22, 2021 in Englewood, Colorado. Kyle Quincey and other former Avs/NHLers recently became Warriors coaches, friends, fundraising partners, and mental health awareness proponents. The disabled stand-up veterans and former NHL players living in CO have joined forces to help each other out in post-“combat” careers. The Colorado Warriors Hockey Club website says they Òexist to provide opportunities for veterans with service-connected disabilities to compete at the great sport of hockey, as well as support one another through the camaraderie & fellowship shared by those who have served in the military.Ó (Photo by Helen H.
