This year’s Pueblo County High School hockey team is dominating the competition with an 8-4-0 record. The county team is currently number one in the 4A south division with just eleven games played so far this season. On January 11th the PCHS team traveled up to Air Academy and blew them out of the water with a score of 8-1.

“This team is a lot of fun for me to coach because I coached many of the players when they were in the Pueblo Youth Hockey program. It is rewarding to see how the players have grown and developed over the years. This team is very hungry for success as the seniors were part of a 0-19 season,” stated Head Coach Jeff King.

The PCHS team is made up of players from all around Pueblo, which is interesting considering the fact that the Pueblo County team is the only high school hockey team in Pueblo.

The team is senior-heavy this year with ten graduating seniors. The senior-heavy team is poised to make the playoffs this season.
“Don’t take it for granted, any chance you get do whatever you can to make it the best,” said Senior Captain, Garret O’Brien.
