Magness Arena, Denver University [November 25, 2024] - The Boulder Hockey Club 12AA team has earned a spot in the prestigious 65th Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament, set for February 2025, after an exciting victory in the Avalanche International Qualifier. The Riders, undefeated in pool play and a semi-final victory over Arvada, mounted an incredible comback to defeat the Littleton Hawks in a nail-biting championship final on Monday night. Overcoming a two goal deficit twice - the Riders dug deep, never gave up, and with their goaltender pulled, scored twice in the last 1:53 to tie the game at 4 sending the match into a tense 4v4 overtime. At 3:45 of the second OT, with Riders’ forward Sieger Gilhooly being taken down while charging the net, he managed to net the game-winning goal, sealing the victory for Boulder and sending the team to Quebec! The Riders will represent Colorado Hockey as the Junior Avalanche in February. Congrats 12AA!!!!!
