Christmas spirit
If you have not gotten your Christmas tree yet, I highly recommend going to Mr. Christmas at Clark’s Market. Very kind and friendly service. They helped me find the perfect tree for me and they delivered and set it up the same day. During these trying times, we all need a bit of kindness. Kindness is a gift we all appreciate.
Merry Christmas,

On behalf of the Glenwood Springs Youth Hockey Association, I would like to express our deep gratitude to the various youth hockey clubs of the Western Colorado Hockey League who graciously helped us continue our youth programming during the four-week shutdown of our ice rink after a serious refrigeration system failure on Nov. 14.
The member clubs and their local facilities generously provided us with ice time where it was available and co-programming with their athletes and coaches.
Specifically, we want to thank: Grand Junction River Hawks, Jackson Wilson, director; Vail Mountaineer Hockey Club, Dave Bishop, director; Aspen Junior Hockey Club: Harlan Pratt, director; Summit Hockey: Chris Miller, director; Colorado Extreme (Independent): Sheldon Wolitski, director.
Thankfully, our ice rink is back up and running. We are humble and thankful to be a part of the wonderful hockey community on the western slope of Colorado. Happy Holidays!
Hamilton Tharp
President, Glenwood Springs Youth Hockey Association
