The High Plains season rolls on with many teams taking to the ice for the first time this weekend, as we take a look at the top five games this week with the spring season getting into full swing

Top Five High Plains Games of the Week: March 29-31

As we get into the third weekend of the 2019 High Plains Hockey League, we explore some of the top matchups of the week with many teams taking to the ice for the first time this spring.  As the temperatures rise outside, we continue to keep it cool at the rinks of Colorado, with 25 High Plains games taking place throughout the state this week.

     Without further ado, here are your top five HPHL games of the week:

Chaparral vs. Cherokee Trail Tier II

     The defending Tier I champions Chaparral return to the High Plains scene with another potent lineup for this spring, though this season they will be playing at the Tier II level.  All state performers Alex Harlan (14 G, 23 A, 37 PTS stats during CHSAA) and Dylan Florit (18 G, 19 A, 37 PTS) lead Chap in their 2019 opener against a Cherokee Trail squad that finished third in Tier II last season (8-4) and are led by all state honorable mention talents Hunter Fieweger (11 G, 8A, 19 PTS) of Cherry Creek and Luke Dosen (11 G, 16 A, 27 PTS) from Regis Jesuit.

Mountain Vista vs. Cherry Creek Tier I


#30 Seamus Porter will help hold it down in-between the pipes for Mountain Vista Tier I during the HPHL season.

Girls Mountain Militia vs. Polar Bears

     The ladies get things cooking as well this upcoming weekend, with the girls Mountain Militia and the Polar Bears taking to the ice at Family Sports on Saturday for the first time this HPHL season.  Look for Militia's returning leading scorer from last season Paige Schlegal (3 G, 8 A, 11 PTS) and Aspen goaltender Sami Jaworski to lead the charge for MM as they hope to return to the HPHL girls title game in back to back seasons.


Mountain Militia Girl's goaltender Sami Jaworski make a glove save for Aspen in the Rocky Mountain District Tier II Girls Championship.

WLTV vs. Ponderosa Tier III

Rocky Hockey vs. Chaparral Tier IV

     The defending HPHL Tier IV champions Rocky hockey faces off with Chaparral Tier IV at the Ice Ranch on Saturday afternoon.  Look for leading returning scorer Kevin Arndt (13 G, 8 A, 21 PTS last season) and goalie Sam Simon (10-0, 1.57 GAA, .940 SV% last season) to lead Rocky, while Tallyn Wilkinson (8 G, 3 A, 11 PTS last season) will spearhead the attack for Chaparral.


Rocky Hockey attempts to repeat as High Plains Tier IV champions this season, starting this weekend with a matchup against Chaparral Tier IV.
