About DCBH

Denver Colorado Ball Hockey - Ball hockey in the Rockies.

Denver Colorado Ball Hockey (DCBH) is a ball hockey league in partnership with Parker Fieldhouse and the National Ball Hockey League.

Our goal is to provide an organized, fun, safe, fair, and consistent league for players of all skill levels.

While hockey is a popular sport in Denver, there are no organized ball hockey leagues in the area. DCBH is changing that - we want to grow the sport of ball hockey, and ultimately hockey, by providing everyone an opportunity to participate without the need to throw on skates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about DCBH.

Ball hockey is a fast-paced sport played on foot, similar to ice hockey but with a ball instead of a puck.

Key differences: Played on foot (no skates), uses a ball, no offside or icing rules (except for DCBH's specific icing rules), faster pace with more scoring opportunities.

It's a great way to stay active, develop hockey skills, and be part of a community without needing to skate.

DCBH welcomes players of all skill levels. We have a wide range of players from beginners to experienced hockey players.

Our league is best suited for:

Players familiar with playing hockey
Those who have played in leagues before
Players with foundational understanding of game and positioning
Decent stick skills

If you're new to the game, we encourage you to join! Our community is welcoming and supportive.
