About DCBH

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 giving everyone a chance to play without throwing on skates.
