COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A nonprofit wounded veterans hockey team from Colorado Springs was invited to the National Hockey League (NHL) Stadium Series last month.

The Colorado Warriors were one of four all-veteran hockey teams who were selected from the 200 teams that applied. The Warriors were back at Ed Robson Arena this week to take on the Pikes Peak Defenders.

Between the Warriors different teams, they have racked up four championships and two runner-up finishes over the last two seasons.
