CEIHF PLAYER RECRUITMENT & DEVELOPMENT
A constant process for development and nurturing of prospective amateur and elite players. Through a vigilant introduction and recruitment the CEIHL will attempt to introduce the best talent to the program.

FOLLOWING THE MISSION
The Colorado Elite Inline Hockey Federation commits to building a structure that will develop the amateur and elite inline hockey environment for successful integration to the Rocky Mountain Region of the AIHL (American Inline Hockey League).

CEIHF TEAM PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
The objective of the CEIHF create a non-profit organizational structure and proposed format to ensure consistency, stability, accountability and assurance of equity throughout its local Colorado program. The Colorado Elite Inline Hockey Federation (CEIHF) will ensure that all teams within the Rocky Mountain Region are consistently in compliance with all AIHL league rules and accountabilities both administratively and financially.

This process will also make certain of all standards and accountabilities are maintained for ALL its members through a parliamentary process that will avoid any possibility of unfair treatment or impartiality of its players or organization members. The CEIHF structure will allow for a fair process for player movement from one regional elite team to another when necessary while, preventing any inequitable positioning of player(s) that may cause any disproportion of the league product resulting in FAN disappointment and diminishing support.

CEIHF COMMUNITY SERVICES
The CEIHF donation drive benefits the program's elementary school Buddy Up With Hockey initiatives and Hockey Without Boundaries camp and clinic programs, equipment drive programs, and its elite Player community service programs for Colorado youth.

Working together with Colorado 's business community to create a broad-scale invitation to new inline hockey families, easing the beginner process. CEIHF's mission is to increase inline hockey through out the Colorado Front Range and North America , while targeting four- to eight-year-old boys and girls.
