Just Another Day!
We hosted an epic NCDC Showcase at River City Sportplex featuring the Idaho Falls Spud Kings and Rock Springs Grizzlies Feb 8-9, 2025
Two high-energy games lit up the River Hawks’ home ice, giving the Grand Valley a taste of the top-tier talent heading our way.
Even more exciting? The current Dineen Cup champions hit the ice right here in our barn!
We’ve got more clips coming your way, but for now—check out some highlights from the Spud Kings and relive the action!

An article from The Junior Hockey News ranks the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC) as one of the top Tier II junior hockey leagues in North America — and the Grand Junction River Hawks are proud to compete in it.

This isn’t just junior hockey — this is elite-level competition featuring players bound for NCAA programs:
45 NCAA Division I commitments
113 NCAA Division II & III commitments
A league known for developing top-tier talent — and giving younger players a real shot to shine. Limited 20-year-old roster spots = more opportunity for younger players to shine.
Now adding 3 elite NCAA D3-feeder teams from the EHL, further boosting commitment potential
When you come to a River Hawks game, you’re not just enjoying a night out —
You’re watching future college hockey stars take the ice.
