Colorado Fighting Elk Announce Strategic Pause for 2026–27 Season; Organization Plans Return in 2027 Craig, Colo. — The ownership group of the Colorado Fighting Elk today announces that the team will pause operations for the 2026–27 season as part of a strategic initiative focused on facility improvements and long-term organizational growth. The decision is a proactive investment in the future of junior hockey in Craig CO and is centered on strengthening the foundation necessary to support a competitive and sustainable program. The Elk will continue to retain full rights to the Colorado Fighting Elk name, branding, and intellectual property, with full intentions of returning to competition for the 2027 season. The organization’s home venue, Moffat County Ice Arena, remains a valued and vital community asset. However, the arena was not originally constructed to accommodate the evolving demands of junior hockey. Over the next year, ownership and partners will focus on meaningful facility enhancements designed to elevate both player development and fan experience while benefiting the broader community. Planned upgrades include: Sheeting and finishing arena walls Completing and upgrading locker room facilities Adding a full-service snack bar Improving and reconfiguring bleacher seating Additional improvements to enhance overall game-day operations These improvements are intended to support not only junior hockey but also youth programs, public skating, tournaments, and community events. Player & Coaching Transition: All current eligible players will have the opportunity to pursue roster spots within affiliated programs under the organization’s umbrella. Head Coach Jake Tomalak will transition to a sister team — or potentially help lead a new program in Utah — within the Center Ice Group structure. This approach ensures continued development pathways for players and coaching staff during the pause. The strategic pause reflects the organization’s commitment to long-term excellence. By prioritizing infrastructure, operational growth, and facility upgrades, the Colorado Fighting Elk aim to return in 2027 stronger, more competitive, and better positioned for sustained success. The ownership group extends its sincere gratitude to fans, families, sponsors, billet families, volunteers, and community partners for their continued support. Further updates regarding facility improvements and future plans will be shared publicly as progress continues. #coloradofightingelk #ElkStrong #USPHLPremier
