A Brief History

Reports of a Central Hockey League team playing at the Coliseum for 2012-13 came as early as February. Initial reports stated they would be named the Denver Grizzlies, after the city's most recent International Hockey League franchise that won the Turner Cup in its only season. The Cutthroats served as a farm team of the National Hockey League's Colorado Avalanche and the American Hockey League's Lake Erie Monsters. On August 20, 2014, after only two seasons in the CHL, the Cutthroats announced they would go dormant for the 2014–15 season, with hopes to gain additional investors for 2015–16. This never happened as the Central Hockey League folded several weeks later.
