The Rampage organization is on a mission to enrich the lives of our athletes through the sport of hockey. Preparing athletes for their next step in hockey, as well as their next step in life outside the rink, will continue to be our steadfast mission for our members and athletes.
Rampage Hockey is proud to congratulate our athletes who have earned spots at the prestigious Rocky Mountain District Camp and Multi-District Camp at Colorado College. Their dedication, skill, and commitment to excellence have set them apart, and we couldn’t be prouder of their achievements!
These camps provide an incredible opportunity for elite players to develop their skills, compete at a high level, and gain exposure to top coaches and scouts. Advancing to these camps is a testament to the hard work our athletes put in every day, both on and off the ice.
We wish all our Rampage athletes the best of luck as they compete at these high-level camps! Keep pushing forward and trusting the process.
We are thrilled to celebrate Cooper Briggs, recognized as one of the mentorship camp that gathers the top 100 players in the world for the 2012 birth year! Cooper has earned an invitation to the prestigious Hockey Etcetera camp, which unites the top 50 U.S. and 50 Canadian players in this age group for an unmatched opportunity to train and compete.
This elite camp takes place at Hockey Etcetera, a world-class facility in Montréal dedicated to providing premier training for athletes. The complex offers cutting-edge resources to help players reach their full potential, making it the perfect environment for this high-level event.
Cooper has played for the Colorado Rampage since he began his hockey career at just six years old, demonstrating unwavering dedication and relentless determination to improve. His hard work and commitment have been inspiring to everyone in our program.
Andrew Sherman, Owner and Founder of the Colorado Rampage and Monument Ice Rinks, shared his pride in Cooper’s achievements:
“Cooper’s journey has been nothing short of exceptional. His passion for the game, dedication to constant improvement, and ability to compete at the highest level are a testament to his character and work ethic. We are incredibly proud of all that he has accomplished and can’t wait to see what he achieves in this amazing opportunity.”
The camp is generously supported by the Saputo family, founders of Saputo Inc., a global leader in dairy processing. Their inspiring journey began in 1954 in Montréal and has grown into an enterprise that reflects excellence and commitment to community, including their support of youth hockey.
We couldn’t be more proud of Cooper for this remarkable achievement and look forward to seeing him excel in this unparalleled experience!
Colorado Rampage alumnus Clayton Cosentino has been named one of the captains of the Air Force Academy hockey team for the 2024/25 season. Head coach Frank Serratore announced that Cosentino, a senior, will share captain duties with fellow senior Austin Schwartz, while juniors Mason McCormick and Holt Oliphant will serve as assistant captains.

From Parker, CO Jared grew up playing for the Colorado Rampage. He played his first AAA season at the age of 14 when he made the 16U team. Played 2 seasons at 16U before being selected to play for the National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he won a gold medal in the U18 world championship. He was drafted by the Arizona Coyotes in 2014 and continued on to play 119 games for Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, serving as assistant captain his senior year. Upon graduation he played a year of pro hockey for the Manchester Monarchs in the ECHL tallying 15 point in 16 games. A knee injury sustained ended his journey playing the game, but soon after returned to the Colorado Rampage to be involved in player development of all ages and skill set. Following a year of coaching he moved to Florida to start his own construction company. He returned to coaching in 2023-24 season for the Seattle Jr Kraken, head coaching a 18U AAA team and winning a NAPHL championship. He looks forward to returning to his grassroots and helping the next generation develop on and off the ice.
I grew up in Denver and played youth hockey for the Littleton Hawks, Colorado T-Birds, and Colorado Rampage, winning numerous state and regional titles along the way. However, I was never a top player as a kid and was the last player cut three years in a row when I was a Pee Wee and Bantam. This fueled my passion for competition and improvement from an early age. I vowed never to be outworked or outcompeted. At 15, I switched to forward and was later drafted as a late pick in the USHL draft after playing for the Rampage.
I played three years in the USHL from 2009 to 2012, where I won two Anderson Cups and two Clark Cups and served as assistant captain and captain. I was also a two-time winner of the Unsung Hero award.
After that, I played at the University of Denver (DU), where I was a part of the 2014 Conference Champions and a four-time tournament team participant, reaching the 2016 Frozen Four. I served as a two-time captain in my junior and senior years, becoming the only player in the last 70 years at DU to hold this honor. I was a three-time winner of the Most Inspirational award and received the 2016 Comeback Athlete of the Year and Strength and Conditioning awards.
My professional hockey career included playing in the ECHL for the Quad City Mallards during the 2016-2017 season, where I was named assistant captain halfway through my rookie season. I then served as an assistant coach for the Green Bay Gamblers from 2017 to 2018 and played in the ECHL in Florida during the 2018-2019 season.
I owe much of my success to Coach Sherman and the Rampage organization. Returning to coach where it all began is incredibly special to me. Throughout my hockey career, I surpassed many expectations by focusing on hard work and being a good teammate. For me, it's all about teamwork, continuous improvement, and actively listening to coaching. The ability to listen and implement feedback is a rare skill with endless room for growth. A quote that resonated with me during my playing days was "Respect All, Fear None." I look forward to sharing my skills and knowledge with our hockey athletes. #GoRampage
One year ago, Rampage forward Cody Paul was completing an unprecedented season as a 2011 birth-year playing 13O AAA hockey in the Tier-1 Elite League. Looking forward to improving on his rookie Tier-1 campaign, he suffered a crushing blow over the summer learning of a new USA Hockey rule that disqualified him from returning to his 13O team. Relegated back to 12U hockey without competitive game opportunities in Colorado, Cody turned his focus to skill development practicing with Rampage Tier-1 teams and off-ice training. Remaining patient and positive, the opportunity of a lifetime came knocking. From February 7-18, Cody Paul competed in the most prestigious Pewee tournament in world, the Quebec International Hockey Tournament. Skating with the Ohio Blue Jackets 12U AAA team, he played games against the Boston Advantage, LA Jr. Kings, Middlesex Islanders, Boston Jr. Terriers, Japan Selects, and Suisse Romande Beliers.
John Burkart, an NHL scout with the Tampa Bay Lightning and close friend of the Colorado Rampage, had a history of drafting several Rampage players for years working in the USHL. Burkart played a key role helping Cody and the Rampage navigate through the season challenges and find creative solutions for his competitive development. His journey to Quebec was made possible through the strong relationships the Rampage have cultivated with the Ohio Blue Jackets AAA program and their long-time President Ed Gingher. Despite the setback in Colorado, Cody's determination and the Rampage's commitment to their athletes led to a creative solution that allowed him to pursue his dreams on an international stage. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of fostering positive connections within the sports community and the unwavering support that Rampage provides to its athletes. Cody's success in Quebec serves as a testament to the power of teamwork, perseverance and patience.
“The same way the Rampage has provided opportunities for players from under-served markets outside of Colorado for over 20 years, to help facilitate a Rampage player being underserved in Colorado an opportunity to pursue his dreams was very rewarding. -Pat Bingham, Rampage President"
