February 1, 2006 - Continental Basketball Association 1 (CBA 1) News Release


Broomfield, CO (February 1, 2006) - Beginning this fall, the Broomfield Event Center will showcase a new kind of hockey and basketball. The Rocky Mountain Rage hockey team and the Colorado 14ers basketball team were unveiled today at a standing-room-only name and logo release party at C.B. & Potts Restaurant and Brewery at Flatirons.

"This is exciting for our season ticket holders, fans, our business partners and the city" said John Frew, co-owner. "Selecting names for both teams started with a list of over 300 names and took months of collaboration. The Rocky Mountain Rage and the Colorado 14ers are both unique to Colorado and both capture the intensity of their respective sports. We are pleased with these names and we think that hockey and basketball fans will like what we've chosen."

Adrenalin, Inc., regarded as one of the top branding, marketing and design agencies in the nation, designed both teams' logos and jerseys. Adrenalin, founded in 1997, specializes in supporting the brand-expansion goals of sports organizations around the world.

"We are thrilled to have the Colorado 14ers join the CBA family," said Hunter. "I, along with the CBA Board of Directors, have been impressed with the 14ers management and their dedication to doing things first-class from day one. The ownership, facility and location are a great addition to the league."

Master of Ceremonies and ESPN commentator Kurt Hansen joined Broomfield Mayor Karen Stuart, team co-owners Frew and Tim Wiens, Central Hockey League (CHL) President Brad Treliving and Continental Basketball Association (CBA) Commissioner Gary Hunter for the team presentations. Price and Adrenalin Vice President Dave Smrek rounded out the list of speakers.

Following the team announcements, Treliving and Hunter presented the first official team jerseys to each team's first season ticket holder. Tonya Haas, Broomfield's Assistant City and County Manager, was recognized as the hockey team's first fan. Littleton resident Garrett Baum, who is also a season ticket holder for the Rage, was recognized as the basketball team's first fan.

Colorado 14ers - Basketball at its Peak.

"Colorado has 54 mountains that loom above 14,000 feet. Nowhere on earth does such a dominating collection of peaks exist. As a tribute to these natural wonders, we introduce the Colorado 14ers, the majestic newcomer on the CBA professional basketball landscape. This is basketball that others look up to; it's higher than the rest. Untouchable and unreachable for most, it's awe-inspiring and will take your breath away."
