Logan Flay was born in Camarillo, Calif., and moved to Colorado at the age of four, calling Aurora home ever since.

Once he strapped on the skates in Colorado, he played for the Littleton Hawks through his freshman year of high school before joining the Cherry Creek High School team the last three seasons.

Now, all of Flay’s hard work and determination has paid off as he’ll make the jump to junior hockey this fall with the EHL’s Boston Jr. Rangers.

“The opportunity came up the last weekend in May with the CCM Showcase that came into town,” Flay said. “It is a heavily scouted showcase. I originally wasn’t going to play juniors next year, but when Coach (Rich) DiCaprio said he would give me a contract, they shot right to the top of my list. After talking things over with my parents, I got the green light to sign my contract with them. It will be very exciting to leave home, but also very tough because I am leaving my family for a year and everything I am used to here. Looking at it as an opportunity, I am very excited to play a high level of hockey and get new types of exposure in the hockey sense of things.

“I am very excited to play in the EHL, a league that sends a hefty amount of players on to play NCAA hockey each year. That is definitely something that appealed to me right away.”

In reflecting on his time playing and developing in Colorado, Flay beamed with pride.

“I couldn’t tell you a bad thing about each organization (Littleton and Cherry Creek),” said Flay. “They’ve both done such great things for me and helping me excel to the next level.”

Moving forward, Flay has his mind on hockey and away from the game.

“My goals in hockey are to try and develop as much as I can in the game and prove that I can go play NCAA hockey later on,” Flay said. “Looking at my long-term goals in life, I want to make a living out of project management and business.”
