Junior hockey travels lead Colorado Springs’ Peck to BCHL with eye on college hockey future

 

Devin Peck has played in several junior hockey leagues the past few seasons, landing in the SJHL and BCHL for the 2025-26 season.

The Colorado Springs native began this season with the Flin Flon Bombers in Saskatchewan before being traded to the Powell River Kings in British Columbia.

“Devin has had great success everywhere he has played.” said Powell River coach-GM Stephan Seeger Jr. “He battles, competes, and has the type of athleticism that is engaging for fans to watch on second and third opportunities.”

Peck said he’s relished his junior hockey days, which included time in the NA3HL and with the NCDCs Pueblo Bulls, and wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Over the years playing junior hockey, I feel I have mostly improved my mental game and really just being able to adjust to different styles of play, like fast, skilled teams or hard and heavy teams,” Peck said. “My experience playing in Canada has been nothing but great. Starting in Flin Flon was an unreal experience, from the fan base to the billets and the whole town. We were super close as a group and I’m grateful to have those new brothers for the rest of my life. I was excited for the move to Powell River, which has been a new experience and challenge that has definitely helped me as a player and person already.

“The biggest positives in my junior hockey journey have really been the lessons and challenges that I’ve learned and had to deal with. Even more important have been all of the great guys I have been able to play with over the last three years.”

With just a couple weeks left in the regular season, Peck has high expectations for the Kings, a team that has been eliminated from playoff contention.

“I’m really just excited to play with this new group of guys and continue to embrace this new experience in front of me,” said Peck. “I’ll be really excited to see what this group can do down the stretch.”

Growing up, Peck took to hockey at a young age and hasn’t looked back.

“I grew up watching the Colorado Avalanche and the Air Force Academy hockey teams and loved going to games,” Peck said. “I remember when I was about five or six, my dad came home from work one day and asked me if I wanted to play hockey. As a kid, I was always super active, so any sport for me was a no-brainer. I started off with skating lessons, then after that moved to full-on ice hockey, playing for the Jr. Falcons at the Air Force Academy and I loved it. After that first practice, I think I was pretty hooked to say the least.

When he was 12, Peck and his parents decided to make the move to the Colorado Springs Tigers.

“I played my second-year Pee Wee and my first-year Bantam there and then decided to make the jump to AAA when the Tigers started their first-ever 14 AAA team,” remembered Peck. “I also played my 15U AAA season there before moving to the Colorado Rampage. I played my 16s and first-year 18s with the Rampage and really grew on and off the ice over those two seasons. During my time at the Rampage, I was able to experience some outstanding coaches that definitely made an impact on me as a player and as a person. My head coach for 16s was Pat Bingham and my head coach for 18s was Brett Clark. Both were great coaches, and while we had some ups and downs, they both made a lasting impact on my hockey career which included a trip to nationals in 2023.”

Looking ahead to what 2026-27 may bring, Peck said he’s “still working on a plan to play college hockey next season, really just trying to vary all my options and find the best spot for me.”
