The new junior hockey franchise in Pueblo, formerly the NCDC’s Pueblo Bulls, has been reintroduced as the Pueblo Peppers, a team that will play in the NAHL starting with the 2026-27 season.

A statement from the Pueblo Peppers:

We are excited to officially unveil our new team name, identity, and brand: the Pueblo Peppers.

This rebrand represents more than just a new logo—it reflects the culture, pride, and future of Pueblo. The Pueblo Peppers identity was created to celebrate the community that has supported hockey in Pueblo for generations while embracing a bold vision for the years ahead.

At the heart of the new logo are two of Pueblo’s most recognizable symbols: the Pueblo Pepper and the Pueblo Sun. The Pepper represents the city’s rich agricultural heritage, hardworking spirit, and nationally recognized identity. With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, the Pueblo Sun represents optimism, energy, strength, and a bright future that defines our community.

Together, these elements create a brand that is uniquely Pueblo—one that honors our roots while looking ahead to an exciting new chapter of hockey in our city.

The Pueblo Peppers are more than a team name. They are a celebration of the people, passion, and pride that make Pueblo special. We can’t wait to begin this journey with our fans and continue building the best atmosphere in junior hockey.

Welcome to the next chapter.

Welcome to the Pueblo Peppers.
