History
In January 2023, the NAHL approved the Colorado Grit as an expansion franchise.[1] The Grit's initial ownership group was the same one that ran the Northern Colorado Eagles (a Tier III junior team). The Northern Colorado Eagles ceased operations after the 2022-23 season and transitioned fully to the Colorado Grit.[2] In May of 2025, after losing access to their home arena, the NAHL agreed to grant the Colorado Grit inactive status for the 2025–26 season.[3]
