“I hope that it shows youth that they have a place in football, that girls growing up can actually play a game that they love,” said Blaze owner Wyn Flato. “It doesn’t have to stop in high school. You have a place, you know?”
The Blaze is a semi-pro women’s tackle football team that plays its games in Aurora, which has been called the Blaze since 2013 and has grown from fewer than 20 players to more than 40 this year. They were featured in one of Denver7's promotions videos previously.
Another champion in Denver: Meet the Women's Football Alliance national champs, the Mile High Blaze The Blaze beat the Derby City Dynamite 21-20 to claim the team’s first ever championship. As the Blaze try to get the attention of the Broncos, whom they modeled their colors after Flato says she hopes girls and other young women take notice of the championship so they too can fulfill their dreams of playing tackle football.
