why Choose 279 Lab?
Here at 279 Lab we provide Pueblo Youth players the opportunity to travel across the USA and internationally to play hockey. This experience will allow them to connect with players from diverse backgrounds, gaining valuable skills and experiences that extend beyond the rink. These include the following:
-
personal growth
-
time management
-
communication
-
independence
These are just a few qualities essential for success in both hockey and life. We are committed to mentoring and guiding these players, helping them navigate their journey toward achieving their hockey aspirations. Ultimately, our vision is to see a Pueblo Youth player one day representing their junior team and hometown at the highest levels.
Our camp is dedicated to providing athletes with a solid foundation in fundamental skills, focusing on progressing toward more specialized abilities. Skating serves as the core element of our instruction, as all skills are built upon a foundation of proficient skating and body control.
Shooting and stickhandling are integrated within our skating curriculum to ensure a seamless connection between these skills. Furthermore, the techniques and drills taught will have a lasting impact on the athletes, extending well beyond the duration of the camp.
Our primary focus is on skill correction and fostering an environment that encourages athletes to step outside of their comfort zones and continuously improve.


I have been having the pleasure of doing 1:1 lessons and clinics in Pueblo for the past two years. I started playing roller hockey at a young age, but at 11, I transitioned to ice hockey. At 14, I moved to northern Italy to play for an academy, where I spent two seasons developing my skills. At 16, I moved to the United States and played two years of U18 AAA hockey for the Northeast Generals (MA). During that time, I grew both on and off-ice, building confidence and character. At 18, I began my junior hockey career in the USPHL Premier with Elmira. In November, I was traded to Pueblo for the season. At first, it was a shock since I had never been to that part of the country, but over time, I became part of the community. Even now, I still feel a strong connection to the town and the people there.

Hi! My name is Scott Bugarin, I've been serving the Pueblo area as a coach for the last two years, running clinics and camps during the summer. I grew up in Southern California, and like Frankie began playing hockey on the roller rink. I traveled across Riverside, Orange, and LA counties, playing for A and AA youth teams throughout my childhood. At 16, I left for Maine to play AAA for the first time. Since then, I've traveled and lived in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Utah, and finally, Colorado, while playing hockey. Joining the Bulls, I was determined to make NCAA hockey, and they helped me achieve that dream while being a leader. Being the captain of the Bulls was an absolute honor. My responsibilities in this role revealed my joy in coaching and love for the city.
