Youth Hockey Coach Arrested for Child Sex Crimes; Detectives Seek Additional Victims
On June 4, 2026, detectives with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Special Victims Unit arrested 40-year-old Rory Nathaniel Mushlin following a tip he was engaged in inappropriate behavior with minors.
Mushlin, a resident of Colorado Springs, is being held on suspicion of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, unlawful electronic sexual communication – person of trust, obscenity, and internet sexual exploitation of a child. He was taken into custody without incident.
Since January 2023, Mushlin served as a local youth hockey coach at South Suburban Sports Complex in Highlands Ranch. Investigators learned the team Mushlin coached also practiced at the Parker Field House and the Family Sports Center in Arapahoe County.
Douglas County detectives have identified multiple underage victims. Because of the suspect's coaching position and regular interaction with youth sports programs, investigators are working to ensure all potential victims are identified and provided with support.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is actively encouraging anyone with information, or parents who believe their child may have had contact with the suspect under concerning circumstances, to reach out to Detective Clay at [email protected].
Mushlin was transported to the Douglas County Detention Facility. A judge set his bond at $75,000.
All charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty in a court of law.
This is still an open and active investigation. No additional information will be released at this time.

@bankaikokug0 That's it...America should send ALL our retired police and military dogs to live in NYC. That insane fence pole digger would be useless without a hand.
The NAHL is poised to absorb the NCDC Mountain Division, shifting the Western Tier II landscape. Billings flips to the NAHL, Pueblo takes the Chippewa charter, and Ogden/Utah reunite with El Paso. Meanwhile, Rochester goes dormant for 26-27. Full story

Just heard the news on #ClaudeLemieux
This is extremely sad no matter what feelings from past or present you hold. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends and people who got to see the person off the ice wasn’t the person on. As I’ve said and will always call it as I see it
“If your on the ICE with Claude Lemieux and your turn your back. YOU Are an IDIOT.
But off the ICE I’ll turn mine”
And please. If you are struggling at all please reach out and talk to someone
Godspeed my friend
@DebraDa13308871@DemocraticWins@Kamalas_Wins You know that was a political hit job, nothing more. Stop lying to yourself and stop crying when conservatives turn that weaponization on to you.
@Geniustechw Birth control? Tried that. Abortion clinics? That turned into a political agenda. Guns? They do just eliminate each other. That’s it, more guns.
🚨 This is EXACTLY WHY ICE agents are FORCED to wear masks
ICE Newark rioter: “I HAVE YOUR FACE, MOTHERF***ER”
“Your WHOLE F***ING FAMILY is DEAD!”
“Your KIDS. Your WIFE. ALL DEAD!”
This is the type of TERRORISM Democrats WANT ICE agents to face by de-masking them
@Chasenpucks39 KC, we are getting to that age, I will be 60 in August. Friend, older and younger, are dropping like flies. Just be thankful we get another day, month, or year. I try to stay in contact with the core group, but time flies by too quickly.
