As the world of professional pickleball grows, Steamboat Springs will have a prominent place in the history books as two couples from the ski town purchased one of the original teams in the National Pickleball League, which is debuting this year. 

Steamboat residents Chris and Amanda Montgomery and Mario and Jen Boschi have purchased the Denver Iconics, which is the third team announced in the league that will have six total teams in its first year. The other two teams revealed so far are based in Florida.
