Youth Hockey 

Yakima Amateur
​Hockey Association (YAHA)

    Public Skate Information 
Our youth hockey organization, Yakima Amateur Hockey Association (YAHA) is affiliated with USA Hockey. USA Hockey is the overarching organization which manages most of the ice hockey organizations in the United States. They cover all levels of youth to college as well as men's & women's adult leagues. 

What does this mean for your child?
 
This means that we follow all the guidelines and best practices laid out by USA Hockey and only play other USA Hockey teams. Here are some of the many benefits to this program.
  • Certified Coaches - Every coach on the ice with your child has been through rigorous education and certification.  We have coaches certified all the way from Level 1 - Level 4.
  • Safe Sports requirement and background checks - all of our coaches and helper parents stay up to date with both of these important checks.
  • Practice plans, drills and coaching support for every level of youth hockey.
  • Board Membership, as an organization, in the Pacific Northwest Amateur Hockey Association (PNAHA).
  •  A commitment to a fun and safe learning environment
How does my child get started?If your child has not skated or has not played hockey before, it is best to start with our Learn to Skate and Beginning Hockey program.  Most children are 3 - 9 in this program but we can accommodate any child that wants to get the basic skills before attempting to skate on a team at their current age level.  

Learn to skate/Beginner hockey is on Monday nights 6 pm - 7 pm and is divided into 2 sessions approx 12 weeks each.  The price for both sessions is $225. Rental gear/skates are available for the season.

Once the basic skating and hockey skills are learned in Learn to skate/Beginner hockey, the next step will be to join an age specific team.   The teams play other teams home and away and have practice 2 nights a week.   The coaches will determine when your child is ready to move up to a team.  Depending on the Age group, team players have been playing for awhile so are generally more skilled than 1st year beginners.
The Yakima Amateur Hockey Association is a non-profit organization in charge of the operation of Yakima Ice Rink.  The association is made up of volunteers who serve on a board which governs the skating community here in Yakima,WA.  Board meetings are held once a month on the first Monday of the month and are open to the general public.  The mission of YAHA is to grow the skating community from the youth level on up providing a strong foundation and future for ice sports in the Yakima area.  YAHA is also charged with maintaining and providing a well run, safe environment for recreational enthusiasts, figure skaters, and players alike.  This also entails actively pursuing and researching avenues for development of a new facility for the Yakima Valley.
