The San Luis Valley Youth Hockey Association (SLVYHA) was founded to support young athletes in the San Luis Valley who have outgrown the City of Alamosa Parks and Recreation hockey program and wish to continue playing organized ice hockey. For decades, ice hockey has been a part of our community’s culture, with locals skating on frozen ponds and reservoirs. In March 2010, a passionate group of hockey enthusiasts came together to form SLVYHA, aiming to provide a safe, organized, and competitive environment for youth ages 13 to 19—those beyond the age range of the City’s youth program, which is limited to ages 5 to 14.
SLVYHA is completely volunteer-driven. We are committed to keeping player costs as low as possible, especially given our community’s economic challenges. Thanks to the City’s support in providing affordable ice time, along with generous contributions from community sponsors and dedicated player fundraising efforts, we can significantly offset costs.
The mission of SLVYHA is to provide youth in our area with competitive opportunities to experience the great game of ice hockey. We aim to create a program where every participant can enjoy a positive, character-building experience that fosters a lifelong passion for the sport.
We emphasize education, personal growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship as core values. We hold board members, coaches, players, and parents to high standards of conduct, cultivating a positive culture that honors the sport and represents an organization our community can be proud of.
SLVYHA is dedicated to offering a safe, organized hockey program for the youth of the San Luis Valley. By providing a supportive learning environment, we challenge players to grow in every aspect of the game. As an all-volunteer organization, we remain committed to keeping expenses as low as possible to make hockey accessible for all.
The purpose and objective of SLVYHA is to promote the game of hockey and provide an appealing environment that will enhance mental and physical skills while fostering teamwork, competition and sportsmanship to all players of the San Luis Valley.
