We would like to thank all of our NMAHA families, players, team managers, coaches and Board members for a wonderful 2022-2023 Season!
We saw growth & development at all levels and as an organization overall this season. There's still room to grow and build this summer before the 2023-24 Season begins in October!
We hope you were able to attend our Annual Membership Meeting on Saturday, April 8th. Results are posted below for the 2023-2024 Board to start preparing for the next season at the May 9th Board Meeting.
More details below, but so far for Spring/Summer Clinics that have been announced:
Additional tentative Summer plans*:
* Some of these activities are pending approval of the NEW board.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS - AND HAVE YOUR PLAYER TELL THEIR FRIENDS!

Please bring a bicycle helmet and winter gloves (not mittens) as the starting point - some gear will be available along with sticks too.
Target Ages: 4 to 9 (but up to age 15 accepted...)
Saturday, July 15th
Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early by (12:30pm at the MAC).

The Givebutter option to donate to a specific NMAHA team division (Mini-Mites (6U), Mites (8U), Squirts (10U), Peewees (12U), Bantams (14U), & High School) will be back at the start of the 2023-24 Season in September/October.
You can still make donations directly to NMAHA overall this summer. The best part is 100% of your donation goes to NMAHA (any processing fees if applicable based on your payment method are separate from your donation amount).
Click the logo below to make a GENERAL donation to support NMAHA overall - to be used as-needed for operational costs, tournament costs, ice costs, etc.
NMAHA will host four (4) age-split Stick & Puck games in June at The MAC. Essentially these will be "scrimmages" and a chance to just let the kids get on the ice & play - with limited coaching unless requested.
The age-specific groups will be 10 & Under (down to age 5) and 11 and older (up to age 15) to keep the level of play "mostly" even. Each age-specific group will have two events, alternating on Mondays from 6:15pm to 7:15pm.
There will be at least one NMAHA coach on the ice per session to manage the "game" (help sort teams, split the ice if-needed, manage puck drops, enforce the USA Hockey Code of Conduct, etc.).
Who: Current NMAHA players registered with USA Hockey ages 5 to 15 split at Squirts & below (10 & under), and Peewees & above (11 & older). Exceptions can be made for more-experienced younger players to play up on a case-by-case basis.
When: Mondays in June 2023, 6:15-7:15pm
* Age will be determined the same way it is during the season: based on the age of the player on December 31st of this year (2023).
Cost: $15/player per session - payable via the NMAHA Venmo account or directly to our NMAHA Treasurer (check/cash) if Venmo is not desired.
