Support Spokane Youth Hockey

The Spokane Americans Youth Hockey Association (SAYHA) is a charitable non-profit organization as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)3. Since 1959, the Spokane Americans Youth Hockey Association (SAYHA) has been committed to the athletic and character development of youth hockey players. We are dedicated to individually developing our youth as hockey players while promoting leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, and respect as we strive for excellence both on and off the ice.

The Spokane Jr. Chiefs practice and play home games at Eagles Ice Arena, and we are proud members of the Pacific Northwest Amateur Hockey Association (PNAHA) and the West Kootenay Minor Hockey Association (WKMHA) in S.E. British Columbia. This year the 16UAA team will also be participating in the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA) which will provide the appropriate and highest competition available. Our programming provides youth hockey players with the opportunity to learn not only specialized skills associated with the game of hockey, but also the ideals of good sportsmanship, fair play, hard work, discipline, and teamwork.

This past season, we saw many of our teams conclude successful seasons in both leagues, with many State Festival and Championship wins. The 14U-A1 team competed at the highest level in the USA Hockey Tier II National Championships in Kalamazoo, MI. We anticipate another great Spokane Jr. Chiefs season in 2022-23!

Ice hockey is a very expensive sport: equipment, ice rental, referee fees, tournament and travel expenses are a huge financial commitment from youth hockey families to play our great sport. To keep our fees low, a considerable amount of team and Association fundraising opportunities are conducted each year, along with generous support from our community. With your help, our program can grow and benefit more youth players pursuing their dreams.

We are looking forward to our 2022-23 season, again offering a Learn to Play for those just starting out, up to the highest level of our National Bound teams at 16U. We are proud of our programming and our Spokane Jr. Chiefs players, coaches, and parents. We thank you in advance for your consideration of our Spokane Jr. Chiefs players, teams, programs, and tournaments when making your donations each year.

All donations to Spokane Youth Hockey are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
