2024-25 12U Rep Announcement
Spokane Youth Hockey is steadfastly committed to programming that is competitive, intense, engaging, and ambitious, developing our youth hockey players as athletes and outstanding members of our community. As a regional youth hockey leader for 65 years, Spokane Youth Hockey remains committed to being an innovative leader in our region. We are focused on consistently improving upon that which we do best: producing competitive and successful teams composed of highly skilled, aspiring players.
During the 2023-24 season, our 12U Rep teams found success at regional and state tournaments, and across the border in our Canadian leagues. As we look to the 2024-25 season, we are excited about the opportunities ahead for our 12U players. With the border so close, our teams have near-local access to excellent gameplay with Canadian teams, along with opportunities to play in our PNAHA state league.
As a member of the West Kootenay Minor Hockey Association (WKMHA), Spokane Youth Hockey offers opportunities for our 12U players to play in that league, along with the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA). Our 12UB team will compete in the WKMHA league, and our 12UA team will again represent Spokane in OMAHA. Teams may also elect to travel to regional US and Canadian tournaments.
We have found continued success through our full-time, weekly practice model, optimizing schedules and opportunities for player development without creating overblown budgets, instead choosing to keep the cost to families affordable through fundraising and sponsorship opportunities.
In addition to 3 weekly practices, powerskating, and skills instruction, our 12U players have access to a free weekly goaltending clinic and additional skating and skill work opportunities with our SAYHA coaches. We are planning for 40-50 games, league tournaments, regional tournaments, and a 12U Fall Brawl Jamboree.
Spokane Youth Hockey is proud to welcome Eric Jordan as our 12UA Head Coach this season!
