Spokane jr Chiefs | Support SAYHA
Sponsorship
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, our teams will also be participating in the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA) which will provide the highest competition available in our region.
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.
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 sponsors. With your help, our program can grow and benefit more youth players pursuing their dreams.
We are looking forward to our 2024-25 season, again offering a Learn to Play for those just starting out, up to the highest level of our National Bound and Zone Tier 1 teams. We are proud of our programming and our Spokane Jr. Chiefs players, coaches, and parents. We look forward to working with your organization and thank you in advance for your sponsorship consideration of our Spokane Jr. Chiefs players, teams, programs, and tournaments. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Sincerely,
Grant Barnes, Community Development Director
Spokane Youth Hockey

In the summer of 2014, Grant Barnes received a cider-making kit instead of the beer-making kit he had requested for Father's Day. Little did he know that this unexpected twist would ignite a journey toward crafting some of the boldest and most flavorful ciders.
Thus, One Tree Hard Cider was born, starting in a humble garage. Fueled by newfound knowledge and unwavering passion, Grant aimed to create ciders that would not only satisfy but leave an indelible mark.
A pivotal moment arrived with Spokane-based wholesale distributor, Click Distributing. Recognizing the uniqueness of One Tree's offerings, Click Distributing propelled their growth.
Over time, One Tree Cider grew, evolving from an accidental venture into a beloved brand. Their secret? A commitment to quality and using real fruit to craft distinct ciders. Each batch transformed simple ingredients into flavorful creations that captivated the senses.
One Tree Hard Cider's expansion extends beyond its flagship brand, encompassing a Cider House showcasing a full range of One Tree's Ciders on tap. Learn more at OneTreeCider.com.

Sponsorship levels
Association, Team and Player Sponsorships
Sponsors at any of the levels below will support Spokane Youth Hockey at an Association level, offsetting costs to all players in the Association's different programs and tournaments.
We also offer Team Sponsorships and Individual Player Sponsorships.
Finder's Credit
Many of our Spokane Youth Hockey families are already generous sponsors of their player's team. We also know that many in our hockey community have great business contacts in Spokane and beyond. While the overall sponsorships help the Association and the team, we'd like to offer each member who brings a new sponsorship to Spokane Youth Hockey a 10% "finder's fee" which will be credited to your individual player's account upon the successful processing of the new sponsorship! For example, with a Gold Level Sponsorship (with your name credited), your player will receive a $100 credit. This is a great way to earn money off of your player's season fees, while still helping out your team and the Association!
