Philosophy

The philosophy and goal of MAHA is to provide a viable Youth Hockey Program, and to help the kids involved grow and mature into better adults by participating in a program that promotes team effort, sportsmanship, competition, and quality adult leadership. To accomplish this, the Association provides an Initiation Program, a recreational league (Tier III, Tier IV), and a competition league (Tier I, Tier II). MAHA will not discriminate against anyone who wishes to participate in this Association.
