LAHA Background:
     Lamoille Area Hockey Association (LAHA) was formed when a group of dedicated parents and volunteers from around Lamoille County came together with a goal of creating a new youth hockey organization that would serve all of Lamoille County. In the past Stowe Youth Hockey was the only option for youth hockey. For many parents living outside Stowe this was not realistic due to travel time and cost, so kids did not get to play.
     LAHA’s goals are to provide youth a chance to experience and learn hockey in a fun and educational atmosphere. In its first year, LAHA aims to have appropriate programs available for youth ages 4 through 16. Working with USA Hockey and the VSAHA (Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association), LAHA will cultivate a strong hockey program.
     LAHA will be based out of CREW Arena and will run each year between September and February. During the summer months, youth will have a chance to play through the Rink Rat program run by CREW Arena.
