Mission
THE MISSION OF IYHA IS TO PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS POSITIVE, FUN, AND COMPETITIVE FOR OUR CHILDREN. TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS, IT IS NECESSARY TO TEACH AND LEARN THE FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS OF HOCKEY AND ALLOW EACH INDIVIDUAL THE TIME TO MASTER THESE SKILLS AS HE OR SHE DEVELOPS AND MATURES. EACH CHILD DESERVES THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO REACH THEIR HIGHEST SKILL LEVEL POSSIBLE. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION, WE NEED TO EDUCATE, WORK WITH, AND CONTINUOUSLY TRAIN OUR COACHES, OUR PARENTS/ GUARDIANS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OUR KIDS. THIS PROGRAM MUST ALSO TEACH COACHES, PARENTS/GUARDIANS, AND KIDS INTEGRITY, PRIDE, LOYALTY, DEDICATION, AND COMMITMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE IRONDALE HOCKEY COMMUNITY REACHES ITS GREATEST POTENTIAL. DURING THE CURRENT YEAR, IYHA SERVED APPROXIMATELY 200 PARTICIPANTS AND COACHES.
