All hockey practices and home games will take place at the Sparta Ice Arena, 1121 E. Montgomery, Sparta, Wisconsin (next to the golf course) or at the Moose Lamb Hockey Rink, 1600 Butts Ave, Tomah, Wisconsin unless otherwise specified. Away games generally take place within communities less than 50-80 miles away including the following communities: Tomah, La Crosse, West Salem, Onalaska, Black River Falls, Viroqua, La Crescent, Neillsville, Eau Claire, and Winona. The hockey season runs from mid-October to mid-March for the Mite, Squirt, Peewee, and Bantam teams. This is about 20-22 weeks of hockey practice and/or games which averages out to be between $2 and $6 per practice. Practices are generally between an hour to an hour and a half long.
As an SYHA hockey member, you receive access to the following:
SYHA has full protective equipment (other than mouth guards and protective cups) and skate available in most sizes at no cost for the use of all SYHA hockey players.
