WHITEFISH ADULT HOCKEY
HOCKEY FOR EVERYONE
JOIN A LEAGUE, GET DRAFTED, AND GET YOUR NAME ON THE CUP!
Adult Hockey is a great lifetime sport that you can learn at any age and play until your golden ages. We play non-checking hockey games, with teams separated into groups by experience and ability. Check out our web site today, and come by to see one of our programs rst hand!
LEAGUE HOCKEY Adult league hockey games have run in White sh since 2005. There are two league sessions ($170/person) per year with weekly games from October through December, and January through March. Teams are drafted each session and accommodate everyone from very beginner players to former professional players. Players are drafted on teams in four different leagues organized by skill level. Women and men compete in 10-12 refereed gamed per session. Loaner equipment is available. This year around 250 adults will participate in our adult leagues.

WOMEN’S LEAGUE This fall in addition to co-ed leagues, we have also added a women’s hockey league. Four teams play games in White sh and Kalispell. Hockey continues to be one of the fastest growing sports for women, and we are excited to nally be able to offer a women-only league!
BEGINNER PROGRAM Always wanted to try hockey? This year WAHA will be helping to coordinate a program for men and women
who are interested in learning to skate and play hockey. This program is for all ages--anyone who wants to learn one of the best lifetime sports in the world!
DROP-IN HOCKEY Drop-in hockey is a great way to learn to play, meet other players, or ne-tune your skills. Drop-in hockey is not refereed, and scores are not kept. Players bring their own light and dark jerseys to make teams up upon arrival. There are also adult clinics where coaches help new and experienced players hone their skills. Drop-in sessions run almost year-round, with six drop- in sessions a week during peak seasons. Sessions are organized by ability and age.
Drop-in passes are $13, annual drop-in passes cost $385. Drop-in schedules can be found at white shhockey.org.
TOURNAMENT HOCKEY WAHA also hosts 8+ adult hockey tournaments a year. Each tournament is organized by skill, gender, age, and/or ability. Teams travel from all over Montana, Idaho, Washington, Alberta and British Columbia to participate. The tournament schedule is posted at white shhockey.org.
