COMMITTED TO DEVELOPMENT AT EVERY LEVEL

We’re working hard behind the scenes to ensure a great season of development for all ages and levels (recreation and rep) through AVMHA and our valued partnerships with the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, Port Alberni Bombers, City of Port Alberni and other service providers. This includes:

  • Goalie Development
  • Player Development
  • Coach Development

SUPPORTING MULTI-SPORT ATHLETES
We also strongly believe in the value of multi-sport participation, especially for our younger players. We’re actively working to minimize scheduling conflicts with other sports in the community—doing our best to support well-rounded development and balanced family schedules.

Our goal is to provide the best opportunities for our players in the current hockey landscape. This game of hockey teaches many things including sportsmanship, respect, discipline and teamwork. With all that in mind, we’re looking forward to another fun, competitive, and skill-focused season as our players continue their hockey journey. We are excited to see all the returning players and to welcome the new ones this Fall.

  • New Participant: This is someone who has never participated in organized hockey as a player, coach, and/or volunteer. This member would not already exist in the Hockey Canada Registry. If your child has played anywhere in Hockey Canada or registered for ANY courses in the past, DO NOT create a new profile. This will result in a duplicate player profile and will render your child ineligible during the season.
