The Cyclones AHA Mission
The Cyclones Amateur Hockey Associations mission is to provide a great place for youth athletes ages 4-18 to grow their Hockey skills and life-long enjoyment of the game.
Our Cyclones vision is we will achieve their mission by providing quality coaching and mentoring so that players at every level of our program can develop their ability to advance to their next level in hockey.
Why Cyclones?
Hockey parents understand that the level of commitment it takes when a child plays competitive hockey is more than most other sports: more time, more money, more travel, more late nights and early mornings.
While a trip to "the show" may not be available to all of our players, the life-skills described on this page are absolutely available to EVERY SINGLE ONE of our players.
Life Skills
The Cyclones Commitment to Player Development through Key Areas of:
