ABOUT US

 

The Aloha State Hockey Foundation is dedicated to making travel and tournament hockey a reality for the keiki of Hawai'i. We're a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and with your help, we can provide vital support for transportation, lodging, entry fees, and uniforms, opening doors for our young athletes to compete.

Currently, we're gearing up for the NARCh Finals in July, taking place in Irvine, CA. Your contribution can directly impact a child's ability to participate in this incredible opportunity.

    OUR PHILOSOPHY

     

    Our Philosophy

    We believe that participation in competitive youth hockey offers invaluable life lessons beyond the rink. Our philosophy is built on the following pillars:

    • Inclusivity and Access: We are dedicated to ensuring that the sport of hockey is accessible to all Hawaii's youth. We believe that passion and talent, not economic circumstances, should determine an athlete's ability to participate in high-level competition.
    • Character Development: We view hockey as a powerful vehicle for building strong character. Through the demands of competitive play and travel, we aim to foster resilience, discipline, teamwork, respect, and integrity in our young athletes.
    • Empowerment Through Opportunity: By providing financial support for travel and tournament play, we empower dedicated athletes to test their skills against diverse competition, gain invaluable experience, and reach their personal best. We believe these experiences are crucial for their growth both within the sport and in life.
    • Community and Aloha Spirit: We strive to cultivate a supportive and positive community around Hawaii youth hockey. We encourage athletes, families, and supporters to embody the aloha spirit, fostering camaraderie, mutual respect, and a shared passion for the game, whether at home or competing abroad.
