Aloha State Hockey Foundation
Creating Opportunity Beyond the IslandsFor hockey players growing up in Hawaiʻi, meaningful competition and development often require traveling thousands of miles. Airfare, lodging, tournament registration, ground transportation, equipment, and other expenses can quickly place those opportunities out of reach for local families.Aloha State Hockey Foundation is a Hawaiʻi-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to reduce those barriers and create more pathways for players to compete, develop, and proudly represent the islands.
Our Mission
To reduce the financial and geographic barriers facing Hawaiʻi’s youth hockey players by expanding access to travel, tournament, and developmental opportunities through community, partnership, and aloha.
Our Vision
A Hawaiʻi where every youth hockey player has the opportunity to compete, develop, and represent the islands—regardless of financial circumstances.
Programs & Initiatives
Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges of pursuing hockey opportunities from Hawaiʻi. As the Foundation grows, initiatives may be offered directly by ASHF or developed in partnership with local leagues, teams, coaches, businesses, and community organizations.
Travel and Tournament Assistance
ASHF raises funds to help reduce eligible expenses associated with off-island hockey opportunities. Depending on available funding and the requirements of each program, assistance may help offset costs such as:
​
-
Tournament registration
-
Airfare and ground transportation
-
Lodging
-
Team or player entry fees
-
Uniforms and required equipment
Â
Financial assistance is based on available resources, program eligibility, and the specific purpose of each fundraising campaign or grant.
Community Fundraising & Partnerships
ASHF brings together families, businesses, donors, and community organizations to create sustainable support for Hawaiʻi hockey players.
​
Initiatives may include community fundraisers, donation campaigns, business sponsorships, grants, apparel collaborations, and in-kind contributions such as travel, lodging, equipment, printing, or event support.
​
Through these partnerships, we aim to reduce costs for families while strengthening the broader hockey community in Hawaiʻi.
Girls Hockey Development
ASHF is committed to expanding opportunities for girls to participate, compete, and continue developing within Hawaiʻi’s hockey community.
​
Current and future efforts may include:
-
Supporting girls tournament teams
-
Developing a 13U girls travel program
-
Creating skills and development opportunities
-
Building partnerships with girls and women’s hockey organizations
Â
Our goal is to help create a clearer and more sustainable pathway for girls who want to continue playing and competing as they grow.
Our Impact
Aloha State Hockey Foundation is creating more opportunities for Hawaiʻi hockey players to compete, develop, and stay connected to the game.
​
Our work focuses on reducing the financial and geographic barriers that families face when pursuing travel, tournament, and developmental opportunities. Through fundraising, partnerships, and community support, we help make those experiences more accessible while strengthening Hawaiʻi’s growing hockey community.
More Access
Helping reduce the cost of travel, tournament registration, uniforms, equipment, and other eligible expenses associated with off-island hockey opportunities.
More Opportunity
Supporting pathways for players to compete, develop their skills, and represent Hawaiʻi beyond the islands.
Stronger Community
Bringing together families, businesses, donors, teams, and community partners to support the continued growth of hockey in Hawaiʻi.
As our programs expand, we will continue to track and share measurable results, including the number of players and families supported, tournament opportunities made more accessible, girls hockey initiatives launched, and community partnerships formed.
To us, impact is more than a number. It can mean helping a player attend a first mainland tournament, easing part of the financial burden on a family, or creating an opportunity that did not previously exist.
