About Flagstaff Youth Hockey Association (FYHA)

Welcome to the exciting world of youth hockey! The Flagstaff Northstars are proud to offer a structured and supportive environment for young athletes to learn and excel in the sport in our beautiful mountain town. Hockey teaches discipline, teamwork, and perseverance while providing a fun and active experience.

Mission Statement

The Flagstaff Youth Hockey Association (FYHA) is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to the development, advancement, and enjoyment of youth hockey in the Flagstaff, Arizona area.

FYHA is an affiliate of Arizona Amateur Hockey Association (AAHA), the governing body for the State of Arizona, and who is in turn, affiliated with USA Hockey who is the governing body for Amateur Hockey in the US.

In conjunction with and governed by the By-laws, Playing Rules & Policies of those organizations, we develop programs based on our Core Values that provide a safe, enjoyable, and challenging hockey experience to all who want to participate in the great sport of hockey.

FYHA does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, national origin or religious affiliations and seeks to place participants (boys and girls) with similar desires and judged abilities together on teams or in similar groups to maximize enjoyment for all participants.

CORE VALUES

FYHA embraces and promotes the Core Values set forth by USA Hockey:

  • SPORTSMANSHIP – Foremost of all values is to learn a sense of fair play. Become humble in victory, gracious in defeat. We will foster friendship with teammates and opponents alike.
  • RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL – Treat all others as you expect to be treated.
  • INTEGRITY – We seek to foster honesty and fair play beyond mere strict interpretation of the rules and regulations of the game.
  • PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE AT THE INDIVIDUAL, TEAM, AND ORGANIZATIONAL LEVELS – Each member of the organization, whether player, volunteer or staff, should seek to perform each aspect of the game to the highest level of his or her ability.
  • ENJOYMENT – It is important for the hockey experience to be fun, satisfying and rewarding for all participants.
  • LOYALTY – We aspire to teach loyalty to the ideals and fellow members of the sport of hockey.
  • TEAMWORK – We value the strength of learning to work together. The use of teamwork is reinforced and rewarded by success in the hockey experience.
