A message from our President

Welcome to the 2021-2022 Whitehorse Minor Hockey Season.   As we continue to move through life and sports while dealing with Covid, and reflect on the past season, our hope is we can offer our athletes a more normal hockey season.  

While last year had its challenges, we are very proud of how well our association persevered.  Although our Mustangs Rep teams could not travel out of territory, we were able to ice some very competitive league games and championships.  We were very fortunate all things considered, compared to our counterparts in B.C. who were mandated to only take part in skills sessions and practices for the most part.

Your WMHA board has been working all summer to ensure this year is a success. We look forward to starting the season off with skills, then evaluations before we get into league play in early October.

Everyone involved in Whitehorse Minor Hockey deserves a huge pat on the back, as we won the Frank Spring Award, naming us as the top minor hockey association in all of BC Hockey for the 2020-2021 season. Thank you to all of our coaches, league managers, referees, and other volunteers that made this happen.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our board members if you have a question.  

Have a great season, see you at the rink!

Thanks you!

Jeff Frizzell
President, WMHA
