Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association

Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association Sno-King is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to youth hockey on the Eastside.

Since our inception in 1964, we have provided the opportunity for players from ages 4 to 18 to participate in organized, competitive hockey.

Last week, several members of the Sno-King staff attended the USA Hockey Western Regional High Performance Camp in Colorado Springs, Colorado, one of the premier development opportunities for coaches in the region.

Representing Sno-King were Melissa Erkel (Girls Coordinator), Darin Campbell (Director of Goalie Development), Doug Kirton (Hockey Director & Head Coach, 19U AAA Girls), and Joel Willits (Head Coach, 12U AAA Girls).

Throughout the week, they collaborated with coaches from across the western United States, participated in on-ice and classroom sessions, and gained valuable insights from USA Hockey staff and fellow hockey leaders. The camp provided opportunities to learn new drills, share ideas, and explore innovative approaches to player development.

Most importantly, they returned with new knowledge and tools that will directly benefit Sno-King players and programs. Experiences like these help our coaches continue to grow, ensuring our athletes receive the best possible development both on and off the ice.

We're grateful for the dedication our coaches show to their own development and proud to have them representing Sno-King at the highest levels of coach education.

It was fantastic to see so many players on the ice, connecting with teammates, meeting new friends, and taking the next step toward the 2026–27 season.

πŸ’ Help grow the game!

Sno-King is looking for volunteers to assist with our upcoming Try Hockey Free events and Summer Rookies sessions beginning June 13.

If you're an experienced player in one of Sno-King's programs and want to help introduce new players to hockey, we'd love to have you on the ice with us. Volunteers should be 14U or older and have prior skating and hockey experience.

This is a great opportunity to give back to the hockey community, earn volunteer hours, and help create a fun first experience for future Sno-King players.
