We are seeking stories and photos from former and current players as we celebrate our 25th season of offering youth hockey to the Brighton area. Please share your stories at the following link and we will share them on social media over the holidays. 

2025-2026 KVHA MID-SEASON COACHING EVALUATIONS

Please take a moment to provide feedback about your current team’s coaching staff.   This gives us an opportunity to see where our coaches are doing well and areas for improvement.  The results will be shared anonymously in summary form and will form the basis for our coaching interviews in January when we sit down with our current coaches as well as new applicants to ensure we have the best coaches in place to provide a fun and safe envronment where players can develop and thrive both on and off the ice.
