August Newsletter


Host A Player!

We are looking for families to host out of town players for the hockey season and be a second home for young men putting it all on the line to take their game to the next level. Families must provide a safe and positive home life. Hosting a player can be very rewarding and create lifelong bonds and friendships. Many of our billeted players in recent years have become “Big Brothers” and role models for young players in the household. We do our best to match families and players with compatible values and family backgrounds.

Play Hockey This Fall!

Matt Smith Memorial Scholarship

IYHA and the family of Matt Smith have established a scholarship program in Matt's honor to make youth hockey more accessible to participants who demonstrate a financial need. Matt was a beloved hockey coach here in Indy who lost his life much too soon back in August of 2015, but not before he had greatly touched the lives of the youth hockey and adult hockey communities here in the greater Indianapolis area. 

The Matt Smith Memorial Hockey Scholarship is funded by contributions and through future events as planned by IYHA and the Smith family. IYHA encourages all families who feel they need assistance with hockey fees to apply.

The Registration "August Newsletter " is not currently available.
