Mission

THE MISSOULA AREA YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION (MAYHA) OPERATES GLACIER ICE RINK AND OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF ICE SPORTS PROGRAMS FOR THE MISSOULA COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION TO RUNNING OUR OWN YOUTH AND ADULT HOCKEY PROGRAMS AND PUBLIC SESSIONS, WE RENT ICE TO EXTERNAL USER GROUPS INCLUDING THE MISSOULA FIGURE SKATING CLUB, MISSOULA CURLING CLUB, WOMEN'S HOCKEY ASSOCIATION OF MISSOULA, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA MEN'S HOCKEY TEAM. WE ALSO PROVIDE ICE TIME FOR PRIVATE EVENTS, SCHOOL GROUPS, AND NONPROFIT PARTNERS. OUR MISSION IS TO INSPIRE A PASSION FOR ICE SPORTS AMONG PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES. WE STRIVE TO CREATE A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES PHYSICAL FITNESS, PERSONAL GROWTH, AND COMMUNITY CONNECTION. DURING THE 2023-2024 SEASON, MORE THAN 33,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN OR ATTENDED ACTIVITIES AT THE RINK. THE LARGEST SPECTATOR EVENTS INCLUDED 13 UM GRIZ HOCKEY GAMES, WITH AN AVERAGE OF 1,200 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE AT EACH GAME, AND THE ANNUAL FIRE ON ICE CHARITY GAME WITH 1,700
