History of Sno-King

Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association has been in existence since 1964. Through this period of time, we have enjoyed many successful accomplishments. Our various teams have won many Western U.S. Regional tournaments and the United States Nationals. Our trophy cases are filled with Championship trophies from all over North America. Sno-King currently has over 400 skaters ages 5-17 years old, competing at various levels of play from mites to midgets. We have teams competing in local and state leagues. Sno-King’s PeeWee, Bantam and Midget A & B teams play in the Pacific Coast League throughout Canada. Many Sno-King players have advanced to the Junior, College, National Team and Professional ranks.

Our main fundraiser is our Bingo game, which operates 3 days a week and has allowed us, with the help of volunteers, to build our own ice arena. Kingsgate Arena is a converted grocery store, which opened as a rink in January of 1991. Since that time we have hosted many tournaments. We are very thrilled to have opened in November of 2000 our new facility, Castle Ice Arena, which is located in the Renton Highlands area and has opened many opportunities for new families to get involved in the Greatest Sport on Earth.


By-Laws & Policies

Please note that the Sno-King Policies were significantly revised, expanded, updated, and adopted in mid-2006. The policies are binding rules that are followed by coaches, parents, players, and everyone involved with our association. If you have an issue and, after reading the policies, you are unsure of how one or more policies affect your situation, please contact the SKAHA office, and your question(s) will be forwarded to the appropriate person for an answer.

Volunteer at Sno-King

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association (SKAHA). Sno-King was literally built on volunteerism. Kingsgate Ice Arena is a testament to the lasting gift past and current volunteers have provided this Association. Each year volunteers donate their time and energy to provide sports and life skills training for the kids we serve.

These volunteers represent all sectors of the community. They are family and friends of athletes, student groups, business leaders, and members of local civic organizations. But they all share our vision, which is to “build players for life”. We want to impart skills to kids so that they are in a position to understand the consequences of a particular decision and be in a better position to make positive life choices and be given the chance to become useful and productive citizens.

Sno-King encourages volunteer participation on various levels. Most volunteers begin their involvement with Sno-King as Coaches or team managers. These volunteers help coordinate the administrative tasks and duties with “running” a particular team or program.

The next “level” of volunteerism is involved with issues related to a particular age division. These jobs can include Division Coordinator. This individual acts as a communication liaison with the various team managers, ensuring that information (2 way communication) is taking place between teams, teams and the overall program, etc. The age group also has a Division Supervisor (usually a Board Member) who represents the age group in Planning and Implementation of programs for that age group. The supervisor may also be involved in any disputes, which may arise within the age group.

Other volunteers choose to serve on a Committee. Committee members spend three to five hours per week planning and organizing tournaments, organizational finance, hockey programs, etc. with the support of SKAHA professional staff. The President appoints members to a committee.

Still other volunteers choose to just give of their time (helping at the office, creating this web site, being available as a mentor, etc.). Whatever your interests as a volunteer we offer many opportunities, and it is likely that we have one for you. Volunteering for Sno-King has been a gratifying experience for many others who have already shared with us their time and talents. We hope you will join them; and whatever your volunteer role, we wish you many rewards.
