Home of Jackson Youth Hockey

Dear Jackson Youth Hockey Community;

The JYH Board would like to extend heartfelt thanks to you for your involvement in Jackson Youth Hockey.  With your help it was a very successful season. We had broad participation (close to 200 kids), success on the ice and a ton of learning about the game of hockey and the value of team sports.

As a mission, the program seeks to provide a meaningful opportunity for children to experience the great game of hockey and to develop their skating skills and hockey skills to the best of their ability while instilling leadership.  With the help of great coaches and the tireless efforts of each and every one of you parents (some of whom are coaches too!), we felt this mission was met.

Keep updated with Jackson Youth Hockey news and summer skating/hockey camp opportunities right here on the website all year long.  Thank you again!

Excerpts:
"This past week, Jackson peewee hockey players Tanner Colson, Harrison Sauter and Ryan Welch were part of a 15-man Team Wyoming roster competing at the under-12 National Hockey Championships in Reston, Va."
 
"To have four players selected to a team of 15 from Jackson’s relatively small pool is an indication of the quality of the local hockey program."
 
“'Jackson Youth Hockey has helped me grow as a person and improve as a hockey player,' James Doyle said"
 
“'It shows that we have a good coaching system if we are one-fourth of the [Wyoming] team,' 12-year old Ryan Welch said."

    Coach Scott Smith Memorial Alumni Game

    On December 23, 2011, former JYH players took to the ice to share their love of hockey and memories of Coach Scott Smith. 

    Video of the game is below; in memory of Scott Smith, our beloved father, friend and coach, who for more than 20 years imparted his love and knowledge of the game of Hockey to so many in our community. All proceeds and donations from the alumni game will support scholarships through the Scott Smith Memorial Fund, dedicated to "Keeping the Kids on the Ice".

    Coach Scott Smith Memorial Fund

    Coach Scott Smith surely has a smile on his face as hockey time returns to Jackson.  We welcome over 90 Mites in to the program this fall.  The Mites were a particular passion to Coach Smith and he guided the way for many of our older skaters.

    Coach Scott's family graciously requested donations directed to JYH in Scott's honor.  If you would like to donate to JYH, please send to POB 4733, Jackson, WY 83001, and indicate Scott Smith Memorial in the memo line.  The Memorial account is set up at the Bank of Jackson Hole, Hillside Branch if you would like to make a donation through the bank.

    Thank you
