They love hockey and playing on the indoor rink at KIHA!

They enjoy the coaches and their teammates. It’s a comfortable, patient atmosphere. 

They found a sport they love and “stick” with! A big part of that is due to the personalized treatment. They feel seen and cared for. 
 

Casey's ability to take criticism has improved. He focuses on teamwork during games, trying to get assists more than goals. His tenacity and competitiveness have had him perform at a higher level.

Isla - she has been working at increasing her speed. While she’s not super competitive, she has been observing gameplay more and trying to position herself on the rink where she is needed. 

They LOVE KIHA!

Our whole family is involved at KIHA 

I’m a hockey dad and I play at Kiha in the adult league with D4, D3 and D2. My wife scorekeeps on Saturdays and loves watching the little Keiki play. Our daughter Katoon plays NHL street and has improved immensely. She helps scorekeep the adult league. Being a proud dad, Katoon scored her first goal in NHL street! 

Doug,  the program Director asked me to help out as a coach and as a referee and I have to admit it opened my eyes to a whole different area of hockey that has made it fun for me but at the same time a great learning experience. Being a Referee I see a different side of the game and learn every week. KIHA is our home away from home! 

My only suggestion would be in the adult league is that it’s better to have more players on a team than it is to have lower numbers because of the amount of callouts that happen each week. I think it’s better to have a roster of 9 -10 players so that when we miss people, it doesn’t cause a team to be shorthanded.

Otherwise, thank you KIHA for giving us a first class facility and a great hockey program. We’re proud to be a part of it. 

We owe so much to KIHA! Less than a year ago, our three boys were struggling with confidence and to find their something special. I found KIHA with random Google search of fun things to do. Doug Jones put my boys on skates and pushed them not to fear. In less than 2 months, I had three boys that skated like they have been doing it for years! They are all so happy and so confident now! We have hockey 3x a week and my boys complain it isn't enough lol. We cannot thank KIHA, Doug Jones, Richard, Lee Sweatt, and all the other badass coaches enough for all that they do and have done for our family in 2025. So excited for another year with KIHA!

THE MISSION OF KIHA IS TO PROVIDE PLAYERS OF ALL AGES AND SKILL LEVELS BOTH MALE AND FEMALE A VERY SAFE AND FUN ENVIRONMENT TO LEARN AND PLAY INLINE HOCKEY.  

Committment to KIHA - Our youth program asks that any youth participant that does sign up please make their Saturday games for the benefit of our program and its fellow members. Missing games to participate elsewhere may result in a refund of fees and loss of participation. 

Everyone Plays - Our goal is for Kids to play Inline hockey , so we mandate that every child on every team must play at least half of every game.

Balanced Teams - Each year we form teams as evenly as possible, because it is fair and more fun when teams of equal ability play.

Positive Coaching - All of our coaches are AAU background screened and encouragement of player effort provides for greater enjoyment by the players and ultimately leads to better skilled and better motivated players.

Good Sportsmanship - We strive to create a safe, fair, fun and positive environment based on mutual respect, rather than a win at all costs attitude, and our program is designed to instill good sportsmanship in every facet of KIHA.

Player Development - We believe that all players should be able to develop their inline hockey skills and knowledge to the best of their abilities, both individually and as members of a team, in order to maximize their enjoyment of the game.

Update this morning about NHL Anaheim Ducks assistant coach, Tim Army coming to KIHA for a three day mini camp. 

The Anaheim Ducks have announced their NHL rookie development camp for June 29th - July 3rd. Which leaves Tim Army’s window to help us closed for this summer. He has asked to book a date to come to KIHA for summer 2026. 

“i am so sorry as you have gone to great lengths to set this up. We were excited to come and visit and I was excited to help around the rink.

I would love to come next summer, June 1st - 4th, 2026"
