Ashley Valley Hockey coaches are all excellently trained and certified. They are truly the heart of the association. They have passed background checks, USA Hockey classes and SafeSport certifications before becoming on-ice volunteers. We appreciate our coaches and their dedication to our youth players. AVAHA would not have a program without our coaches.
