NH Avalanche

HISTORY:  The NH Avalanche (www.nhavalanche.com) was founded in March 2001 to provide a hockey development program with important advantages compared to traditional travel hockey organizations. The Avalanche is a non-profit corporation sharing common control with the Ice Den Arena in Hooksett, NH. As a result, the Avalanche enjoys access to the most desirable, prime-time hours at one of the cleanest, brightest, and most attractively laid out hockey facilities in New England.

Our philosophy is simple: to provide excellent instruction and development to those youngsters truly interested in making the commitment to travel hockey, and to improvement. At the same time, we try to instill respect for teammates, opponents, and officials the virtue of old-fashioned sportsmanship that includes graciousness in both victory or defeat. We also ask parents to reinforce these lessons with their own behavior at the rink! Just as importantly, we strive to provide a positive and friendly environment so that hockey remains fun, and kids develop a love for the game, as well as athletic skill. Lastly, we try to teach children one of hockey’s greatest lessons that hard work produces rewards.

The Avalanche are happy to announce that we are full members of the Boston Hockey League (www.mbhl.com) for the 2007 / 2008 season.  This makes the Avalanche the only NH based organization to offer true AAA competition plus access to the Granite State League, which is the gateway to the State, Regional and National USA hockey tournaments. 
 
Some exciting facts about the Metro League.
    1.  The Metro plays college rules which means tag up off-sides
    2. The Metro league plays checking starting at the Mite Level
    3. The Metro is the oldest AAA league in New England.
