The purpose of the Willmar Hockey Association (“WHA”) is to provide a healthy, competitive environment for Players to develop hockey playing skills and game knowledge, and in which the ideals of being a good sport, integrity, honesty, and fair play are abided by at all times.

WHA is proud to celebrate over 50 years of youth hockey in Willmar.  Thank you for being a part of it all! 

WHA is still looking to fill a few tournament spots. 

We currently need:

1- 10U B team

1 - 12u B team

1- PeeWee A team

Please go to our tournament page for more details and to register! 

The 2nd store is now open! The store closes on 10/30/23.

Go to www.Rambow.com and enter the store code: WHA

Just a reminder: We will have multiple stores open throughout the season, making it easier to spread your wish list out, plan for Christmas, or order those items you see your friends wearing. Each order takes about 30 days to get after the store closes.

In these future store offerings, we will have more personalized apparel options, like sublimated sweatshirts that everyone loves.

If your child is interested in playing hockey and wants to give it a try, you've come to the right place! All ages are welcome! Skates, helmets and hockey sticks will be provided.
