Welcome to the Buffalo Youth Hockey Website!

The Buffalo Youth Hockey Association provides hockey education and development programs for students in School District 877 (Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose) and 876 (Annandale).


DIBS VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED

We have many volunteer opportunities for our members to pick up DIBS shifts! Our organization is looking for volunteers to help with game day duties for the Jr. Gold Tournament (January), District Tournaments (February), and then a MN State Banquet/Tournament in March! If you can spare some time to help out, it would be greatly appreciated. Even if your hours are comped or completed for the season, every little bit will help! 

Tournaments are a great opportunity to showcase our awesome association and our beautiful community. We also use these as "fundraisers" to help give us income for the season to keep costs low.
