Mission

To provide a positive youth hockey experience for all players of all skill levels and ages. This focus will help them develop as players and individuals and also foster a life-long love for the game of hockey.

Vision

GBAYHA exists to offer a high quality, affordable opportunity to learn the game of hockey for players in our Green Bay organization. We pride ourselves on providing age-appropriate player development and skill-appropriate coaching. Success is measured by player development and retention, not winning championships.

Values

The following Core Values of USA Hockey are adopted to guide the association’s members in their planning, programming, and play, both now and in the future. While these core values are directed at our youths that play hockey, it must also be implemented by adult volunteers. Coaches, parents, and administrators must all do their part to ensure that these core values and policies are upheld.

Sportsmanship

Foremost of all values is to learn a sense of fair play. Be humble in victory, gracious in defeat. We will foster friendship with teammates and opponents alike.

Respect for the Individual

Treat all others as you expect to be treated. Develop respect for coaches, referees, other players, and self that promotes discipline, increasing maturity and a good association reputation.

Integrity

We seek to foster honesty and fair play beyond mere strict interpretation of the rules and regulations of the game.

Pursuit of Excellence at the Individual, Team and Organizational Levels

Each member of the organization, whether player, volunteer, or staff, should seek to perform each aspect of the game to the highest level of his or her ability.

Enjoyment

It is important for the hockey experience to be fun, satisfying and rewarding for all participants.

Loyalty

We aspire to teach loyalty to the ideals and fellow members of the sport of hockey.

Teamwork

We value the strength of learning to work together. The use of teamwork is reinforced and rewarded by success in the hockey experience.

Fair and Equitable Opportunities

We believe that all players, regardless of age, gender, and skill level, should have a fair and equitable opportunity to play and enjoy the game of hockey.

Fun

We believe that in order for players to enjoy the game of hockey, build lifelong friendships, and create long lasting memories, they have to have fun while participating in the game.

Safety

We believe that in order to have a safe experience, players need to have appropriate equipment. Players will be coached and supervised by trusted adults who have passed strict background screenings and be trained in an environment that helps players learn the game, improve their skills, and build character.
