About the Waconia Hockey Association

The Waconia Hockey Association (WHA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a fun and educational ice hockey experience for girls and boys residing in the communities of Waconia, St. Bonifacius, Cologne, New Germany, Norwood Young America, and surrounding areas  Our programs are planned, promoted and administered by unpaid volunteers. Our curriculum stresses basic skills and encourages team play and sportsmanship. Individuals who teach this curriculum have completed one or more courses in the USA Hockey Coaching Education Program (CEP). WHA coaches and Board of Directors, as dictated by our Code of Conduct, are also committed to teaching players to respect their opponents and the officials.
 
Formed in 1994, the WHA has experienced, and continues to experience, tremendous growth. We now have more than 180 families and about 250 hockey players in our program. 
 
The WHA home rink is the newly constructed Waconia Ice Arena, located just north of the Waconia High School. The Waconia Ice Arena is owned and managed by the City of Waconia. The WHA has signed an ice contract with the City of Waconia. The WHA hockey season generally conforms to our ice contract, with clinics and tryouts in September and October, league games in November through February, and
tournaments in March.
