Glenwood Springs Youth Hockey Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The original Articles of Association were filed in February of 1997 by Peter Sharp under the name of Roaring Fork Valley Skating Association. The IRS determination letter for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status was issued in July 1999. In October of 2003 executive directors of Jennifer Hussey's board adopted the first ammendment to the Articles of Association revising the membership declaration. This ammendment unofficially introduced the DBA of "Glenwood Springs Youth Hockey Association." Peter Tibbet's board of directors passed Ammendment 2 to Articles of Association in May 2008 officially dropping the old name "Roaring Fork Valley Skating Association" and our current name was registered with the Secretary of State along with the acronymn GSYHA. But we are more affectionately known as Grizzly Hockey.

Purpose ”I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.” - Wayne Gretzky
The obvious purpose of Glenwood Springs Youth Hockey is to give our kids a hockey club and help them learn and play hockey. As a non-profit organization we also have governance and management responsibilities. This web site is about the players and their athletic endeavors, but is also about our responsibilities as coaches, mentors, parents, and citizens of the USA.
Coaches, parents, managers, and spectators should always recognize Grizzly Hockey programs go beyond the obvious mission of teaching and playing hockey. The greater mission is developing athleticism, character, sportsmanship, and self-esteem.
