Welcome to the Mankato Area Hockey Association

Our primary goal is to provide skaters with a healthy, safe, environment and a team sports experience. Nearly all of the hockey players selected for the Mankato High School Varsity and Junior Varsity teams developed their skills in MAHA programs.


For the hockey season, we stress the following goals to coaches, players and parents:

  • Fun in hockey and athletics
  • Learn good sportsmanship, understand fair play, and the ability to graciously accept victory or defeat.
  • Develop each skater to the best of his/her ability.
  • Develop individual and team skills, knowledge of the game, and an attitude of team participation, loyalty, respect and responsibility.

Hundreds of players annually participate in MAHA sponsored programs. Programs exist at each age level, beginning with five year old Mini-Mites and continuing through the Bantam age group (14 - 15 years old).

Hockey Operations Director - Update

Dear Association Members,

The MAHA Board of Directors is proud to announce that we have appointed Tom Christenson to head hockey operations.  Tom has extensive experience directing on-ice operations.  He filled this role for five years prior to stepping down four years ago to focus on his boys' hockey careers and provide leadership for District 4, where he is currently the president and coordinator for the east district.

Tom is excited to return to MAHA and is a source of strength for our association.  He is currently forming the hockey operations committee and together, they will establish our on-ice programs.  Tom will also serve as our District 4 representative where he will voice our concerns and campaign on behalf of MAHA.  We will have more information on Tom and the hockey operations committee in upcoming newsletters and website releases.

Interested in coaching?  Contact Tom to schedule your interview and become a catalyst in shaping the youth that we serve.

To contact our Hockey Operations Director,
Email: Tom Christenson  
or call 507-345-3579.

Please join the MAHA Board in welcoming
Tom Christenson back to his managing role
in our association.

A percentage of your purchase will be sent to MAHA.  The prices on these sites are EXACTLY the same as if you went to the sites directly, so there is no increase to you, only a huge benefit to MAHA.  This could be a tremendous fundraiser for the association, and it's as easy as a click of your mouse!!  Please feel free to e-mail this information it anyone that shops online.
