Mankato Area Hockey Association

MAHA is comprised of over 70 volunteer coaches from it's first year mini mite to it's bantam level. For the most part these coaches work on a volunteer basis, though they do receive small stipends to help off set their coaching costs.

MAHA coaches range anywhere from first year parent coaches to 13 year veteran's of the association. Though we have varying degrees of experience and background, the main emphasis of all of MAHA's coaches is the development and enjoyment of our players.

In a typical season our volunteer coaches will put in between 300-500 hours coaching our youth, and accumulate out of pocket expenses reachining as high as $400 in some cases. It is quite evident that our coaches do NOT do this for the money...making their participation all the more special and appreciated.

If you are interested in becoming a MAHA coach, please contact the Operation's Manager, Dan Devenport at either 507-345-6242 or via email at davvy@charter.net.

The Goalie Club - Des Christopher

MAHA is pleased to announce that Des Christopher and the Goalie Club will once again be running Sunday night goalie clinics. Des and his staff are in their fourth year running these Sunday night sessions, which cater solely to goalies of all ages in MAHA. For a complete schedule of these times visit the "advanced programs" page.

Chris Clark

New to the 2007-2008 season MAHA is happy to bring Chris Clark on board to help out at individual team practices. A former Maverick goalie, Chris will be hitting the ice from time to time to not only work with goalies, but to work with coaches on areas they can continue to develop their goalies in practice.
