50th Anniversary Celebration Recap

What an unforgettable weekend! STMAYHA's 50th Anniversary celebrated five decades of hockey and united our community like never before. From the kick-off at Neighbors to the Alumni Game honoring Denny Yerxa and the High School Players skating with the Mite/8U kids, the weekend was filled with exciting games, contests, and countless special moments.

We also celebrated our rich history—starting in 1974-75 as Albertville Youth Hockey, with just 15 players on a Peewee team and an outdoor rink. Today, STMAYHA has grown to over 600 players and 45 teams, a testament to the dedication of our volunteers and the incredible support of our community.

A heartfelt thank-you to our amazing volunteers and especially to the STMA and RiverHawks high school players, who made this celebration so memorable. Here’s to the past 50 years and many more to come! 🏒💙💛
