White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association has been one of the premier youth hockey associations in the state since 1968. Since then, the association has been a pioneer in the development in hockey players, coaches and philosophies. 

The goal of the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association is to develop skilled hockey players, to stress good sportsmanship and fair play and to teach each participant to accept both victory and defeat in a gracious manner. Our membership will strive to achieve the following:

- Give each player the opportunity to participate to the best of his/her ability.
- Teach the fundamental skills of hockey through practice and game play.
- To contribute to the social, emotional and physical development of players.
- To reinforce the traits of commitment, loyalty, respect, responsibility and teamwork in all players.

It is a tribute to the founders and the hundreds of volunteers who have followed them that thousands of White Bear Lake boys and girls have not only learned the game of hockey, but more importantly, have had many memorable moments playing hockey in our association. Dozens of White Bear Lake skaters can be found on college, pro, and semi-pro rosters around the country, and they all started in the same place -learning to stand up on skates at the Hippodrome.
