WE KNOW YOU WANT TO GET BACK ON THE ICE!

 There is no open date yet - stay tuned.

Wings West will NOT open until the Governor issues the order(s) stating that rinks are allowed to be open. While we have heard of some rinks in/around our state being open - even in limited/invitation only capacities - the Governor's current orders do not allow rinks to be open unless those areas are in Phase 5 of her Safe Start Plan. Our governing body, MAHA, is actively engaged with legislators, lobbyists and the Governor's office to reclassify ice rinks, which are currently in the same category as entertainment venues (like Little Caesars Arena and Ford Field).

KOHA will update dates and times once rinks are able to open back up. For all other camps and clinics (Athletic Mentors and Ferschweiler Hockey Camps) please contact those programs directly for updates.

    SAWYER BALIFF MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

    The Sawyer Baliff Memorial Scholarship will provide merit based scholarship(s) that the honoree can apply to their KOHA fees the following season. 
    The recipient of Sawyer’s scholarship will be the type of child that represents the type of player, teammate and person Sawyer was and how he is remembered. 
    He or she will have exhibited sportsmanship throughout the season, strength for teammates when needed, good character, and a smile.
    The intent of this scholarship is to recognize those kids who have shown that they have the HEART to work, and compassion for those around them, just like Sawyer!
