Our Mission
The Sylvan Lake Rec Hockey Association is a family-oriented organization, which believes that all youth should have the opportunity to play non-contact hockey in a fun and supportive environment.
We are now proud to announce that we are part of Hockey Alberta Rec Hockey program. This offers us new advantages and increased insurance and support for our families.
Vision
The SLRHA will provide a positive experience for youth and their families.

Core Principles
1. The focus of all SLRHA events will be to ensure all involved will have a fun and safe experience.
2. This is a no-hit league, and therefore any body contact or rough play will not be tolerated.
3. Families will be encouraged to be involved throughout the hockey season.
4. This league is open to male and female athletes regardless of ability or previous hockey experience.
5. Games and practices will be held at reasonable hours of the day.
6. Hockey skills, team play and good sportsmanship are key to a safe and rewarding season, and continually developed by volunteer coaches and officials.
7. There will be generally one session per week; however other optional activities may be made available for those wish to participate.
8. All players, coaches and game officials will be treated with respect. We are a zero tolerance league. Violence, abuse or the use of drugs and alcohol will be dealt with appropriately.
