We strive to be an additional resource in the Greater Seattle area for families who need an assist keeping their kids on the ice. If you know of a family in need, nominate them by contacting Executive Director, Ryno (ryno@seattleyouthhockeyassist.org). In your email share why you feel they deserve assistance. Prior to SYHA awarding scholarships, families will need to complete an application demonstrating a need for assistance.

SYHA's assistance is focused on supporting players who have constraints in fulfilling the financial needs to begin to play or to continue to play hockey, such us equipment, season team costs, and summer clinics/camps. SYHA provides the financial assistance directly to the youth player's association, equipment partners, and other vendors; other costs associated with a typical season may be covered and will be at the discretion of SYHA's Board of Directors and based on available funding.

How much is provided to a family depends on their needs and on the age of the kids.
- Some kids are in need of new equipment because they’ve outgrown what they have (which we have a partnership with Hockey Wolf on either discounted old model equipment or used-like new equipment)…between $500-$1200, depending on what equipment the kid may need.
- Other kids, assistance is for camps or clinics in the off season that they’ve never had opportunities to do before due to family finances… these run between $300-$1000  depending of the age, skill, and length of the camp or clinic.
- Then there’s the standard season fees that started our assistance program…depending on the age group, it’s typically a minimum of $1200 up to $3,000 or more, depending on the age group and association.
