We are proud of all of AHA's graduating alumni and wish them nothing but success in their future endeavors. We also acknowledge and thank the parents of our graduating players for all those years of cold early mornings, long car rides, and sweaty equipment. Hockey moms and dads (and grandparents and siblings) are the best. Know that you will always have a home with AHA, and AHA will always welcome your help and support. Special thanks to Kevin Cormier, Fred Porter, Jacqui Ambrose, and Fran McGuinness for their work on the scholarship committee, and for the generosity and support of the Stella, Gallacher, and Hillmann families.
Annual Program Details
The Board of Directors of the Andover Hockey Association is pleased to sponsor an annual scholarship program for deserving alumni of the AHA youth hockey program.
