Idaho Falls Youth Hockey Association

With its official motto, “A kid on ice is a kid out of hot water,” IFYHA runs from November through March and caters to recreational players wishing to compete and boost their skills, either through a “House League” or travel teams. House League practices and games (Bantams and younger) are held locally at the Wayne Lehto & Joe Marmo Ice Rink. Additionally, high school players can expect to have 2-4 “away” games during the season, with all practices in Idaho Falls.
Travel teams generally practice once per week and play between 20 and 40 games per season. These teams compete for the Idaho State Championship and may enter the USA Hockey Tier II National Championship tournaments.
