The USA Hockey recommended guidelines encourage an environment in which children can learn the basic skills without the distractions that are often associated with an overemphasis on winning. Mastery of the fundamental skills and the fun of playing are essential to the development of a lifelong interest in hockey and player development.
Golden Spike Hockey is a recreational house hockey progam that will be conducted to accommodate all levels of players who wish to play hockey and focus on sportsmanship, enjoyment, recreation and competition. All of which are the focus of the skill progressions for youth hockey as defined by USA Hockey.

1/3/2010 - Pee Wees Take Second Place in Boise (15) Congratulations to the Pee Wee Travel team on their 2nd place win at the Break the Ice Tournament in Boise, Idaho this weekend.
12/7/2009 - GS Jerseys (15) To All of GS,
I apologize to all of you that ordered jerseys for the delay in receiving them. There were circumstances beyond our control that were a factor in them getting ordered. They are on order and we are trying to get a rush on them. I also heard there is a rumor going around concerning GS changing the logos on the jerseys, which is completely false. Because of the fact that many have purchased jerseys with the intent of using them for a few years, the decision was to keep the existing logo. There are different designs for items supporting GS(t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc) that will be available.
I sincerely apologize for any, and all, inconvenience this may have caused.
Rich Zvonkovic
President, Golden Spike
