FVHA WINTER CLASSIC

Youth hockey in the Flathead Valley has been built through the dedication of players, families, coaches, volunteers, and community leaders for decades.

The Flathead Valley Hockey Association (FVHA) and Glacier Hockey Association (GHA) each played an important role in growing the game in the Flathead Valley. GHA was established in 1991 and FVHA was established in 2007, both with the goal of developing youth hockey. Together, the organizations provided opportunities for thousands of young athletes to learn, compete, and develop a lifelong love of hockey.

In 2026, recognizing the opportunity to better serve players and families through a unified approach, the two organizations came together to form the Northwest Montana Youth Hockey Association (NMYHA).

Today, NMYHA proudly carries forward the legacy of both associations under one banner: the Northwest Snow Ghosts. While the name is new, the commitment remains the same—to provide outstanding hockey experiences, develop players of all ages and abilities, and build a strong future for hockey in Northwest Montana.

Honoring the Past. Building the Future.
