Welcome Back Skate

We’re kicking off the 2025–26 season in style — and we want your family to be part of it! Join us for our annual GYHA Welcome Back Skate on Sunday, August 17.

This is a great opportunity for returning players to get back on the ice, connect with teammates, and gear up for the season — and for new families to see what GYHA is all about.

We have the ice from 1:40–2:40 PM at The Pond, but the fun won't end there.

After-Skate Festivities Include:

• Bounce houses set up on the Smurf Turf (weather permitting; the upstairs area will be reserved in case of rain)

• Arctic Alley open for additional games and fun

• Free GYHA t-shirts for all players

• Grilled burgers and hot dogs for lunch

• Ice cream truck arriving at 3:30pm after lunch

We’ll also be holding a Parents vs. Kids Relay Race on the ice, so sharpen those skates and definitely stretch out — bragging rights are on the line!

This event is free for all GYHA families, and we encourage players from every age group — Mini-Mites through Bantams — to come out and join us.

Bring your skates, bring your appetite, and help us launch another great season of Geauga hockey.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
