The Detroit Hockey Association (DHA) is an amateur, non-profit,
501(c)(3) tax exempt youth ice hockey organization based at
Jack Adams Arena
in Detroit, MI.
The DHA has focused on building the character of metro Detroit youth for
over 30 years. Its motto, “Where goals are achieved, not just scored”
guides the association. When it comes to helping students achieve life
goals, the program has been a great success. The numbers say it all. In
2006 the graduation rate in Detroit schools was worst in the United
States at only 21.7%. In stark contrast, all Detroit Hockey Association
players graduate from high school and most go on to College!
The DHA is committed to grow by attracting more players and their
families to the program. This website provides one method of informing
metro Detroit the
DHA offers the most affordable hockey in Southeastern Michigan.
For example, an entire season in the i-Program (learn to play) only
costs $150, including instruction, ice time, skates, sticks, and full
equipment!

The annual

February since 2005, the DHA has hosted HITH in Detroit. Hockey in the
Hood is a diverse tournament that features inner-city youth hockey teams
from around the country.
2008 was a very special year for Hockey in the Hood. Teams from ten
different cities helped
Willie O'Ree celebrate the 50th anniversary of his breaking
the color barrier in the NHL. Mr. O'Ree was on hand to present the
Willie O'Cup championship trophy to the winning teams.
