The hockey season is now well underway. Most of the teams are getting into the swing of the season and there are many weeks of good hockey yet to be played.
However, WPHA holds our annual membership meeting and elections in March each year, right as the season is ending. This allows our familes to comment and provide input while the season events are fresh in their mind and before moving on to other spring sports. The Board of Directors is required by our by-laws (posted on our website) to announce the candidates for election / re-election and any business the board wants membership to approve.
Our ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING is WEDNESDAY MARCH 7TH 6:30 PM at the Woodland Park Library downstairs meeting room. This year the following Board of Directors positions need members to serve and fill and are open for candidates to nominate themselves, as long as they are in good standing with the association.

This Year space is available to Advertise on the Hockey Rink Boards
Your company will enjoy the maximum amount of visibility here at rink side. The rink is brightly lit, as are the advertising messages that surround the skating area. Super tough decals last the whole season. Special formulated cold temperature adhesive makes them easy to install/take off. The advertising area of each rink board is 3'x8', a total of 24 square feet of space highlighting your business or organization.
Advertise space available on Zamboni Sides
The zamboni is the machine used to resurface the ice before and after hockey games and other on ice activities. The zamboni attracts attention each time it appears, and since there is just one, the opportunity is extremely limited. You can take advantage of it to vividly display your company name, logo, product or service. A zamboni decal is produced using a high quality digital process. Super tough 5 mil protective coating makes these decals last the whole season. Special formulated cold temperature adhesive makes them easy to install/take off.
Sponsorship/Donations
This year you have the opportunity to join a proven winner. As a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization, we are seeking sponsorship/donations from various businesses in our communities. This assistance is in the form of tax deductible donations.
The Woodland Park Hockey Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and encouragement of amateur hockey for Woodland Park and the greater Teller County area.

WPHA is seeking donations for our short and long-term goals as well as funds required to keep our program moving forward.
