Overview
Mission
Our core mission is to promote and provide support for youth hockey development throughout the state of Washington and the pacific northwest. We operate under two brands, the Washington wolverines in the fall regular season and the seattle selects during the spring season. Across these two brands we offer development focused hockey programming, compete against other clubs throughout the northwest and canada. Unfortunately, hockey is an expensive sport and not all families can afford the cost, particularly to develop and compete at high levels. In addition to helping individual athletes grow and develop in the sport, northwest hockey development raises funds to offer need based support to families that struggle to afford the cost of high level hockey. Northwest hockey development therefore awards individual, team and program level hockey grants to help athletes by offsetting program fees, equipment, travel costs and other costs. These need based grants are reviewed and awarded by our boar
What it reported doing in 2025
Operated development-focused competitive youth hockey programs under the Washington wolverines and seattle selects brands and provided need-based athlete assistance grants.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
