Overview

Mission

To provide safe, affordable, high-quality youth ice hockey programming for residents of central Pennsylvania and beyond.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization fields teams for more than 100 youth, and hosts league events and tournaments.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
