Joel L'Esperance, a former KVHA hockey player has committed to Michigan Tech University.  Joel, a 1995 birth year and coached by KVHA Coach Tommy Miller, started at the KVHA as a Mini-Mite and played all the way through Bantam A.  The next year, the team moved to Compuware where they were highly competitive in the elite AAA league.  Joel's work ethic and perseverance has moved him to the next level of hockey.  Joel will likely be playing for the Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL) before moving to Houghton to join the Michigan Tech Division I Varsity Team.  The L'Esperance family would like to thank Tommy Miller for all his efforts in developing Joel through the years.  The KVHA would like to wish Joel the best of luck in his hockey future.

The Michigan Amateur Hockey Association's S.T.A.R. Hockey program was one of the first of its type created anywhere in the country. It is our response to increasing reports of misconduct, abuse, and violence in youth hockey and other youth sports.

The S.T.A.R. Hockey program is meant to be presented and explained to ALL hockey participants in Michigan, including parents, players, coaches, officials, and administrators. It is also reviewed in Coaching and Officiating education programs. The Parent Code of Conduct form is a mandatory part of the registration process.

The mission of the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association's S.T.A.R. HOCKEY program is to provide a youth hockey environment in which all the individuals are treated with respect and dignity for the enjoyment and personal development of everyone.
