Delano Area Youth Hockey Association (DAYHA) is an independent, nonprofit, volunteer organization located in Delano Minnesota that is affiliated with USA Hockey and Minnesota Hockey (MH).

To accomplish this, DAYHA provides an organization where youths ages 3-18, currently residing within Delano and surrounding communities, can play organized hockey.

Always start with your head coach if you have questions about on-ice issues.
Practice times and sometimes games can change, so check the website frequently.
Schedulers will only take feedback from managers, coaches and board members.
You can contact any board member at any time with a question or concern
