NMAHA wants to have a July Summer Skills Development Clinics and is conducting a survey for possible participants.

The MAC has stringent protocols in place for everyone that enters the facility and we will limit numbers on the ice as well but we also want anyone out there that wants to skate to have the opportunity. Due to current restrictions we will have a zero contact format with the emphasis on skill development within age divisions. Everyone should contact me with any questions or concerns. There will be a fee involved with participation and we will keep this amount as low as possible but it is necessary to afford the ice time. Thank you 

Again we want to emphasize that these ice times are open to every youth in New Mexico. 

Here’s the actual registration link for NMAHA Skills Development Clinics.
