KOHA K-Wing and KOHA Bronco Travel Teams

The Kalamazoo Optimist Hockey Association (KOHA) will host 8 travel teams for the 2010/2011 season. All the travel teams except for the High School JV team participate in the Little Caesars Amateur Hockey League. The JV team participates in the Grand Rapids High School Junior Varsity League.

The travel program is a natural extension of KOHA’s House and House B (KOHA Flames) programs. Travel hockey offers an opportunity for players to play at a higher level of competition with similarly skilled players from other associations throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

Teams will usually practice twice during the week, play two games on weekends and travel to 3 or 4 out-of-town tournaments during the season. Depending on their age, teams will play between 40-50 games per season.

The KOHA Travel program is governed by the KOHA board of directors and Travel Director, Brian Tulik. Fundraising efforts are organized on a team-by-team basis and all teams participate in the yearbook fundraiser where they can sell advertising to local businesses to help offset the cost of the program.

Tryouts are held in the Spring and specific dates and times are posted to this website in March. If you have any questions regarding travel Hockey, please contact Dave Toth at (269)349-7825 or email info@koha.com.
