Congratulations to the newly elected LAHA Board members:
Fred Roach
Tracy Thompson
 
Thank you to all the candidates for your support of LAHA, and thank you to the membership for voting.  Please support your new board members during their tenure.
 
Also, an incredible thank you to Mark Rochester, President, and Eric Martens, Vice President, for countless years of much appreciated service to LAHA!  Mark has given unselfishly of himself to LAHA for years in his role as President.  He has worked exceptionally with Coaches, Managers, players and parents, dealt excellently with the County to resolve untold numbers of issues, and deftly navigated numerous issues at the local and state level.  Mark's efforts brought the Renegades junior hockey Fusion Series to Los Alamos, Stick and Puck sessions to the weekly LAHA schedule, and brought about County investment in the rink and parking lot through the Capital Improvement Program.  He has been a ceaseless advocate for the Los Alamos Hockey Association, solely with the intent of the betterment of the program for all youth who've learned to skate and play hockey in Los Alamos.  Without Mark, our program wouldn't be where it is today--inarguably the most successful youth hockey program in the region.
 
Eric has devoted himself nonstop to the development of girls hockey in Los Alamos and northern New Mexico.  He has grown a near-extinct program into a thriving endeavor at both Los Alamos and other associations in New Mexico and southern Colorado.  Eric has successfully recruited quality players, coaches and volunteers to the program, invested in personal relationships with associations throughout northern New Mexico and Colorado, and helped developed quality girl players in our association, never failing to offer a ride to yet another summer camp destination.  Likewise, without Eric, our girls program wouldn't be where it is today--inarguably the most successful girls youth hockey program in the region.
 
Thank you Mark and Eric for your invaluable contributions to LAHA!
 
The new board will be installed at the next LAHA Board meeting.

Congratulations to the Los Alamos Hilltoppers on their recent win over the Taos Ice Tigers at the NMIIHL State Championship game.

Despite outshooting the Ice Tigers 38-10 the game was a tight one.   Nevin Gupta kept the Hilltoppers in the game by scoring a goal in the first period as well as the second period.  The Ice Tigers led 3-2 until the last minute of the third period skating 4 on 4 with each team serving a minor penaty.   With 58 seconds left Coach Wehner pulled his goalie and added an extra skater.   The added skater created enough pressure for Cory Schramm to score the game tying goal .  After a scoreless overtime the game went to a shoot out.    Nevin Gupta scored again with an amazing goal giving the lead to the Hilltoppers and Zealand Walterscheid capped off the win by denying all five of the Taos Ice Tigers' shooters.
