The WVIHL has joined the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU)

What is the AAU?

"A non-profit organization that promotes amateur sports and physical fitness programs for people of all ages. The AAU was founded in 1888 by James E. Sullivan at the New York Athletic Club to establish standards and uniformity in amateur sports. The AAU's mission is to promote good sportsmanship and citizenship, and to offer opportunities for athletes and volunteers to develop to their highest level. The AAU has over 900,000 members and 100,000 volunteers nationwide, and offers programs in over 50 sports."

As a non-profit sports club, The WVIHL feels that the AAU more directly aligns with our philosophy of prioritizing FUN without losing sight of COMPETITIVENESS. Joining the AAU gives us the ability to control all aspects of our league, from the players and teams, to the on and off ice officials. We get more control while still ensuring our athletes and officials are covered with supplemental insurance in case of injury.

Our athletes yearly AAU membership is INCLUDED in their league membership. No more paying out of pocket and going through the hassle of remembering to renew every year. Every WVIHL season that starts after September 1 will renew your AAU membership as part of your WVIHL league registration.
