Player Season Registration
Welcome to registration for the Snake River Yetis youth hockey program!
The Snake River Yetis are an AAU Youth Hockey Program. By participating in AAU Hockey, players gain access to a well-organized program and comprehensive player insurance through the Amateur Athletic Union. As the sole AAU hockey program in the State of Idaho, the Snake River Yetis offer advantages not found in other local hockey programs, such as extensive insurance coverage, certified coaching, and flexibility to instruct the full game of hockey to strengthen player growth through top-notch training sessions focused on skill development and teamwork.
Our program is focused on encouraging local competition for youth at all skill levels. The Yetis are the only youth hockey organization in Eastern Idaho who offers the opportunity to participate in a full season of local competition with zero travel commitment. Yetis players participate against local teams in the Snake River Showdown throughout the season to determine who will get to raise the Yeti Cup.
We strive to keep our cost as low as possible to encourage both new and experienced players to participate in this sport.
