Coach/Volunteer Registration

Welcome to the coach/volunteer registration for the Snake River Yetis youth hockey program. Our program is focused on encouraging local competition for youth at all skill levels. We strive to keep our cost as low as possible to encourage both new and experienced players to participate in this sport.

We are the only youth hockey organization in Eastern Idaho who offers local competition with zero travel commitment. Players participate against other local teams in the Snake River Showdown Championship League to determine who will take home the Yeti Cup.
