Buffalo Wild Wings Fundraiser for DHD

By

Desert Hockey Development (DHD) is an all volunteer organization that strives to offer free hockey clinics and events to youth in Arizona. While we run a tight ship on a shoestring budget, we still have expenses we need to defray.

Buffalo Wild Wings - Glendale, AZDuring our Coyotes Street Hockey Summer League events on selected Saturdays during the summer of 2015, Buffalo Wild Wings in Westgate has generously offered DHD ten percent of the total check for food and drinks for any customers with the coupons provided on this page.

If you’re going to be in the area and plan to have a meal or some drinks, please consider supporting DHD by downloading and printing the coupons and patronizing Buffalo Wild Wings in Westgate (in Glendale, AZ) while you’re there.

Each coupon is valid for a specific date, we’ll update the site with the correct coupon for the next upcoming date as we march toward the final event of our hockey league season on August 8.

The dates our coupons are valid are June 20, July 11, July 25, and August 8. Please be aware each date has a different coupon, so if you hit Buffalo Wild Wings on more than one Saturday, you need a different coupon.

Thanks!

Kids Hockey Clinics at Gila River Arena

DHD and Coyotes team up for FREE ball hockey at Gila River Arena

Desert Hockey Development was happy to have FREE events in the arena where the Coyotes play last year and we’re honored to have been invited back this summer to do it again.

Coyotes-Hockey-DevelopmentWe have five events scheduled at Gila River Arena this summer. They are all on Saturdays beginning June 6. Sign up for our mailing list to be notified of changes and upcoming events.

Kids four to fourteen are encouraged to attend. We’ll be playing ball hockey exactly where the Arizona Coyotes play, it’s a real thrill. No equipment or prior experience is necessary.

Kids should wear sneakers and be prepared for physical activity. We’ll make sure they stay hydrated.

Our coaches are the best, they will split the kids up into logical groups based on age, size, and prior experience. Boredom is not something we like, so all the kids will be busy and having fun doing different things. So, if you have somebody in your family that’s a hockey wizard or has never played hockey, bring him or her along.

We stress safety and sportsmanship, developing skills and techniques is secondary. We always finish up with a scrimmage where EVERYBODY gets to play.

We have a limit of eighty three (83) kids per clinic. Inclusion in the hockey activities is on a first-come first-served basis, so we recommend pre-registration (using the form below) and arrival at least 1/2 hour before the gates open.

We meet at Gate 3 on the north side of the building (facing Westgate “Fountain Park”). The doors usually remain locked until just before the event begins.

If your children are interested in playing on a team (we will match skill levels) for all five event dates, we have the Coyotes Summer Ball Hockey League on the same days just for you! Check it out!

We hope to see you there!
