Our mission is to promote Minor Hockey in Richmond for participants of all ages & skill levels, building confidence by developing our players, referees & coaches, while competing in a fun, safe & sportsmanlike environment.

Richmond Minor Hockey Association (RMHA) was established in 1965. We are a Tier One association and we are members in good standing of Hockey Canada, B.C. Hockey and Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association. Our organization is administered exclusively by volunteers. The Board of Directors of Richmond Minor Hockey Association is dedicated to providing the youth of Richmond British Columbia with the best hockey experience possible.
