About Vail Junior Hockey Association (dba Vail Mountaineer Hockey Club)
VMHC provides recreational and competitive hockey programming for boys and girls in Eagle County and the Vail Valley, operating teams, clinics and community events and partnering with local recreation districts to deliver ice time and coaching resources.
The organization has been tax-exempt for multiple decades (EIN 84-0779148) and marks a multi-decade history of serving youth hockey in the valley; recent seasons have included skills clinics, girls-only programming, annual tournaments and a returning Avalanche Alumni Weekend fundraiser.
Facing Dobson Ice Arena renovations for the 2025–2026 season, VMHC has shifted some operations to Eagle Pool & Ice Rink and launched fundraising and scholarship efforts to preserve affordable access for local families.
