The Grand Rapids Blades and the Grand Rapids Amateur Hockey Association are pleased to announce that we have joined forces to form a Bantam B hockey team.  The team will play as GR United in the U14 ADRAY league.  Their jerseys will sport a new logo that combines the traditional logos of GRAHA and the Grand Rapids Blades. 

GR United is the result of two associations working together in the competitive environment of youth hockey/youth sports so to be able to keep players skating in your local geographic area. We are excited to pool our resources and offer these young players a place to keep playing the game they love in a dynamic team environment.  Both associations have a common goal; to continue to teach the game of hockey and develop players for all who want to play the game. This team represents a partnership in effort to achieve this goal.

If you have any questions please reach out to either Jean Laxton (616-285-4600) or John Hoekstra (616-706-9453). More info to come.

GRAHA continues to work on improving our association and providing quality coaches and staff to assist in the development of players and communication and education to our members.

Richard Keyes will continue to be instrumental in running our ADM program as well as serving as our house director working directly with our coaches both on and off the ice.  GRAHA is the leader in the Grand Rapids area offering the best and largest Mite program and Richard is a large part of that success and development. Richard will also be working with several teams as their skills development coach. Richard will also provide power skating and will offer his KIIH skills clinics throughout the season.

Chris Green was appointed the general manager's assistant.  Chris will assist with coach recruitment, parent education and communication as well as serve as an administrative assistant to the general manager.  Chris will also help with power skating throughout the season.

GRAHA is very fortunate to have such great hockey staff with years of coaching and playing experience that will work with the general manager and board to ensure GRAHA has the best hockey program in the area.
