WELCOME TO THE 2023 IHAAZ SEASON
WHAT'S NEW?
- The 2022 season IHAAZ will be kicking off in mid February bringing you 4 qualifying events in Yuma, Tucson, Queen Creek, and Peoria all leading up to our 2022 STATE FINALS event being held this June in the new Wheelhouse facility in Prescott Valley.
- Play as a series or drop in for a tournament: Each IHAAZ Qualifier events is its own stand alone tournament and is no longer part of a series. Teams may play one tournament or participate in all four events, the choice is theirs. Teams wishing to compete in the 2022 State Finals must play at least two qualifier events to be eligible. See below for more.
- Player Insurance Switching to Roller Hockey Alliance (RHA): Starting this season, IHAAZ will be moving our individual player coverage from AAU to RHA (Roller Hockey Alliance). With many IHAAZ players finding more opportunities to compete in other events outside our series, we will be changing our insurance coverage to RHA to better align with other events. More info about RHA and how to get your 20220 membership can be found in the registration section.
