Wellington Roller Hockey Association is a 501c3 all-volunteer, non-profit organization with the mission to provide a safe, ‘everyone-plays and plays-fairly’ environment. WRHA kids learn the sport of roller hockey and the sportsmanship needed to guide them through life. The Wellington Village Park rinks are the home rinks for WRHA.
Hockey provides kids an important alternative to other traditional sports. While physical fitness and competition are an important part of hockey, WHRA stresses teamwork, good sportsmanship and improving oneself, over winning. Parents and players volunteer to help in various aspects of the league, whether coaching, cleaning the rink, scorekeeping or helping in the equipment room or concession. Our older kids mentor the younger. Members also give back to the community. For example, WRHA members can be seen regularly volunteering to cleaning Wellington as part of the Wellington Preservation Coalition’s Adopt a Street program.
WRHA also offers a unique sport opportunity. Recognizing the need to let kids try out hockey without a huge up-front investment, WRHA offers equipment on a loaner program at no cost. A deposit secures the equipment and is returned when the equipment is returned.
WRHA provides the community an extremely affordable program. The registration fee for the very long Sep to Mar 2022-23 season for 15-20 game/practice-plus season is $150. Siblings $125. Goalies play for free. WRHA also offers a Learn to Skate/Play Hockey program for $75.
WRHA also includes special inter-city tournaments, with games against leagues in Stuart and Jupiter. This provides an opportunity like those available currently only available to Travel Players through regional & national tournaments such as NARCh, ECHO, 2Hot4Ice or State Wars.
