This camp will be held at Space City Ice Station the week of June 7-11. Complete the registration form and deposit the completed form in the BAHHA black box located on the poll near customer service or give to your team manager.

Pro Ambitions Camp coming to SCIS

For those looking for a hockey camp, SCIS will be hosting the 3rd annual Pro Ambitions Hockey Camp. The camp will be June 7-June 11. Please visit Pro Ambitions for more information. There are also brochures available at the rink. BAHHA coaches as well as college players will be conducting this camp.

Space City Ice Station News

As some of you may or may not be aware, SCIS has been listed for sale; the rink has been in contact with BAHHA and provided this statement. Please know that we are confident that this will serve to improve the facility and in turn the program that BAHHA offers to its membership. We understand that this may cause concern as to the viability of our future, but please know that BAHHA operates as a separate entity which seeks to act in the best interest of all players, ours and yours. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and keep BAHHA membership up to date.
