KCYHA is excited to announce our new Partnership with GuardLab.  We have worked with GuardLab to develop three customized mouth guards for each of our Clubs. You have the opportunity to pick your own design and add your name and number on the mouth guard to make it your very own. 15% of all proceeds from these premium mouth guards will be given back to KCYHA.

The Jr Mavs are excited to announce a new High School coaching team for the 2021-22 season! Watch for more announcements soon regarding the High School program!
