of youth hockey both within the group and around the Sioux City community. In 1990 Bob and Sarah would move to Sioux Falls where
 they again worked their youth hockey magic for the revamped Sioux Falls Youth Hockey program.

*****The Final Decision for a new Hockey Organization*****
    
These two jersey swatches cut from a hockey supply catalog were the final two colors for the newly formed SYHA. While we have has several green
 variations over the years, the original choice was that of the California Golden Seals

********************SYHA Jacket Patches********************

Jacket patches were awarded at the end of each season.  These were proudly displayed on our "Hockey Jackets". The more patches-the cooler the jacket!!!
These jackets were the traditional green with yellow and white striping in the collar and cuffs. The back always carried the large SYHA patch. The other smaller
patches were worn anyplace that mom could get them to fit!!!

In the early  80's SYHA started a "Letter" program. After three years of membership, each player was awarded a five inch tall letter "S". After that, each season
a player was then awarded a yellow bar to add under his letter or on the sleeve. A large sized letter was also awarded to varsity players as final rosters were
announced for that season.


This year end tournament pitted all the SYHA House League teams in competition. This tournament took place at the completion of each season.
                    

The City Wide Tournament was a mid-season meeting of all the house league teams.

All SYHA players were free to were any patches on their hockey jackets the wanted.  Through out the season, individual teams, organizations or
tournaments would give out different patches to SYHA players.  These are just a few of the many that graced our very coveted Hockey Jackets
