We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the setup. Everything was extremely organized and we enjoyed all that the tournament had to offer. It didn't end to bad for us either.
Thanks again,

We had three teams attend and the kids had a great time. Games were on time, competitive and the accommodations were great. First tournament for a number of our players and they and their families had a great experience.

We’ll be back.

The youth hockey programs at the San Diego Ice Area are fun and a great experience for the entire family. All the on ice staff and volunteers are friendly and know the game. They have helped my son become a better hockey player

SDIA is San Diego's premiere hockey facility. With former professional players coaching, a caring and friendly staff, and a winning track record - Hockey Director Craig Sterling and his team of pros are awesome. If you love hockey, 'this is the place to be!'

"We have been associated with SDIA for 15 years and both my boys have started with Coach Craig and played all their hockey at SDIA. There is no better family atmosphere than at SDIA - my son with autism never would have played a team sport had it not been for this rink - under Craig Sterling and the fantatstic people at SDIA he played 8 seasons of organized hockey - truly unheard of for a kid with autism!
This rink is our extended family and we are proud to be associated with SDIA and all the fantastic people who make this a second home for all of us."

There is ample opportunity not only to learn and to improve, but to have fun in a friendly and caring environment. If you want to be on the ice, there is no other place to be in San Diego!

 thanks to Craig and the SDIA Oilers for hosting such a great Mite B Division at the Fun in the Sun Tournament this Labor Day! We were apprehensive coming so far (Santa Rosa) and hoping for true "Mite B" competition, and we are so glad we made the trip. The tourney was well run and both facilities top notch. We want to come back to SDIA again!
