50 YEARS OF HOCKEY AT AFFTON

In 1972, a group of dedicated volunteers came together to build an ice rink as part of the Affton Athletic Association. Affton Hockey is proud to celebrate 50 years of community and teamwork. Through this video we share memories and stories of our history told by players, coaches, parents, and others who have had a significant impact on our club. Thank you to our families, both past and present, for your continued support of Affton Hockey.
