Apple Valley Hockey Association
The Apple Valley Hockey Association has merged with Burnsville to form the Apple Valley Burnsville Hockey Association (AVBHA). The official site (avbhockey.com) is SportsEngine-hosted and lists programs, teams, calendars, a 2024/2026 handbook, registration links, news, and board contact emails.

Ideal Applicant
A small, Minnesota-based youth hockey program or school-affiliated hockey team seeking modest operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Based in Minnesota or serving the local Apple Valley/Lakeville area.
- • Clear hockey- or youth sports-related funding need (equipment, team expenses, tournaments).
- • Budget request consistent with recent grants (around $10,000).
- • Local credibility or existing relationship with the funder's community or schools.
Geography
All observed grants in the latest year went to Minnesota recipients (one state only), so the footprint is geographically local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct recipients (two grants), a small and narrowly focused recipient set in the observed year.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover across years is unavailable because only one year is observed; there are no public application guidelines but a website and contact routes exist, so new entrants may be able to make an approach though selection appears locally relationship-driven.
