Juneau Douglas Ice Association’s youth hockey season is underway at Treadwell Ice Arena.
JDIA just completed a preseason workout last month and quickly transitioned into a regular season scheduled to run through March. Next spring, JDIA will host an Alaska State Hockey Association state tournament for the age 14-and-under, Division A category.
The tournament is expected to draw 10-12 teams from around the state.
