DYHA alum, Dave Spina made his NHL debut on Monday, September 17th with the Phoenix Coyotes. Dave was born and raised in Mesa and played Mites to Bantams for DYHA.  Dave played 4 years at Boston College and then 2 years in the American Hockey League. Most recently, Dave coached within our Goar Summer Hockey program.

Davy is exactly what Oceanside Ice Arena is about.  Helping a player live his dream."

- Holly Harrington, Powerskating Coach

This is a proud milestone for DYHA and hockey in Arizona. This is our first homegrown talent to play an NHL game. Congrats Dave from your friends at DYHA! See the article on phoenixcoyotes.com:

Please note that the "Jr. Roadrunners" referred to in the media articles is the team name of one of DYHA's previous travel hockey programs prior to the Phoenix Firebirds.  Same DYHA, different team name.
