JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — When it comes to ice hockey, Jackson Hole is fast becoming the bully on the block. Talk about dominance.
This winter season wrapped up with Jackson Youth Hockey winning everything that was winnable. Eric Ballard heads the program that boasted six state titles this season including High School Varsity, U19 Girls, Bantam A, Pee Wee A, Pee Wee B Black “C,” and Squirt A. An unbelievable year.

For the varsity boys, they also locked in another state championship. All-state selections from the varsity and junior varsity squad include Gus Lowham, Justin Dufault, Anton Kudar, Tommy Caruso, and JV Boys team captain Phoebe Alva Rosa.
Finally, how about the big boys? The Jackson Hole Moose, playing in the Senior A division of the USA Hockey Association, wrapped up their 2021-22 campaign with wins over the Vermont Flex last weekend to finish with 8 straight wins and an overall record of 22-4.
