Thunder Central
Date Updated: 7/9/2026
Welcome to Thunder Central
Thunder Central is your one-stop destination for the latest news, events, volunteer opportunities, fundraising activities, important dates, and association updates from the Viroqua Area Hockey Association.
Our goal is to make it easier for families to stay informed by providing a central location for the information you need most. Rather than searching through emails, social media posts, or announcements, you'll be able to find current updates, upcoming opportunities, and important reminders right here.
As our association continues to grow, we hope Thunder Central becomes the first place families visit to learn what's happening, discover ways to get involved, and stay connected with the Thunder community.
Be sure to check back often, as this page will be updated regularly throughout the season with new information, volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, registration reminders, and more.
Thank you for being part of the Thunder family. Together, we're building a stronger hockey community for our players and families.
Go Thunder!

Support the Viroqua Thunder Golf Outing
The Viroqua Area Hockey Association (VAHA) Golf Outing is an important fundraiser that helps support our players, maintain our facility, and keep youth hockey affordable for local families.
You don't have to be a golfer to make a difference. We are currently seeking support through:
- Hole Sponsorships
- Raffle and Silent Auction Basket Donations
- General Monetary Contributions
Whether you're a local business, a hockey family, an alumni player, or a community member looking to support youth athletics, your contribution directly impacts the future of Thunder Hockey. Every donation—large or small—helps us continue providing opportunities for players of all ages to learn, compete, and grow through the game of hockey.
Interested in Sponsoring or Donating?
