The North Hills Amateur Hockey Association (NHAHA) is the parent organization of Pittsburgh Viper Hockey, Viper Stars Hockey, and Esmark Stars AAA Hockey. The Viper Stars hockey teams are designed  to be a high-level Tier II select hockey program that bridges the gap between elite Tier I (AAA) travel hockey and house / rec hockey.

The program revived the Pittsburgh Viper Stars name and logo, which was previously associated with the organization’s Tier I (AAA) teams before they became Esmark Stars AAA Hockey six years ago. 

Our mission as a Tier II (AA) select program is to provide a competitive learning atmosphere that is based on player development.  At Viper Stars players get a foundation of development that lets them strive to be their best.  

Once tryout results are posted, players have 24 hours to accept or decline roster positions. At the conclusion of the 24 hour period, players will be deemed as accepting roster positions and their commitment checks will be cashed. 

To accept a position, players simply need to let the 24 hours expire and they will be rostered.

Players wishing to decline a roster position should forward an email with their name and tryout number to Christine George (nhahapresident@gmail.com) with the message "I am declining the roster position offered to me with the Squirts Vipers Stars".

Note: Players listed as alternates will not have their commitment checks cashed unless they are offered and accept a roster position.
