Membership timeline
The Western Wisconsin Hockey Conference is a high school athletic conference sponsoring boys hockey in west central Wisconsin. Founded for the 2025-26 season, the conference and its member schools are affiliated with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.
The Western Wisconsin Hockey Conference was formed in 2025 by six schools from two conferences who previously sponsored their own hockey competitions: the Coulee Conference (Black River Falls, Viroqua and West Salem) and the Mississippi Valley Conference (Avalanche Hockey, Onalaska and Tomah/Sparta). [1] Both conferences only had three schools each, which created difficulties in creating a full conference schedule. This new arrangement is intended to increase conference games from four to ten per season and allow for the scheduling of more games against opponents within the region. [2]
