We want you to play Milton Youth Hockey!

We look forward to a great season!

2023-2024 Season Information

In Addition to our fabulous Learn to Skate Program, this year we have a big change in our program from years prior, we will be offering TWO team for children 8 and under. We will have a "House Travel team" and a "Home Team" Unfortunately, our numbers don't allow for us to field teams above this age level.  We are refocusing our efforts at the 8U level to rebuild and ultimately grow a stronger program.

What is a "House Team"?

A Home Team is a team that primarily practices and does not travel for games (or only travels on occasion).  

Why won't we travel this year?

For new players and parents, jumping right into travel hockey can be an overwhelming experience.  Our hope is that by starting with 2-3 practices a week versus 2 practices and 2 games every weekend, more families will be able to participate.

Our House Travel Team will skate 3 times per week including games & scrimmages.

Will our kids still have games?

Yes! We have games scheduled for House Travel, and are working on setting up some scrimmages towards the end of the season for our Home team! This will be a fun and engaging season and we look forward to seeing lots of growth, player development and smiling faces!

Where will we play?

We have secured ice at Gutterson Field House at the University of Vermont for Sunday Mornings.  This has traditionally been our home ice and it's an amazing experience for our players to play on the same ice as the Catamounts! Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon practices will be held at Highgate Arena.

Fees

If registering before September 30th: The total cost of the 2023-2024 Season for our Learn To Skate program is $200.00  

If registering before September 30th: The total cost of our 8U Home Team & 8U House Travel Team is $300.00.

There is a 50% Discount for multi-player families. The 50% discount would come off of the lowest priced program. (for example if you have a 8U & Learn to Skate player it would be $400 total)

If registering after September 30th there will be an additional $25.00 late fee per player. 

Our goal has always been to offer hockey at an affordable price, one way we do that is with required fundraising.  We realize fundraising is usually optional with other sports but ice rental is very expensive and fundraising helps offset those costs.

In previous years we have run a Christmas Tree Stand and required families to work 3 shifts per player.  We will be selling trees this year but reducing our number of days a week to accommodate our smaller size.  

This year there will be required fundraising and by registering for the 2023-2024 Season you are agreeing to do your part. New this year we are offering a buyout plan for families that cannot help with fundraising. Contracts went out with the welcome email, please sign and return. There will also be hard copies available at the first skate of the year.

Coaching and Volunteer Opportunities

We are a small organization run by volunteers, without volunteers our children would not have a hockey program.  We hope you will join us in providing a local option for our community to learn and play hockey!  Coaching youth sports does not require a lot of prior knowledge of the game, just patience and the willingness to learn!  There are plenty of other opportunities to help out if you aren't ready to tie on those skates just yet- we also have a board of directors and team managers. 

New Player Information

New Player information can be found on our New to MYHA? page found on the left side menu, on our home page.  This includes where to find hockey gear, as well as how often to sharpen skates.  We are always happy to outfit players with loaner gear at no extra charge.  Please don't hesitate to ask for help!
