WELCOME TO BYH
Brookline Youth Hockey is the home of community-based youth hockey for families in Brookline, MA, and surrounding communities.
We offer two Learn-to-Play Programs, as well as Travel Hockey.
Brookline Learn-to-Play
From December to March, we offer a Learn-to-Play Program that meets three times per week at our beautiful outdoor Jack Kirrane Rink and the nearby indoor rink at Warrior Ice Arena. After one season of Learn-to-Play, players are typically ready to transition to travel hockey!
Bruins Learn-to-Play Partnership
For players who are completely new to hockey, a great way to on-ramp is through our partnership with the Boston Bruins Learn-to-Play Program at Warrior Ice Arena. Players receive full gear that is theirs to keep, as well as 4 instructional lessons, with a fall session for all players and a spring girls-only session. Players typically follow this with the Brookline Learn-to-Play program (see above).
Travel Hockey
Our travel program is home to teams at each level of hockey, ranging in age from Mites (ages 7&8), Squirts (ages 9&10), Peewees (ages 11&12), Girls U12 (ages 11&12), Girls U14 (ages 13&14), and Bantams (ages 13&14). Our season runs from September through March.
We also run 2 short-season teams (Girls U18 and Midgets) for high-school players, which run from September through the hand-off to high-school hockey at Thanksgiving.
Travel players should expect 2 team practices, one skills session offered by a professional skills provider, and 1 or 2 games per week. We also offer goalie clinics at no extra charge. We encourage players to be multi-sport athletes and to pursue other activities, while prioritizing hockey during the winter months.
Evaluations for Travel Hockey:
We attempt to roster every player. Spring evaluations are necessary because we offer multiple teams at each level. All players must register for these tryouts in advance. The non-refundable tryout fee is applied towards the season tuition.
If you're new to the area or missed our tryout period, contact us at any time so we can get you evaluated at one of our practices and placed on a team.
