See our New To Hockey page for more information about ACYHA mite hockey for kids ages 4-9.

Girls Love Hockey Too!

Girls are welcome at all our Try Hockey For Free Events! 

ACYHA is excited to offer a hockey program exclusively for young girls in our U6 and U8 programs!  The U6/U8 programs focus on building all of the same skills as the traditional boys program, while also building on the social community that the girls thrive in -- both on and off the rink! Last year, we had nearly 60 girls participating in our U6/U8 program, and the feedback was overwhelming that they LOVED it! Encourage your daughter to come out and try hockey this season!!
