Mite Hockey Equipment Loan Program

2023-2024 Season Equipment Return ( if not playing in Spring/Summer Clinics)

Saturday, April 6th

9:00-11:00am

How does the ACYHA equipment loan program work?

Our equipment program is FREE! However, we do require that families provide a $150 deposit check made payable to ACYHA. This check will remain uncashed until equipment is returned. Provided that all of the equipment is returned, your check will be shredded, or returned uncashed! We will check-in with families at the end of the season to see if your player will keep equipment for Spring/ Summer leagues, or return it and get fitted again next season.

Optional Suggestion: Base Layers

Optional Suggestion: Base Layers can be helpful to avoid over-heating while on the ice, and don't bunch up when players get gear on and off.
