When does the season start and end?
Practices and games start at the beginning of September (with the exception of Mite House (formerly cross ice) & Girls U8 games that start in October). The hockey season typically ends in March but playoff games and championship games for the Valley League and Middlesex Yankee Conference League can run into mid-April.
Where are practices held?
Teams typically practice twice a week and generally, the younger the player, the earlier the practice. For instance, Mite players and Girls U8 players will practice at 5 or 6 pm. All teams at a level (e.g., Squirts) will typically practice together.
Securing ice time at local arenas is a challenge for an in-town program such as MYH. The contracted ice times for MYH are as follows:
