Our Youth Hockey Levels
Welcome to Middleton Youth Hockey! We're proud to offer educational, fun, and competitive hockey to the kids of the Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District in central Wisconsin. MYH offers hockey for kids as young as 3 years old and continues through teams for high school players. Our hockey is primarily based out of Bob Suter's Legacy20 Middleton Ice Arena, just northwest of Madison, WI.
Please read more below to learn more about our programs, which are divided by age level. If you have any questions, please email info@middletonyouthhockey.com or navigate to our Contact MYH page.

Learn to Play - Ages 3 to 6
Learn to Play is an introductory on-ice program for kids ages 3 to 6. This is generally the first stop for all little hockey players. New players are instructed in basic skating fundamentals and introduced to the game of hockey through fun, engaging practices. Skaters are split into three different developmental groups and are on the ice once per week, with nothing scheduled on holiday weekends.
Skaters aged 3-6 years who are new to skating & hockey.
On-ice sessions that focus on basic skill development & fun.
We generally offer four 8-10-week-long "seasons" throughout the year. Those seasons are approximately:
Autumn LTP: Mid-September - Mid-November
Winter LTP: Early December - End of February
Spring LTP: Mid-March - Mid-May

Cost: $100 per skater per season. Skater's first season ever is free for MCPASD kids!
