10U Girls Mavericks
Registering on a Phone
Note: registering may be easier on a computer. If you're using a phone, you'll find the registration links at the bottom of the page.
The 10U Mavericks is a developmental girls hockey program for players from Middleton and Verona. At this age, we focus heavily on individual skill development while helping players become more confident, creative, competitive, and connected teammates.
The game is becoming faster and more complex, but there is still plenty of time to develop. Our goal is to give players a positive environment where they can skate, handle the puck, make decisions, compete, try new things, and learn from mistakes.
Read MoreWe are proud to offer girls the opportunity to develop together in an all-girls hockey environment while building friendships and a strong hockey community across the two clubs.
USA Hockey's American Development Model and Long-Term Athlete Development principles guide our approach. We believe quality practice and meaningful repetitions are the foundation of player development, with competition used to reinforce and apply what players are learning.

10U Success Looks Like...
At 10U, success is about building a strong foundation and learning to love getting better.
We want players to skate with confidence, make simple hockey decisions, try new things, compete with enthusiasm, work through mistakes, and become great teammates.
For our Mavericks, success also means building friendships, supporting one another, and developing a strong sense of belonging within girls hockey.

2) Log in to (or create) your family MYH CrossBar account.
3) Register your player for the season with MYH in CrossBar.
4) Please let us know if you can help coach or volunteer. It takes a village. No experience necessary.

6) Sort equipment for the season. MYH offers a fantastic gear rental program. Locally, House of Hockey, Play-it-Again Sports, Pure Hockey, Facebook Marketplace, and Sideline Swap are great places to start your search for new & used hockey gear.
7) If you'd like other family members to receive MYH emails and access your skater's schedule & admin panel, create a CrossBar account for them and then link them to the account where you administer the youth hockey players in your family.
How We Structure 10U Hockey
Resources:
American Development Model at 10U-12U
ADM Program Structuring by Age Group
Our 10U Mavericks program emphasizes quality practice, individual skill development, hockey sense, athleticism, confidence, and positive competition.
Read MorePlayers need time and repetition to develop strong skating habits, puck skills, decision-making, and confidence. We use small-area games and game-like activities to give players opportunities to touch the puck, make decisions, compete, and learn.
We emphasize:
🏒 Individual skating, puck skills, passing, shooting, and hockey sense
🏒 Small-area games and competitive activities that maximize puck touches and decision-making
🏒 Opportunities for players to practice and compete with different teammates
🏒 Athleticism, resilience, teamwork, character, and a growth mindset
🏒 A positive environment where players can experiment, make mistakes, and learn
🏒 Developing confident hockey players while building connections among girls across Middleton and Verona
Why?
Players improve when they get meaningful repetitions in a positive environment.
At 10U, we're not trying to create finished hockey players. We're building the foundation they'll need as the game gets faster and more complex.
Beginning of the Season & Development Assessment
The Mavericks season begins in early September with an optional Mavericks Development Camp, giving players an opportunity to get back on the ice and begin preparing for the season while families still have flexibility around fall activities.
Development assessments are expected to take place in mid-September, with teams formed afterward.
Read MoreThe assessment process is intended to help coaches understand where each player is in their development and create teams that provide an appropriate level of challenge, meaningful competition, and a positive environment for continued growth.
We want players to have the opportunity to get comfortable on the ice, develop their skills, and build relationships with their teammates before the season becomes more competitive.
Volunteering
Middleton Youth Hockey is volunteer-run. Each 8U family is required to volunteer 7 hours for a single-skater family or 12 hours for a multi-skater family.
The volunteer deposit is $200 for one skater and $400 for two or more skaters. The deposit is returned when the required hours are completed.
We're always looking for coaches, managers, game volunteers, event helpers, board members, and others who want to help improve MYH.

Seven Ways You Can Make Squirts Great!
A final word for Mavericks Families
10U is about building a foundation—not finishing the job.
Players develop at different rates, and there is plenty of time for them to grow into the hockey players they will eventually become. Our job is to give them the opportunity to skate, handle the puck, make decisions, compete, experiment, and have fun while they're doing it.
Let them make mistakes. Let them try things. Let them learn.
And let them enjoy doing it together.
