Players will practice together one weekday evening per week and take part in several weekend scrimmages or games against nearby community programs. The emphasis is on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and having fun - not long travel schedules or competition.

Whether a player is continuing from Jumpstart!, returning to hockey after time away, or simply looking for an affordable, lower-commitment way to stay in the game, Hometown Hockey offers a place to grow, compete, and make friends. Every player receives meaningful ice time, supportive coaching, and opportunities to build confidence on and off the ice.

Our program goal is simple: to provide a true hometown hockey experience where every player can continue to develop, enjoy the game, and be part of a team that values effort, development, and fun.

4) Please let us know if you can help coach or volunteer. It takes a village. No experience necessary.

5) Download the free CrossBar mobile app (which pairs with our website and will provide access to schedules, communication tools, etc.) from your favorite mobile app store. Here are the links to the Apple Store version & Google Play version.

6) Sort equipment for the season. MYH offers a fantastic gear rental program for MCPASD skaters. Locally, 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.

We're always, always, always looking for more help to improve our programs, the quality of education & competition we can offer our hockey players, communication with our hockey families & community, and more!

We understand that your families are super busy. We know hockey is expensive. We understand that you work, run a household, care for family members, volunteer elsewhere, and so much more! If you can find a few extra hours during the hockey season (or off-season) to help us improve Middleton Youth Hockey - we would love to know more. Email info@middletonyouthhockey.com to learn more. Thank you!
