• Youth Hockey Winter House Programs

Registration opens Monday, August 3 at 8 am

Glacier Ice Rink has transitioned to a new online registration system for the 26-27 season! 

You will need to create a new account before registering, as information from our previous system cannot be transferred.

2026-2027 Winter House Programs

Missoula Youth Hockey offers winter in-house hockey programs for players ages 5 through 18. These programs provide weekly practices and games, allowing players to learn and enjoy hockey while developing personal and team cooperation skills.

Players looking for a higher level of competition may be interested in our House Plus (info below) or travel hockey programs.

Program Details

Age Divisions

Ages are approximate. USA Hockey divisions are based on birth year.

  • 6U (Termite): Ages 5–6
  • 8U (Mite): Ages 7–8
  • 10U (Squirt): Ages 9–10
  • 13U (Pee Wee): Ages 11–13
  • Bantam/High School: Grades 9–12

Program Information

  • Termite, Mite, Squirt, and Peewee: Players receive two ice sessions each week and a jersey to keep at the end of the season. House hockey teams compete locally, with no travel required. Players looking for additional ice time and tournament opportunities can participate in our House Plus program (see below for details).
  • Bantam/High School: Teams play one game a week and finish the season with playoffs to determine the season champion. Players are placed on teams within the first two weeks of the season and receive jerseys that must be returned at season end.
  • Girls House: Open to female players of all ages and abilities. Players practice and play games once a week throughout the winter season.

Recommendations for New Players

Players with no hockey experience should complete at least one Learn to Play Hockey session before entering the house program. House players should be able to perform most of Learn to Skate USA’s Hockey 1 and 2 skills.

If you’re unsure whether your player is ready, we’re happy to help evaluate their skills and recommend the best fit.
