The Missoula Area Youth Hockey Association offers two avenues for youth to participate in winter hockey programs:
The House program provides all skaters with an equal opportunity to enjoy the game of hockey and develop personal and team cooperation skills.
The Travel program allows players to compete at an advanced level and to enhance team play by integrating each player’s skills. Equal ice time for all players is not a requirement in the Travel Program. Tryouts are required for all travel programs, which begin in October.
2021-2022 Winter House Programs
House program fees include two ice sessions each week for Termite, Mite, Squirt and Peewee players. Players at these levels receive jerseys that they may keep.
Bantam/High School players are placed on teams within the first two weeks of the season and play weekly games, that end in a best-of-three series championship. The program provides jerseys for these players that must be returned at the end of the season.
Schedule
The house season runs 14-weeks – November 1, 2021 through February 16, 2022 – with a two-week break over the holidays between December 20 and January 3. Termites, Mites and Squirts can choose either a full season or half-season: November 1–December 15, 2021 or January 3-February 16, 2022.
