WHO WE ARE

We're a non-profit, volunteer-run organization with one goal: to get your kids on the ice and having fun. The BBYHA ice hockey program serves the city of Bloomington and the surrounding counties of Monroe, Morgan, Lawrence, Owen, and Greene.

We offer directly or partner to offer several hockey experiences:

• House Hockey is for kids who are interested in local-only hockey. Skating experience is helpful but not necessary.
• Hockey initiation is for kids who are just getting started on the ice. Learn to skate and wield a hockey stick at the same time! (Best for kids 6 and under)
• Travel hockey with the Blades is an add-on to our house hockey program and gives kids a bit more time on the ice.

Our mission

We provide an equal opportunity for all children to play hockey in a competitive, organized manner, under the instruction and supervision of qualified coaches, with the goal of developing athletic skills, a sense of citizenship, sportsmanship, and fair play.

Our teams' successes in competitive play come from the community they build in fun, active practices that emphasize team building.

Our Partners

• All of our coaches and players are registered members of USA Hockey, which focuses on team building, age-appropriate athlete development and good citizenship in addition to hockey skills.
• Together with the City of Bloomington, we sponsor a no-travel house hockey league. All of our 12U/10U/8U travel-team players participate in this house-hockey program so they can get more time on the ice with a larger group of peers.
