BBYHA Travel Team

The BBYHA encourages a lifelong love of hockey through age-appropriate practice and competition.

8U Hockey

U8 hockey emphasizes the FUNdamentals: fun and participation in half-ice games (from the goalie crease to the center red line). The small-area game gives players a chance to develop good skating fundamentals, puck control, and teamwork.

10U Hockey

Athletes at this stage are learning to train. A focus on accelerated learning of coordination and fine motor control in training helps players transition the hockey skills they learn in practice to the game environment. Coaches focus on team-building with a skills emphasis on refining basic skating and puck control.

12U Hockey

We emphasize effective team building, and the social interaction that supports it, in order to develop a range of individual and group tactics. Coaches balance a focus on team-building with individual strength, speed, and flexibility.

14U Hockey

Athletes at this stage continue to integrate individual and group tactics as they move into a more competitive environment; this may mean a narrower focus on hockey-specific training outside the rink. Coaches balance team-building with individual strength, speed and flexibility.
