VYHA House League
The goal of Valley Youth Hockey Associations’ House League program is to teach children how to be better skaters, to learn how to play the game of hockey and to have fun doing so. VYHA utilizes a core of dedicated coaches to help our players master the fundamental skills essential to be better hockey players, while learning the basics of the game. VYHA House League is the perfect recreational hockey opportunity for beginning/intermediate hockey players, but also offers a chance for more advanced players to sharpen their hockey skills in a supportive environment. Practices for the VYHA House League program begin shortly after Labor Day. House League games start by mid-October and run through the end of the winter season in Late February.
The Registration "House League" is not currently available.
Practice Schedule for the 2022-2023 Season
2022-2023 House League Season is scheduled to tentatively start the week of September 11th, 2022.
The official schedule will be announced sometime in August.
