Millbrook Youth Hockey Association (MYHA) is a non-profit organization that has been teaching kids to play hockey for more than 45 years.Our mission is to educate our players about this exciting game by developing character, loyalty, sportsmanship, a sense of fair play and physical fitness through participation in our programs.
MYHA was started by a group of local residents who had a love for the game and the children who played it which continues to this day. MYHA is always looking for volunteers for various functions from the Board of Directors down to the running of the scoreboard during games.
As with all volunteer organizations, the more input and assistance people are willing to give, the more your child will get out of the program. With all new ideas come improvements that we all can see for the years to come as we continue to grow MYHA. Should you wish to assist in any way, please contact any of our present board members via the "Board of Directors" tab or send your ideas through the "Feedback" tab on the left hand side of this page.
As always, "Thank You" for your assistance and dedication to MYHA.

Our MYHA Learn to Play Hockey program is for those children who have had very little knowledge about the game of ice hockey. We will work on basic skills such as skating stride, how to hold a stick, passing and shooting , all in a fun learning environment, the ice rink. The cost of the program is $100 for the season and will be on Sunday afternoons from November through February. We also have a limited quantity of previously loved equipment for your children to use if necessary, which can be used on a first come first serve basis.
Our Mites Cross Ice Program is designed by USA Hockeys American Development Model to help to maximize the development of the skills necessary to learn the traditional game of ice hockey. With the game being "cross ice" it gives the children more "touches" of the puck while developing a better understanding of the game. The Mites Cross Ice Program will run November through February at a cost of $300 per child. All games will be cross ice and will be played on Saturdays and Sundays. We will also participate in the HVHL (Hudson Valley Hockey League) sponsored Cross Ice Jamborees throughout the season.
Our MYHA Advanced Cross Ice Program is intended for 8 year old players who have already participated in a cross ice program. Like a travel program, those interested in the Advanced Cross Ice team will have to be evaluated in order to participate. This program will play a "modified" travel schedule in which the second half of the season will incorporate some full ice games against other similiar teams throughout the area. Players will have preseason ice in September and October and the beginning of November. The cost of the program will be $450 per child and the ice schedule will be one day during the week as well as Saturdays and Sundays from November through February. The Advanced Cross Ice Program will also participate in the HVHL (Hudson Valley Hockey League) sponsored Cross Ice Jamborees as well as a full ice tournament during the season.

The Millbrook Bantams took the title at the annual Simsbury Holiday Tournament by going a perfect 3-0 in the preliminary round with victories over Southeastern, Simsbury and Wallingford. Their perfect record gave them the top seed heading into Tuesday's championship game
with local rival Brewster.
Just minutes before the opening face-off the word of the Millbrook Squirts winning their championship went through the Bantam locker room which gave the boys all the motivation they needed. The team started out fast and never slowed down. After the final horn sounded the scoreboard showed another convincing victory. The final score was 7-0 in favor of the Knights.
Congratulations to the MYHA Squirts and coaches for their championship win
at the Simsbury Holiday Tournament, and then to follow it up with a championship at the
Plainsmen Tournament in White Plains!! Go Knights!!
Congratulations to the MYHA Pee Wee Team for winning the Championship game in the Clifton Park "Between the Pipes" Tournament Thanksgiving weekend. The Pee Wee's went 4-0 over the weekend and won the dramatic Championship Game against Berkshire 3-2. Great Job!
