Vermont has a deep community-hockey tradition, with pathways from Try Hockey for Free and Learn to Play through local association hockey, state competition and New England District player development.
How youth hockey is organized in Vermont
The Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association coordinates USA Hockey programs and competition in the state, supporting local associations, state tournaments, player development and grow-the-game initiatives.
Starting and developing
VSAHA promotes Try Hockey for Free and Bruins Academy Learn to Play opportunities. Players can progress into local association hockey, girls hockey, state championships and, when eligible, New England District development opportunities.
Finding the right path
YouthHockeyCenter can help families discover Vermont clubs, rinks, training, tournaments and events while directing them to the organizations responsible for current registration and scheduling.
