You can find a lot on YouthHockeyCenter just by browsing.
But creating a YHC account gives you a more useful way to stay connected with the hockey information, organizations, and opportunities that matter to you.
Whether you are a hockey parent, player, coach, team manager, tournament organizer, rink operator, trainer, or club representative, your My YHC account becomes your personal starting point on YouthHockeyCenter.
Make YHC More Personal
Youth hockey is local, even when you are using a national hockey website.
Families usually care most about the rinks, clubs, events, tournaments, training opportunities, and organizations in the places they follow.
With a YHC account, you can set a Favorite State so your account experience can stay connected to the hockey community you follow most closely while still giving you access to opportunities across America.
Save Hockey Organizations You Want to Follow
When you find a club, rink, training provider, tournament organization, or other hockey organization that matters to you, your YHC account gives you a place to keep track of it.
Your Saved Organizations area helps turn YHC from something you simply search into a resource you can return to throughout the season.
That can be useful when your family regularly follows the same clubs, facilities, trainers, or hockey organizations.
Manage Your YHC Activity in One Place
Your My YHC area provides a central location for your activity on the site.
From your account, you can manage your profile and account settings, review newsletter preferences, access saved organizations, view saved events and tournaments, and keep track of submissions associated with your account.
Instead of treating every visit like a brand-new search, My YHC gives you a consistent home base.
Stay Connected Through Newsletter Preferences
Youth hockey opportunities can change throughout the year.
Camps open registration. Tryouts are announced. New tournaments appear. Organizations schedule clinics and special events.
Your YHC account includes Newsletter Settings that let you manage National and Favorite-State newsletter preferences so you can stay connected with the hockey information most relevant to you.
YHC Accounts Are Useful for Coaches and Team Managers Too
YHC is not only a directory for families.
Coaches and team managers can use their accounts when participating in YHC features designed to connect teams and organizations.
That includes tools such as Matchboard, where hockey teams can post or respond to needs such as finding an opponent or locating players.
Having those activities associated with an account makes it easier to manage your YHC participation from one place.
Organization Representatives Can Do Even More
If you represent a hockey organization, your YHC account can become an important management tool.
Eligible organization representatives can use YHC’s Claim This Listing process to establish a confirmed relationship with an organization listed on the site.
Once that relationship is approved, organization tools can help authorized representatives manage appropriate listing information and interact with additional YHC features.
That could include clubs, tournament organizations, training providers, rinks and facilities, or other hockey organizations.
A confirmed organization relationship also helps YHC distinguish official organization activity from ordinary public submissions.
Organizer Tools Bring Provider Features Together
Users involved in running hockey programs or events can access Organizer Tools through My YHC.
These tools provide a central place for provider-related activity, including organization management and eligible submissions.
For example, an authorized tournament organizer can use YHC to create a Last-Minute Tournament Deal when a division urgently needs another team.
That is especially valuable when a late withdrawal leaves a tournament one registration short and the organizer needs to find a replacement quickly enough to keep the division alive.
Other YHC provider tools can also be connected to your account as the site continues to grow.
Keep Track of Your Submissions
A YHC account also makes it easier to keep your contributions organized.
The My Submissions area provides a place to review activity connected with your account rather than trying to remember what was submitted and when.
For active coaches, managers, organizers, and hockey providers, that becomes increasingly useful as they use more of YHC’s tools.
One Account Across YouthHockeyCenter
One of the biggest benefits of creating an account is simplicity.
Your My YHC account connects the different parts of your experience:
Your profile. Your favorite state. Your newsletter preferences. Your saved organizations. Your saved events and tournaments. Your submissions. Your organization relationships. Your organizer tools.
As YouthHockeyCenter continues bringing more youth hockey information and tools together, your account gives you one place to manage how you use them.
Create Your YHC Account
If you regularly use YouthHockeyCenter to find youth hockey opportunities across America, creating an account makes YHC more useful.
Families can personalize their experience and save organizations they care about. Coaches and managers can access team-focused tools. Organization representatives can establish confirmed relationships with their programs. Tournament directors and other hockey providers can access the tools built for running and promoting hockey opportunities.
And all of it starts from My YHC.
Create your YHC account and turn YouthHockeyCenter into your personal home base for youth hockey.
