Welcome to the Belmont Youth Hockey Association ("BYHA") website. BYHA was established in 1975 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the character development of Belmont youth through teaching, coaching and playing ice hockey. We welcome players of all levels of ability to join our program and we're grateful for the support and participation of generations of coaches, volunteers, parents and players.  We hope you will review information about our program within this site and consider participating.

Our organization is managed by a volunteer board of directors and operated by a group of more than 50 volunteer coaches.   We offer programs for children between the ages of 5 and 19 and we are a member of Massachusetts Hockey’s District 9 and USA Hockey. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards
Areti Fotis
BYHA President

24” Goalie Pads Wanted    A number of younger players in BYHA have expressed interest in trying the goalie position and so we’re looking for pads that would be appropriate for Mite (U8) and Squirt (U10) players - which are 24” pads.  If you have some you’d be willing to donate to the program, please contact Schuyler Wiggin at schuyler@quebradabaking.com
