Northern Berkshire Youth Hockey is excited to open registration for our summer 2025 programs.  All programs start the week of June 16 when the Peter Foote Rink reopens. 

This summer we will offer three programs.  The programs will give all of our youth hockey players the chance to get out on the ice in a fun setting.

Wednesday Nights
Learn to Play Program @ 6:30 PM
Our summer learn to play is for players that would like to work on the basic skills needed to play hockey.  Players will work on skating, puck handling, passing, and shooting.  Participants should have basic skating skills.
8U and 10U Skills @ 7:30 PM
This program is for players that have played or are looking to play travel hockey.  The program will build on the skills needed at the 8U and 10U level.  

Thursday Nights
Summer 3v3 10U/12U (@ 6:30 PM) and 14U/18U (@ 7:30 PM)
Our summer 3v3 will offer two levels 10U/12U and 14U/18U (this level will be a NO check level).  Games will be half ice and teams will be kept small so that players get ice time.  Goalies will be FREE please email nbyhlwebmaster@gmail.com to get a goalie waiver code.   

Please note that we have limited space in all of these programs so sign up early, as these programs tend to fill up quickly.

Since 1969 Northern Berkshire Youth Hockey (NBYHL) has been a league that has promoted and developed the game of hockey among the youth of Northern Berkshire County, Massachusetts, and Southern Vermont.  Our league has travel teams (Black Bears) for boys and girls from age 6 through high school.  We also boast a learn to skate and learn to play program for ages 4-10. 

The purpose of the league is to provide the best available instruction in order to teach the game of hockey, stress the importance of physical fitness, and provide the core values of USA Hockey: sportsmanship; respect for the individual; integrity; pursuit of excellence as an individual, team, and organization; enjoyment; loyalty; and teamwork.
