The Brattleboro Hockey Association (BHA) has been in existence for 30 years with the purpose of developing self-esteem, social skills and character along with skating and related hockey skills of area youth. The BHA also serves as the feeder program for the Brattleboro High School teams, both girls and boys, demonstrating the integral role the BHA has in engaging the area youth in skill development and healthy activity.
The BHA is affiliated with the nationwide organization, USA Hockey and subscribes to its youth hockey mission of promoting the growth of hockey in America and to provide the best possible experience for all participants by encouraging, developing, advancing and administering the sport. The BHA provides an organized hockey program primarily for the Brattleboro area; however the program is open to anyone three years of age or older regardless of their place of residence. A child who is under the age of five is evaluated on an individual case for acceptance into the program.
The BHA considers the Nelson Withington Skating Facility at Living Memorial Park in Brattleboro, Vermont, its home. The rink opens this year on Saturday, October 20, and is open through March 2, 2008. Please contact 802 257-8078 for further information. We look forward to hearing from you.
If you are already a member of the BHA, you will be hearing from your coaches soon regarding skating plans for September.
This year we will also be holding an equipment swap during registration, so clean out those hockey bags and find out what does and doesn’t fit. More details to come.
Enjoy this nice weather and we will be in touch.
