A FUN, EASY, LOW-COST, NO COMMITMENT way to try youth hockey before the season starts!
Designed for first year skaters at the Mini-Mite/Mite/Squirt/10U levels and second year skaters at the Mini-Mite level, the One Goal program is a chance for kids to learn and experience the game of hockey in a fun environment without much of the upfront expense of purchasing equipment.
Limited skating experience or don't know how to skate? No problem! Numerous BYHA coaches are on the ice to assist players across multiple skill levels.
Eligibility: Skaters should be located within Buffalo Youth Hockey Association boundaries and born between 7/1/2008 and 6/30/2015 to participate. Skaters should be first year players at the Mini-Mite/Mite/Squirt/10U level or second year players at the Mini-Mite level. Please note that we can't guarantee equipment will fit Squirt/10U players. PLEASE NOTE: Registering for One Goal is not the same as registering for the Mini-Mite/Mite/Squirt/10U season. There is a separate registration for the full season (please see the registration portion of the BYHA website for dates and details).
For a $25 registration fee, each One Goal skater receives:
Free use of the following equipment through the One Goal program (and through the full hockey season if desired)*:
*A $150 deposit is required at equipment pick-up to use the equipment. Deposit is 100% returned when equipment is returned. We cannot guarantee that equipment will fit skaters at the Squirt/10U level.
Skaters are responsible for providing their own:
Online Registration
Equipment Pick-Up (in the Peterson Arena at the Buffalo Civic Center)
Ice Times (Groups will be assigned and communicated after registration). PLEASE NOTE: All sessions will be prior to the start of the Mite and Mini-Mite season. Some sessions may potentially be after the start of the Squirt/10U season.
