BYH Instructional Hockey is going to 3 on 3 Cross Ice !!!!
See schedule of ice times for full season at bottom of this notification !
Instructional Hockey should provide the fundamental skills necessary to excel in the sport of hockey. The focus should be on skating, puck handling, passing, shooting, basic positioning, hockey rules and most importantly---FUN!
Traditional “full ice” hockey games allow only 20-30 seconds of puck handling per game. Full ice hockey games, although entertaining, do not provide the best training for beginning hockey players. To provide the hockey fundamentals that kids need, BYH Instructional hockey will adopt a “3 on 3 Cross Ice” format.

Cross Ice Hockey
Cross Ice Hockey is designed to maximize the development of the skills necessary to allow continued improvement in the traditional game of hockey. The cross ice hockey game is played across the width in one zone. There is no stoppage of play and no checking. This game encourages quick footwork, slick stick handling and, most importantly of all, quick thinking!
Only 6, not 10, kids will be in the game at any one time. Quick changes @ 1-2 minutes and coaches will match up kids at appropriate level to be sure the kids are playing at proper level.
Gatorade after the game, $1 ……Playing against your buddies……priceless !!!
Full equipment is required. You can get youth equipment package deals at Powerplay Sports in Braintree (2 Garden Park, 2nd Floor, p 781 - 848 -5100).
Each player will receive a game shirt and socks will be made available for purchase at Power Play Sports. Players must be registered with USA Hockey.
Space will be limited so register as soon as possible so you don’t get iced out !!
