Reminder: LTS Session 2 starts next week!
January 11 - February 8, 2020.

As we begin to use and adjust to the new space, please note:

1. The pool house will no longer provide our public restrooms!
2. The elevator is primarily for disabled spectators, it is not a midway ride for kids.
3. Concessions will be initially limited to coffee and hot chocolate available from the Skate Room window on the first floor. Concession fit-up is ongoing and may take another week or more.
4. Construction punch-list activities are ongoing. Please make room for any workers completing tasks and thank them for their efforts!

Once again, sincere thanks to everyone for your cooperation and understanding as we complete this incredible improvement to our outstanding community resource, the Memorial Sports Center. Special thanks to those who have contributed so much to this project.

As you may know, we were unable to raise enough funds for the entire project and some key items have been cut and additional debt will be involved. We will continue to accept donations towards the project via www.mscgift.org. 

VSAHA will conduct tryouts to select players who will represent VSAHA at the New England District (NED) Festival Weekend(s) and/or District Development Camp(s). Selections for USA Hockey National Camps will take place at the NED events at the Select 12 level and higher.

Middlebury’s Try Hockey for Free day was a wonderful experience for the players and coaches who came out to Memorial Sports Center on March 3rd, 2018. The event attracted 36 registered children from the Addison County area between the ages of 4 and 8. Coaches from the Middlebury Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) and volunteer coaches led the kids through basic hockey drills focused on skating, puck handling, and safe play on the ice.

Try Hockey for Free is a great way to give families who are considering hockey the chance to give the sport a try, and we hope that we’ll see many of these awesome kids again next season in MAHA’s Learn to Play and Mite programs.
