About MAHA
This season the Middlebury Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) will continue its longstanding commitment to coaching excellence, respect for the game, and competitive play in the Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association and beyond. We are excited to continue our collaboration with the NHL's Bruins Learn to Play program and application of USA Hockey’s American Development Model (ADM) to improve the hockey experience for current participants, while broadening access for the local community.
MAHA’s board and its coaches strive to establish a safe and fun environment for youth athletes, but hockey is a team effort both on and off the ice, and our organization flourishes when everyone contributes their enthusiasm and support. (Youth sports are built on community, so please volunteer whenever you can.) We look forward to an exciting season of good hockey, sportsmanship, and community spirit!
