Welcome to the Westfield Youth Hockey Association Online Registration Page.
Registration will run Saturday February 8, 2025 through Saturday March 8, 2025.
2025-2026 Season Eligibility:
To be eligible to play in the Westfield Youth Hockey Association, a player must be a resident of one of the below listed towns.
The WYHA Jr Bombers includes Westfield, Southwick, Russell, Montgomery, Huntington, Granville, Tolland, Chester, Blandford, or any town in Connecticut.
Evaluations (8U through 14U):
At the end of each season an evaluation session is held (typically at the end of March or beginning of April) for determining placement on a WYHA team. The assignment to a team is based on the skill of each player demonstrated at the evaluation sessions. All players at 10U level and higher must declare if they are going to tryout for Goalie or Skater. 12U and older skaters can choose to evaluate as either Defense or Forward. A player may only try out for one position, Goalie or Skater, and that is the position they will play for the entire season.

**Note: Please understand this is not an additional cost coming from Westfield Youth Hockey, but a necessary adjustment to pay the increasing ice bills**
This allows you, the members, to know which team your player is on earlier and allows teams to begin the process of planning their seasons far in advance to organize fundraisers and build an essential team bond. The early commitment also allows WYHA to purchase the appropriate amount of ice, which helps us control our costs and keep ice bills appropriate.
2024-2025 Ice Payment:
For the 2025-26 season we will go with a monthly payment plan. Once the registration payment and commitment payments are collected, the remaining balance will be broken up into 7 monthly payments. This will run from July 1, 2025 – January 1, 2026. Each payment will be automatically deducted on the 1st of the month. The estimated costs per age level are listed below.
***Note: all financials will be reviewed prior to start of the season and if there are any necessary adjustments that need to be made, it will be discussed during that month's board meeting.
Monthly Breakdown:
***We will offer a 50% discount to all full-time goaltenders in 10U - 14U ages***
***We offer a 3rd skater discount of 50% for families with 3 or more players.***
