MassConn: A Great Place to Start Your Hockey Career

If you live in the Massachusetts or Connecticut area and are looking for a youth hockey program for your son or daughter, I hope you'll take a moment to consider the MassConn Braves Organization. We are based out of the newly renovated Springfield, MA Olympia facility, which features three separate ice rinks and is home to the MAAC Collegiate Hockey Conference. We will field teams that range from PeeWee through Midgets.

We will be entering our 18th season in 2008-09. Our schedule typically includes approximately 60 games and 50 practices with an average of one home and one away game each weekend. There is a strong emphasis on hockey fundamentals, especially in practices. Our goal is to help prepare each individual for the next step in their hockey career.

The season runs from early September to the end of March. Each team is independently run with the intention of playing both NAAHA and USA hockey registered teams. The Braves Hockey Association offers good competition, positive attitudes, good sportsmanship, and a quality coaching staff. We are very proud of our youth and the accolades they have achieved.

We hope to see you at the rink.
