12 and Under

For the 2026-27 season this program will be for players born between 2013 and 2014.

Most of your practices and home games will be played at the Bethlehem YMCA. Some practices may be held at other local facilities.

Practices begin in September and your season runs until the middle of March.

Our 12U program will practice 3 times per week. Practices are broken into a skills practice, an ADM group practice, and a team practice.

We are lucky to have Dennis Kravchenco from DK Elite Hockey and his staff run our skills night practices each week along with our USA hockey certified coaches.

Our 12U teams will play full-ice games against teams from other local clubs as well as some tournament travel. Athletes are required to attend all practices, team games and tournaments.

Teams are comprised of up to 15 players and coached by USA Hockey certified adults.

Your team will participate in a few tournaments. Teams will generally play in tournaments in which hotel accommodations are necessary. Details concerning this will be discussed within the teams. Teams are also responsible for home game ref fees.

From level 10u and up; the league has personalized jerseys for the athletes. If your athlete does not have the black, white, and orange personalized BYHA jersey from a previous year you will be required to purchase them.
