Shinny Nights are back in Waltham. To give our players an opportunity to be have fun and be creative in an unstructured setting, we’re periodically adding Shinny Nights to our team schedules. Shinny is a form of non-contact pickup hockey. Teams within age-groups are separated at random and play 4 on 4. There are few rules (keep the puck on the ice, no hitting) and creativity, passing and finding open space is encouraged. Thanks to all of our coaches who help keep the game moving and fun for our players!
Robby Glantz Power Skating is returning to Waltham on Monday, September 19th through Wednesday. September 21st at Veterans Memorial Rink in Waltham. There will be three sessions running from 5:00p-8:50p, they will be divided into age appropriate groups and assigned the week before the clinics begin. Limited spots are available at each age level.
Robby Glantz has been working with our travel skaters in Waltham Youth Hockey for over five years. Robby has been a power skating instructor to professional & amateur players all over the world for over 20+ years.
His sessions with the kids are fun, engaging, grueling and extremely helpful. Power Skating is not learning to skate, it's technically enhancing your stride, perfecting how to skate with your edges, forward and backwards with more power, speed, agility all while using less energy. You will be amazed at how improved your child’s stride is after just 3 sessions with Robby.
Registration for Waltham Youth Hockey’s Learn to Skate (Tykes) and Learn to Play (In-House Mites) programs will open in August. These seasons are targeted to begin in late September.
During the first night of tryouts, players are assigned to a session alphabetically by last name. You must attend the session you are assigned or your child will not be scored. If you missed pinnie pickup on Saturday, pinnies are in the rink office in a box with your name on it.
The 2023 Waltham February Vacation Tournament Schedule has been released. This year we'll be running 45 games over 7 divisions of hockey at Veterans Rink.
