KVHA Recreational House Teams Sponsored by BIGGBY Coffee

House, or recreational hockey is for all skill levels! It is less commitment, less cost and less travel than tier 2, however players must exhibit a minimum skill level to participate in our full season league/district teams; those who need further development will be placed in our Learn the Game Program for the season.

Utilizing the USA Hockey ADM structure allows for skill appropriate play, which maximizes puck touches and ice time.  Shared practices allow the kids to not only get to know their teammates, but players and coaches on other teams as well.  Each season we determine the number of teams that we are able to field given the number of viable head coaches, amount of ice time available to the association, and the number of players seeking to play at each age level.

We have a great program, led by amazing volunteer coaches and we hope that you consider joining our hockey family!  Full hockey equipment, including mouth and neck guard, along with a great attitude are required to participate!

JUNIOR REBELS/RENEGADES MAHA 8u PLUS TEAM

The Michigan Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) launched its first ‘8u Hockey Plus Program’ in January 2024. Approved by USA Hockey, the new program represents a defined path of transition for 8u hockey players from ADM into full-ice hockey, prior to their introduction into the 10u classification the following season.

 The 8u Hockey Plus Program will consist of an 8-to-10-week schedule of regional games, consisting of teams made up of exclusively 2017 players this season.  They will play half-ice between September 1st and December 31st of the current season and begin full ice games in January as well as continue half-ice play.  The season concludes with a tournament in March. 

The MAHA organizes the regional games and the season-ending tournament. While the program is intended for players participating in their local association, exceptions may be granted for a combined association program if two neighboring associations do not have enough players to field a team by themselves.

All coaches, including assistant coaches, most comply with the USA Hockey Coaching Education program and complete all training requirements to be a properly rostered coach.
