CHIEFS HOCKEY🏒

CUYHA is a volunteer-based organization supporting youth hockey in Champaign-Urbana, IL. A fall and winter session are offered.

Our ice hockey programs:

MINOR HAWKS (MH) The NHL recognizes the importance of assisting youth hockey organizations in growing the great sport of hockey. CUYHA is pleased to offer the Chicago Blackhawks Minor Hawks program to new skaters age 4-8. The program is an inexpensive one hour/one day a week “Learn to Skate/Learn to Play Hockey” program for kids who are interested in exploring the game of

hockey, but who are not ready for House League play. It follows AHAI’s American Development Model (ADM) for fundamental skating instruction and skill based development, preparing skaters for future play. All participants must be new to hockey and everyone receives a Chicago Blackhawks Minor Hawks jersey and FREE equipment for use during the sessions (all equipment must be returned at the end of the sessions.) HOUSE LEAGUE (HL) is for boys and girls typically age 6 and older. It is designed to build a skaters’ skill base and love for the game of hockey, and to begin game play. Fall session begins in October each year, Winter session begins in January. TRAVEL TEAMS are teams with more focused and regular practices who enjoy an enhanced team atmosphere and who test their skill development through game play against other youth hockey organizations. CUYHA is a member of the Central Illinois Hockey League (CIHL) with league play among other Central Illinois based teams, which are typically: Bloomington, Champaign, Decatur, Springfield, Pekin, Peoria, Quad Cities. CUYHA’s High School Team is a member of the Lincoln Land Hockey Association (LLHL). Approximately 50% of all travel games are League play, and 50% are scheduled by individual team managers to give skaters exposure to teams from other regions and tournament play.

Today is a great day to double check gear, etc. because practice starts on TUESDAY!👏🏼

We hope your players are ready to get on the ice and look forward to seeing everyone.

REMINDER🚨 this is for House Hockey players, not LTP/LittleHawks. Clarifying that because I’ve had many families reach out. We anticipate those programs beginning 10/15 or shortly thereafter and will be notifying all families ASAP.

If your player has rented gear and you’ll be picking up that day I encourage you to arrive early so we can iron any details out then. Thanks!

Questions about gear? Email Tim @ [email protected] or contact me and I’ll forward along!
