Registration is Open for AHC's Instructional and Developmental Hockey Programs (ages 4 - 8)

The Arlington Hockey Club's Instructional and Developmental Programs offer kids a great opportunity to make new friends, develop new skills, and have fun playing a new sport. Participants do not need to know how to skate---we will teach them! This is a learn as you go program and we are happy to meet your kids where they are in their development. 

The Instructional and Developmental programs are for children aged 4 through 8. These programs are an ideal way for a child to socialize with their peers, try something new and develop the confidence and determination that will benefit them throughout their life. 

The Instructional program is the first step into ice hockey and will teach children skating and basic hockey fundamentals. This program usually meets on Saturday mornings (last year it met at 11:50 am) and runs from the end of October through March. The Instructional program is ideal for anyone who is new to skating and hockey. AHC makes it fun for the kids with on-ice activities (obstacle courses, tag, relay races, etc.) and small games (Simon says, follow-the-leader, shootouts, hockey). Kids are placed into small groups to work on individual and team skills but the main goal is to have fun! 

The Developmental program is for the child who has some basic skating skills. It is a more comprehensive program with skills sessions on Saturday mornings and games on Sunday afternoons. We will teach stickhandling, passing, shooting and additional skating skills every Saturday morning and the kids will play half-ice hockey games on Sunday in the late afternoon. Children are assigned to teams with their own individual coaches and unique team uniforms. It's a fun and exciting program that kids love! 

Based on past experience we know one of these programs would be a great experience for your child. We hope to see you on the ice soon!!!

Congratulations JP Messuri!!

Congratulations to former AHC player, and current Dexter Standout, JP Messuri on being drafted in the USHL's Phase 2 draft for players born between 2008 and 2005!! JP, a forward, was taken in the 10th round by the Tri-City Storm of Nebraska. He was the 152nd pick of the draft and the 9th player selected from Massachusetts in the approximately 300 player draft. 

The USHL is the only Tier I junior hockey league in the US. Most NCAA Division I players play in the USHL before matriculating into their college programs. 

Congratulations Nolan Russell -- 2026 MA Mr. Hockey Award Winner!

Congratulations to Nolan Russell on being named the Commonwealth’s top high school hockey player! Your dedication, hard work, and elite skill set you apart this season, and this honor is incredibly well deserved.

A former Arlington Hockey Club player from Mites through Bantams, Nolan’s commitment to the game — both with AHC and the Boston Junior Penguins — helped shape an outstanding high school career and set the standard for future Arlington players.

As captain of the Spy Ponders, Nolan led the team to back-to-back Final Four appearances while pacing the team offensively. A multi-time Middlesex All-Star and Academic All-Star, he has truly excelled both on and off the ice.

Best of luck as you continue your academic and hockey career at Babson College!
