MISSION STATEMENT

The ORYA Travel Hockey mission is to provide a fun and safe environment for players to experience while learning and playing the game of hockey. Hockey teams are designed to support players of equal skill along with providing teams correct league placement that encourages success as an individual and teammate. ORYA Travel Hockey plays in a multi league program, which requires a high level of commitment. We expect our players to be fully committed to the program to ensure satisfaction. Our primary goal is to allow all players to reach their potential and have fun learning to love the game of hockey.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

ORYA’s Learn to Skate Program teams up with local area coaches to develop young skaters balance, skating muscles while teaching them the basics of skating. Learning to fall, to get back to their feet, how to glide & stop will be taught as each player reaches certain milestones. Many kids participate in this class over multiple winters until their skills & confidence on skates allows them to move on to hockey or figure skating programs.

Jr. Ice Cats | Mite Development: This program is designed for kids under the age of 10 that know the basics of skating and want more fun hockey ice time. Many will already be participating in another hockey-based program but want an additional on-ice day. The format is designed to reinforce skill development but focused on fun! The approach is to simply develop the natural love of playing hockey with friends. This fun and fast paced program centers around obstacle courses inspired by Ninja Warrior, small area hockey games and timed relay races among teammates. This approach keeps players playing and improving core skills, most importantly emphasizing having fun through an immersive experience.

*A USA Hockey registration number is required for this program. USA Hockey registration is FREE for birth years 2013 and younger.

The New Hampshire Amateur Hockey Association (NHAHA) is the main league in which teams participate and provides the most games during the season that are located throughout the state of New Hampshire. The Seacoast Hockey League is the second league in which our teams participate and provides local games. Our U14 Girls team typically participates in GSL and the MYCGL to offer an appropriate level of competition.

Learn To Skate

This program are for the floppy ankles, baby deer and banana peel steppin’ kids out there! Come to Churchill Rink and learn to skate with ORYA. Our program encourages young skaters to develop balance, skating muscles, falling the RIGHT way while having fun on the ice without the use of walkers or balance aids! Participants are welcome to wear any single blade hockey or figure skates (no double runners) since they’ll be learning the basics which translates to all skating. All participants are REQUIRED to wear a helmet and no participants, parents or guardians are allowed on the ice without skates.
