It’s with much-awaited enthusiasm and excitement that we’re announcing our new team name. We are the Black Bears!

We’d like to thank Adam Feldman of Northfield for suggesting the new name and an honorary mention goes to Jason Gerrish who recommended “The Ice Bears.” We believe the strong Vermont ties to the animal’s natural habitat make the name relatable to our youth hockey players. It’s a strong animal with keen senses (did you know that Black Bears’ sense of smell is 7 times more sensitive than dogs?) and while the real animal may hibernate in the winter, that’s when our CVYH Black Bears gear up for the rink!

Black Bear apparel will be available closer to the start of the season. Show your support on social media by using the hashtag #VTBlackBears

We are excited for the season ahead and we believe the unification of our four clubs’ resources will allow us to grow the game of hockey in Central Vermont. Together, we can improve the development experience and increase the opportunities available to players while keeping youth hockey affordable, and inclusive in our communities.  

One of the first steps in setting up our aligned season is getting registration underway! There is a lot of information housed in the registration itself, but a few items to highlight:

• Registration deadline, for 8U travel, 10U, 12U and 14U is July 22nd! This is to accommodate the planning of tryouts beginning the following week and for jersey ordering!
• This merger will offer top tier co-ed and regular co-ed teams at the 8U, 10U, 12U & 14U levels and girls only teams at 10U, 12U & 14U. Details inside the registration on what to expect from each level. 
• Tryouts are happening soon! They are scheduled for in the last week in July and first two weeks in August. Schedule of times and location details are included in registration. Your player must be registered with CVYH to participate in tryouts! (Dates are 7/27, 8/3 and 8/10 dependent on what level your player(s) is at. Your player must attend at least one tryout. 
• Tuition costs this year include a game jersey and socks, for you to keep, with your players name on the back! It is important that you fill out the jersey sizing and sock sizing at registration. Additionally, we are asking players to give their top 5 number choices. CVYH will do our best to accommodate number selections – but do understand, this is being done on a first come first serve based. You can find sizing of jerseys and socks below.

Thank You!
