Oyster River Youth Hockey offers Introductory and Travel Hockey to residents of Durham, Lee, Madbury and all other surrounding communities. Our home rink is Churchill Rink at Jackson's Landing with additional games and practices at UNH's Whittemore Center.
Oyster River Youth Hockey owns prime ice at Churchill Rink on Tuesday & Thursday for practices, Wednesday for Skills Sessions, and Saturday / Sunday for games. For travel teams, games are also played at opponent facilities. Travel teams practice a minimum of 2 times per week with professionally run skills sessions on Wednesdays on a rotation with other ORYH teams. Power Skating, Stick-Handling, and Goalie Training may be offered. All coaches are USA Hockey certified. Goaltender tuition discounts are available. Travel teams play in one league, have local scrimmages, and playoffs.
Home games are played primarily at Churchill Rink with potential for some at The Whittemore Center based on availability.
2024-2025 Jr. Ice Cats
This learn to play hockey program is designed to reinforce skill development but focused on fun! While skating elements will be incorporated into most sessions, this is not a learn to skate program. Coached by Sadie Wright, former UNH Women’s Hockey All-American and other Oyster River Youth Hockey coaches. The approach is to simply develop the natural love of playing hockey with friends. This program centers around kids learning the FUNdamentals of hockey through interactive drills such as obstacle courses, small-sided hockey games and relay races among teammates. All players will receive a practice uniform. Full pads (non-goalie) are required for all players. Come and give hockey a try with us!
