Northern Berkshire Youth Hockey, founded in 1969, has promoted and developed the game of hockey among the youth of Northern Berkshire County, Massachusetts and Southern Vermont. The league has travel teams (Black Bears) for children age 6 years through high school. It also boasts a recreational house league (Bear Cubs) for ages 4-12 years, including a session, which teaches children how to skate then learn to play the game of hockey.

 

The purpose of the league is to provide the best available instruction to teach the game of hockey, stress the importance of physical fitness, and provide the core values of USA Hockey: sportsmanship; respect for the individual; integrity; pursuit of excellence as an individual, team and organization; enjoyment; loyalty; and teamwork.
