Please consider working a few extra hours to help out your team!

Parents are required to help fulfill team responsibilities. Positions include but are not limited to; penalty box attendant, score clock operator, score keeper, or tournament positions. Team Managers will provide a schedule of positions that need to be filled for games. If you are not able to meet the obligation, please work with team families to move around the schedule. Team responsibilities cannot be “bought out” unless chosen to pay someone to do the responsibilities (which would be between the payer and payee.)

**For more information on required hours and buyout options please go the the Youth Hockey section under our Programs tab.

TYH has equipment for rent for the season for our young Introductory Program skaters (appx. ages 4-8).  It is not expected that they have their equipment at this age. The club has a wide range of used items to fit different sized kids so that everyone is safe and comfortable out on the ice. If your older child needs equipment be sure to talk to a board member about options for renting, borrowing, or purchasing used equipment, at least to get started. Your child will need their own equipment eventually. The rental program gives you and your child an extended opportunity to try hockey before you buy your own equipment. 

Tips: Little kids can just wear sweats under their hockey shorts and forgo the hockey socks and the need for special undershorts or a garter. A long-sleeved shirt, like an Under Armour shirt, under the chest and elbow pads helps to prevent any rubbing or pinching. And thinner socks let kids' toes move in their skates and means their feet will stay warmer. The more comfortable your child is in his or her equipment, the more they can focus on having fun! 

**For more information on equipment rental pricing please go the the Youth Hockey section under our Programs tab.

If TYH hockey doesn't have the rental options you need Rink Rats maybe able to help you out.

We’re excited to introduce Rink Rat Rentals—a new, affordable way for families in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin to rent high-quality, brand-new hockey equipment for youth players. Our mission is to grow the game by making hockey more accessible, with rental options starting at just $1 per day. Families can save up to $500 per season compared to buying new gear!

We’re proud to partner with organizations like the Chicago Wolves and the Ozaukee Youth Hockey Association, who are helping us make hockey more affordable for everyone. To celebrate, we're currently offering free shipping on all orders placed through September 2024!
