Introducing The Minuteman Flames

The Minuteman Flames Minor Hockey Association is one of the largest and most competitive AAA Programs in New England. The Minuteman Flames will be participating in the Eastern Hockey Federation again this season (2007-2008). The Minuteman Flames practice and play their home games at the New England Sports Center, a state-of-the-art facility with five surfaces centrally located in New England.

The program offers an active practice and game schedule, typically two games on the weekend and two full-sheet 80 minute practices per week on a set schedule (60 minute for Mites). Skills sessions are also offered at the Squirt and Peewee levels.

After two preseason practices in August, the season begins in early September and continues through late March at the Mite Minor through Bantam Major levels for boys, and U10 through U14 for girls. Pre-high school teams are formed at the Midget Minor, Midget Major, U16 and U19 age levels. The Minuteman Flames Program has a competent, experienced coaching staff dedicated to making the youth hockey experience one that is fun, while building character and proficiency in the sport.

The AAA player fee for the upcoming season will be $2,475 for full time players on full season teams from Squirt to Bantam Minor. This player fee includes two 1 hour and 20 minute practices per week, a 36 game (15 minute periods) league schedule, two additional weekend home game times for home and away scrimmages, insurance, EHF League fees, USA Hockey Club Team fees, socks, and two preseason practices in the July/August timeframe. Comparable lower fees will apply for the other teams based upon their lower ice use.

The Minuteman Flames Teams participate in AAA tournaments, including several tournaments at the New England Sports Center... notably the New England Summer Championships in August, the Columbus Day Classic in October, the New England Winter Championships in December, and the Spring Classic Tournament in April.

The Minuteman Flames alumni continue to achieve well beyond the youth level, as illustrated on our Alumni page.

This season, the Minuteman Flames will have 16 teams, 10 at the AAA Level and 6 at the AA Level in the EHF, and the Lady Flames will have 7 teams, all of which are identified on the Teams page of this website. If you are interested in playing on one of these teams, please contact the coach, listed on our Coaches page, or contact:

Important Announcement

To Prospective Minuteman Flames Players and Parents:

This is an exciting time for AAA Hockey in New England, with tryouts for the fourth season of the Eastern Hockey Federation (EHF) just weeks away. The Charter of the EHF is to develop the hockey skills and knowledge of those players, coaches, managers, and officials who participate, and to foster the development of good character, citizenship, and sportsmanship in every individual associated with the league.

The Minuteman Flames is proud to be a member of Eastern Hockey Federation because of the commitment shown by the directors of the member organizations to put the development of the players' hockey skills, sportsmanship and overall character first, and to eliminate some of the factors that detract from these objectives. This commitment and focus have been evident throughout the first four seasons.

For the present Minuteman Flames families, the change to the EHF has meant better competition, a better relationship with the opposing teams and organizations, and more consistent rules enforcement... in summary, a better hockey and character development environment.

For those trying out for the Minuteman Flames for the first time, the change means all of the above, plus the most reasonable players fees, and the most consistent ice times in one of the nicest facilities around. You also get to play on competitive teams for great coaches.

See you at tryouts!

Larue Renfroe
President
Minuteman Flames Minor Hockey Association
