- Travel Team "Keeper" Jerseys for All Players - Same Jersey Number Each Season!
All MRHA Travel Team players will get to keep their game jerseys. Our players keep their very own jersey number as long as they play Medford Hockey. Best of all, jerseys will be custom fitted so that players will be sure to have a hockey jersey that fits throughout their time with MRHA. Over the next few seasons all travel team jerseys will be reversible Home & Away in one.
- Affordable Player Tuitions and Goalie Tuition Discounts! Tuition Payments Plans!
MRHA Hockey Travel Team players receive (2) weekly team practices, team skills throughout the season, travel team jerseys to keep, and weekly competitive games in the area's top youth hockey league, the Valley Hockey League (VHL). Although the cost of ice and equipment rises each year, the Medford Board of Directors work hard to maintain the affordability of our program. We offer payment plans, goalie discounts, and financial aid to those eligible to ensure our program is affordable so we can offer hockey to as many children as possible.
