How we came to be.
The Penguins Youth Ice Hockey Organization began over 40 years ago in the 1965-66 season, when several teachers from The Hill School, here in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania organized a youth club for students from the school and surrounding communities. Today, The Hill School now serves as our home ice rink — located on High Street in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.
We're making future stars.
Our Kids
Our players don’t just live in Pottstown, PA. They reside in Lansdale, Phoenixville, Birdsboro, Boyertown, Norristown, Elverson, Jeffersonville, Collegeville and all over Montgomery County, PA.
Many of our players who now participate in our travel hockey program, started with us in the learn-to-skate program. This program starts kids as young as 3 years old. The goal of our club is to deliver quality instruction that will allow players to improve their skills as they learn and enjoy the sport of ice hockey.
Emphasis is on developing the individual player. We do this by using our Player Development Plan. Developing players implies at some point players will move up and/or move on to more advanced hockey organizations. Providing a fun environment for boys and girls of all ages to learn and play the game of ice hockey remains the target of our program.
Our increasing success is a direct result of the team effort of our coaches, parents and kids.
We deliver quality instructions...
Offering a variety of programs.
For all skill and age levels.
Initiation / Learn-to-Skate
This program is designed to initiate children of any age into the world of ice hockey. We teach boys and girls skating, stick handling and puck control. 10 one-hour sessions are included, providing ample ice time to work on skills. Helmet, skates, elbow and kneepads are required.
Cross Ice
This program is designed for players age eight and under who are playing in their first year of competitive hockey. The emphasis is placed on learning the game while continuing to develop basic playing skills. Full equipment is required.
Mite • Squirt • Pee Wee • Bantam • Midget
These are travel programs for players aged 17 and under. Each team participates in the Delaware Valley Hockey League, as well as non-league games and tournaments. Teams travel as far away as Hershey, Wilkes Barre and Maryland. Our intent is to field an A and B team at each level. ‘A’ is designed to be competitive, while ‘B’ is designed to be developmental. There will be 15 home games and 15 away games scheduled, including two practices a week. Additional practices, if applicable, will be scheduled. Practices will be both full ice and shared ice. These teams will be limited to 15 skaters and two goaltenders. Full equipment is required.
