The BYHC Girls Program has announced program offerings for the 2023-2024 ice hockey season! Check out all the offerings this season available to our female hockey players. 

The Baltimore Stars Girls Program hosts what we like to call Girls Nights Out over the summer. It's a fun way for the girls to get together once a month and skate and catch up. We play fun games, work on skills and scrimmage. It is a great chance to knock the rust off before the season starts, meet with friends, and connect with coaches. Best of all, it's FREE. So, mark your calendars and we hope to see you all there.

2023 Summer Ice Schedule:

• May 20 • 3:15-4:15pm
• June 10 • 11:30am-12:30pm
• July 19 • 3:15-4:15pm
• August 10 • 6:15-7:15pm

All sessions are at Reisterstown Sportsplex.

Please email James Emerick with any questions.
