The Minuteman
Flames Minor Hockey Association is one of the
largest and most competitive Elite and AAA Programs in New England.
The Minuteman Flames will be participating in the following leagues this season (2013-2014):
The Minuteman Flames practice and play their
home games at the New England
Sports Center, a state-of-the-art facility with six NCAA Regulation 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.
Skills sessions are also available
from Victor Teleguine, the Boston Bruins Skills Coach, and Stop It Goaltending as an integral
part of the program.
This season, the Minuteman Flames will have 30 teams, including 22 boys’ teams
and 8 Lady Flames teams. 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 Minuteman Flames also conducts two Cross Ice Programs,
one for boys and one for girls, known as the Sparks Programs. These are
learn-to-skate/learn-to-play-hockey
programs for 5 and 6 year old players on Sunday mornings during the season to
prepare young players for their future youth hockey careers.
The season begins in early September and
continues through late March at the boys Squirt Minor through Bantam Major levels,
and at the girls U10 through U14 levels. Pre-high school teams are formed at the
boys Bantam Major, Midget Minor and Midget Major levels, and at the girls U16 and U19 age levels.
The Elite player fee for the upcoming season will
be $2,600 for full time players on full season teams from Squirt to Bantam
Minor. This player fee includes two 80 minute practices per week, a 32 to 36 game (15
minute periods) league schedule, insurance, EHF League
fees, USA Hockey Club Team fees, socks, and two preseason practices in the
July/August timeframe. Comparable fees will apply for the other teams based upon their
variation in ice use. If the
player participates in the additional skills sessions, there is an additional associated
charge.
The Minuteman Flames Teams also participate in
tournaments, typically including several tournaments at the New England Sports Center... notably the New England
Summer Championships in August, the EHF Columbus Day Invitational in October, the New England Winter Championships in December,
and the Minuteman Flames Spring Classic Tournament in April.
The Minuteman Flames alumni continue to achieve well beyond the youth level, as
illustrated by the Minuteman Flames Hall of Fames and our Alumni
page. Many of the Flames alumni have gone on to play for Division I, II, and III
colleges. Some have advanced to the AHL, NHL and Olympics, including Mike Greer, who recently retired from the
Buffalo Sabres after a long and highly successful NHL career, playing in 1,060 NHL games; Tara Mounsey, a Brown University
and USA Woman’s Olympic Team Star; Bobby Butler, a Marlborough resident, who now plays for the Nashville Predators;
and Bill Arnold, presently with the Boston College Eagles, who scored the winning goal in overtime to
defeat Boston University in the 2012 Beanpot Championship Game and was a key player, with a goal and an assist,
in the 6-3 win over Northeastern University in the 2013 Beanpot Championship Game.

To Prospective Minuteman Flames Players and Parents:
This is an exciting time for competitive Hockey in New England, with tryouts for the
Eastern Hockey Federation (EHF), the Eastern Minor Hockey League (EMHL) and the New England
Girls Hockey Association (NEGHL) just weeks away. The Charters
of the EHF, EMHL and NEGHL are 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 the EHF, EMHL and NEGHL
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 the factors that detract from these objectives.
For the present Minuteman Flames families, the Minuteman
Flames Program has meant the best hockey value in New England, the
most consistent ice times in one of the nicest facilities around, 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, being selected as a Minuteman Flames player means all of
the above, giving you one of the best hockey experiences there is.
See you at tryouts!
Larue Renfroe
President
Minuteman Flames Minor Hockey Association
