What it says it does
BERLIN YOUTH HOCKEY IS COMMITTED TO INTRODUCING KIDS OF ALL AGES TO THE SPORT OF ICE HOCKEY. WE HAVE TEAMS FOR AGES AND ABILITIES FROM AS YOUNG AS THREE YEARS OLD TO PLAYERS IN THEIR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL. WE BELIEVE THAT HOCKEY DEVELOPS SKILLS BOTH ON AND OFF THE ICE THAT BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR A LIFETIME. FROM LEARNING TO BALANCE SCHOOL, RESPONSIBILITIES AT HOME, TIME AT THE RINK, FAMILY LIFE, AND FRIENDS, HOCKEY ENCOURAGES KIDS TO LEARN TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS THAT WILL LATER SERVE THEM IN ALL FACETS OF LIFE.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $144,735 spent. BERLIN YOUTH HOCKEY IS A SMALL YOUTH HOCKEY ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN THE NORTHERN WHITE MOUNTAINS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. WE HAVE 122 PLAYERS REGISTERED FROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS AND SOME TRAVEL 30+ MINUTES FROM THEIR HOME TO OUR PRACTICE ARENA. BEING FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, THERE ARE NO OTHER LOCAL YOUTH HOCKEY ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS, MAKING THIS THE CLOSEST PROGRAM FOR MANY FAMILIES. WITH THAT BEING SAID, ALMOST ALL THE TEAMS THAT WE PLAY AGAINST ARE A 1.5-2 HOUR DRIVE SOUTH. ICE HOCKEY HAS A RICH HISTORY IN OUR SMALL TOWN WHICH WAS ONCE DUBBED "HOCKEY TOWN USA", SO THE SPORT IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL WITH RIVALRIES DATING BACK DECADES. OUR ORGANIZATION IS RUN SOLELY BY VOLUNTEERS, AND RELIES HEAVILY ON COMMUNITY DONATIONS TO HELP KEEP PLAYER TUITION AFFORDABLE, AS TRAVEL COSTS ARE ALREADY SO HIGH FOR FAMILIES WHEN YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TRAVELING TO AWAY GAMES. IN 2024, WE KEPT TUITION RATES AFFORDABLE FOR FAMILIES DURING THESE UNCERTAIN TIMES.
