Youth Hockey Programs
Central Austin Hockey Association and Mallards Hockey Returns
The Central Austin Hockey Association is proud to be re-launching the Mallards Tournament Teams Program and the Central Austin Hockey Association Rec Hockey League!

These programs offer a choice for youth hockey families to choose the program that fits each family's needs the best.

These programs allow players to get coached ice time 2-4 days per week, right here in Austin.

Mallards Tournament Team players will "play up" in recreational league games, pending director and parental approval.

The Pond would like to say thank you to the Austin Metro Hockey Association for years of cooperation and collaboration.

More detailed information will be communicated in the coming weeks, but save June 12th & 13th for Mallards Tournament Team tryouts (10U, 12U, and 14U).
Welcome Back Jason Pierce
The Pond is super excited to welcome back Jason Pierce as CAHA's Youth Hockey Director.

If you are interested in coaching this fall / winter please email Jason.
