2026-27 VFMM Teams
Competitive Tier I AAA hockey for all ages
TEAM PHILOSOPHY
At this level, the game moves fast and the expectations are high. We build Minutemen teams with players who show they’re ready for that pace and that kind of work. Coaches look for athletes who compete hard, pay attention to the details, and bring the same effort every day.
The goal is simple: form teams that compete hard, improve throughout the season, and carry themselves with the habits and standards that matter on and off the ice.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
AYHL Team Structure
The Minutemen compete in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League (AYHL), the top Tier I AAA league on the East Coast. League play begins at 10U and progresses through 18U:
- 10U–14U: Birth-year teams with Minor (first-year) and Major (second-year) levels
- 13-Pure & 15-Pure: Single birth-year teams, no underage players
- 16U & 18U: Two levels of competition — Elite and Premier
At the older age levels—13 Pure and above—Minutemen teams compete as National-bound teams. Advancement to Atlantic Districts is determined by results within the AYHL league schedule against other Atlantic District teams. 12U Major teams are also eligible for District play, though there is no USA Hockey National Championship at that level.
