Why does the schedule change sometimes – why isn’t it consistent the whole year?
There are a lot of groups that use the ice at the Memorial Sports Center – most importantly, it is used for the Middlebury Union High School boys and girls hockey teams. Due to High School home games, the schedule gets mixed up a bit so we can fit everyone on the ice for their allotted practice times in the week. Also, we have other holidays where the rink is closed (e.g., Thanksgiving and Christmas), so, again, the schedule gets mixed up a bit during those weeks. Finally, the rink is host to a few tournaments during the year (e.g., the Mite Jamboree in December, the Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament in January, and (sometimes) a Vermont State hockey tournament in Feb) – again, another reason for the schedule to get mixed up.
Note: Please keep in mind that sometimes other schedules change beyond the control of MAHA, and we need to adjust accordingly!
