Our Learn-to-Skate Programs are free and our introductory Mini-Mite program has no registration fee and provides most equipment (excluding skates and stick) for all youth interested in trying the sport.

MCYH ALUMNI NEWS

Help us build a MCYH/WarJack alumni page. Send me any information you may have on former MCYH players that continued to play hockey after leaving Wausau. Most helpful would be a listing of years played with MCYH and their playing history afterwards.
