Matt Brown League
Friday Night Fun on the Ice!
Looking for a fun and low-pressure way to get more game experience? The Matt Brown League is a great opportunity for players who are newer to hockey—or just want one more game a week to sharpen their skills and enjoy the game!
Starting the first Friday in November and running through mid-March, games are held Friday nights at the Bajko Rink in Hyde Park. It’s a perfect way to kick off the weekend—on the ice, under the lights, and with teammates who just want to play hockey and have fun!
The Matt Brown team includes a mix of:
- Newer players still gaining confidence before jumping into full-time travel hockey
- Squirts looking for an extra weekly game
- Mites getting a feel for full-ice hockey (yes, we’ll teach you offsides!)
There’s no additional practice ice for this team—dedicated players continue practicing with their Mite or Squirt groups. But the extra game time each week goes a long way in building skills, hockey sense, and a love for the game.
Whether your child is just getting started or simply wants more time to play, the Matt Brown League is a great stepping stone—and a ton of fun.
📝 Sign-up form will be available soon—stay tuned!
Who Is Matt Brown?
The league is named in honor of Matt Brown, a former Norwood High School hockey player who suffered a life-altering spinal cord injury during a game in 2010. Matt’s story, resilience, and love for hockey have inspired players and families across Massachusetts and beyond.
His foundation, Matt Brown Hockey Development Foundation, supports youth hockey programs and promotes Matt’s message: “Never Quit.”
