Overview
Mission
Berlin youth hockey is committed to introducing kids of all ages to the sport of ice hockey. We have teams for ages and abilities from as young as three years old to players in their senior year of high school. We believe that hockey develops skills both on and off the ice that build a foundation for a lifetime. From learning to balance school, responsibilities at home, time at the rink, family life, and friends, hockey encourages kids to learn time management skills that will later serve them in all facets of life.
What it reported doing in 2024
Berlin youth hockey is a small youth hockey organization located in the northern white mountains of New Hampshire. We have 122 players registered from neighboring towns and some travel 30+ minutes from their home to our practice arena. Being from the north country, there are no other local youth hockey organizations within a 50 mile radius, making this the closest program for many families. With that being said, almost all the teams that we play against are a 1.5-2 hour drive south. Ice hockey has a rich history in our small town which was once dubbed "hockey town USA", so the sport is highly competitive at the high school level with rivalries dating back decades. Our organization is run solely by volunteers, and relies heavily on community donations to help keep player tuition affordable, as travel costs are already so high for families when you take into account traveling to away games. In 2024, we kept tuition rates affordable for families during these uncertain times.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
