Check out this latest exhibit in our Orange County Historic Museum.  The exhibit contains pictures and memorabilia of hockey, figure skating and other youth sports dating as far back as 100 years. You'll see leather football helmets, soapbox derby trophies, archery and the humble beginnings of TYH when we were a small youth hockey organization at Daniel Boone Ice Arena.

A huge thanks to Courtney Smith and Kristin Bedell for making this happen! Courtney is the Historic Museum's Special Exhibits Coordinator. Kristin, former TYH coach and our VP Mark's better half, approached Courtney last year about celebrating our 45th anniversary. This is what planted the seed that became this exhibit. A special thanks also to those who donated items for the exhibit.

Museum Address: 201 N. Churton Street, Hillsborough

Congratulations to our 10U & 12U Tournament teams for their success over President's Day weekend.  Both teams made it to the championship game and brought home some banners!
