Ludlow Hockey Association opens 2026-27 registration, with limited openings remaining in several youth divisions.

LUDLOW -- Ludlow Hockey Association (LHA) has opened registration for its 2026/27 Jr. Lions teams. The Novice Learn to Play U6 division is now open, and the association says limited openings remain in Mite U8 (A, B, C), Squirt U10 (A, B, C), Peewee U12 (A, B) and Girls Hockey (U8-U10, U19). LHA said it is considering part-time players for some age groups and asked interested families to email ludlowhockey@gmail.com with the player's name, date of birth, prior and upcoming team affiliations, and whether they're interested in games only or in practices and games. The association is also accepting applications for its 2026/27 coaching staff; questions can be directed to Jim Goodreau. LHA, which has operated since 1972, says it has "led the way growing youth hockey in Western Massachusetts" for 54 years.

The Ludlow Baseball Association's website continues to recognize last season's champions, the WMass Suburban Junior Champions and the JLS Koufax champions, both crowned in 2025. The association said it is seeking parent volunteers to help with events; anyone interested is asked to email ludlowbaseball@gmail.com.
