RUTLAND, VT - The 2025 Vermont State Hockey Championship Weekend was hosted by Rutland Amateur Hockey Association in Rutland, Vermont at Spartan Arena where 34 teams played for their division title.

The first team was 10U tier 2 at 4:15 on Friday night against CVBB, where Kayden Bedard scored a hat trick on his 11th birthday, along with 4 goals by Izaiah Hollinger and 2 goals by Brain Peterson. The game started off tough for RAHA but they were able to pull out a 9-5 win for the 10U Tier 2 Vermont State Championship Title, rounding out an undefeated season.


The 10U Tier 4 RAHA team played SASA Saturday afternoon and took a hard loss 3-2 with an unassisted goal by Gabe Johnson and the second goal assisted by Landon Bushee to Keegan Murray.


The RAHA 14U Tier 3 team rounded out the weekend on Sunday evening with a nail-biting win over Middlebury 3-2 with a goal each by Landon Minichiello, Jaydon McKeighan and Collin Severance.

Make $$$...Become a Referee!

By Shannon Poole • May 30, 2025
There are lots of opportunities for adults, high school students, and current RAHA players to referee local games. Many have used refereeing as a way to understand and develop their game through the referee viewpoint.
