Titans Youth Hockey, also known as DC Titans or Titans, is a low-cost, recreational ice hockey program for boys and girls in Washington, DC.

Established in 2010 as the Georgetown Titans, our program had a distinct goal set by its founder, Coach Willy Meaux. His vision was to introduce hockey to kids, particularly those in underserved communities, challenging the conventional notion of the sport as expensive and exclusive. The program actively supported families and children in their journey, resulting in many cultivating a strong passion for hockey. Beyond individual transformations, the initiative contributed to a broader movement seeking to diversify and democratize the sport, making it an attainable dream for every child.

Over the past decade, the club has experienced continued growth, prompting a name change from "Georgetown Titans" to "DC Titans" to better encompass our inclusive representation of the entire District of Columbia. DC Titans takes pride in being the only club that represents the District of Columbia in its hockey league. Our mission is to make it possible for every child to develop a love for the game while fostering sportsmanship, character, and courage. Here are our program principles:

• Inclusion. The Titans do not hold try-outs. The only requirement to participate is a desire to play. Players will never be cut.  Those who join will always be invited to continue, as long as they are of the appropriate age. Our motto is "Once a Titan, always a Titan." 

• Affordability. To minimize costs and support families financially and with necessary equipment, the Titans leverage fundraising, grants, and business sponsorships to subsidize the program.

• Scholarships. The Titans offer full-cost scholarships -- including fees, equipment, travel and summer hockey camp -- to families who would not otherwise be able to afford a hockey program.  

• Girls. The Titans actively welcome girls and work hard to create an environment in which girls thrive. 

The Titans Youth Hockey Teams are: Mites (Age 8 and Under), Squirts (Age 10 and Under), Peewees (Age 12 and Under) and Middle School - Bantam (Age 14 and Under), and compete in the Capital Corridor Hockey League (CCHL). The Titans rosters roughly between 60 to 80 players in a hockey season.

The Titans home is the newly renovated Fort Dupont Ice Arena in Washington, DC.

We believe every leader of the sport has the responsibility to inspire stakeholders in an effort to deliver a positive family hockey experience. Hockey participation offers families value beyond making an individual a better player or even a better athlete. The game of hockey is a powerful platform for participants to build character, foster positive values and develop important life skills. These benefits are available to all players, desirable to every family and transcend the game.

Today, guided by our common values, we jointly pledge to the following Principles.  We Believe:

1. Hockey should be an enjoyable family experience; all stakeholders - organizations, players, parents, siblings, coaches, referees, volunteers and rink operators - play a role in this effort.

2. Hockey's greatest value is the role it plays in the development of character and life skills.

3. All hockey organizations - regardless of size or level of competition - bring value to players and families in their ability to deliver a positive family experience.

4. Physical activity is important for a healthy body, mind and spirit.

5. There are significant benefits of youth participation in multiple sports.

6. Hockey programs should be age-appropriate for all players, accounting for each individual's physical, emotional and cognitive development.

7. There is great value in all forms of hockey, both on and off the ice.

8. All hockey programs should provide a safe, positive and inclusive environment for players and families regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation and socio-economic status. Simply put, hockey is for everyone.
