During these challenging times, the organization has focused solely on expanding the online footprint of information on Houston youth hockey.

Community Engagement
The organization's main overall goal is to grow the game of hockey in Houston. Given that Houston is not a typical hockey market, challenges exist that impede its ability to grow the game how other hockey markets do. One fundemental program area of HYHG is the Community Engagement program, with a goal to donate dry land equipment to community centers, schools, after school programs and sport complexes that cannot afford to purchase dry land hockey equipment.

Community Awareness
Though, restricted by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in addition to providing kids with dry land hockey equipment, Houston Youth Hockey Group also strives to attend certain community fairs, festivals, and events that are financially possible to participate in and maintain an active precense in the community.

Leadership
The organization is governed and operated by a board of directors composed of six individuals. The organization operates independently from any charter, rink, or on ice program, instead they work with the community and the existing organizations within the community to grow the game.
