Dear Member,

USA Hockey is now open for registration of the 2008-2009 season. The link to USA Hockey's registration area is: http://www.usahockeyregistration.com

As a reminder, Hanover Youth Hockey Association (HYHA) is participating in USA Hockey's on-line registration process for the 2008-2009 season. In the past we registered all HYHA players and coaches manually with computer software, printouts and regular mail. To streamline this process USA Hockey created an on-line website for all local affiliated programs to use.

USA hockey registration is $30 with a $5 fee for Massachusetts Hockey for a total of $35 when you check out. You will receive an electronic confirmation by email and must forward this to the HYHA Registrar at for final registration processing before your child can participate in on-ice activities. If for some reason you cannot register on-line you must contact the HYHA Registrar in order to perform a manual registration for your child. A check of $35 will need to be made payable to Hanover Youth Hockey Association so that we can take care of the USA & MA Hockey registrations for you.

We would also like you to know that there is no sale of information to third parties and the information that is obtained either on-line through the registration process or that USA receives directly from us as a program is protected by their privacy policy.  Moreover, information sent through their site does not stay on the internet and is protected on their own database by firewalls.  This was provided to HYHA by USA Hockey Member Services at 1-800-566-3288 ext 123.  The privacy statement can be seen at http://www.usahockey.com/Footer/FooterPrivacyStatement.aspx

Thank you,
John Shelley

HYHA's Cross-Ice Program will begin this Saturday, May 3, 2008 and will run every Saturday through August 30, 2008 at the Bavis Rink in Rockland.  There is no additional fee for registered player members in good standing as the cost is included as part of the tuition for all registered members.  The schedule will be as follows:

All Mites:                                                                            8:10 am

All Squirts and Girls U-12 Team:                                 9:20 am

All Peewees & Bantams                                                10:30 am

We hope to see all players there to benefit from this program.

Hanover Youth Hockey is proud to announce The Mike Hourihan Memorial Award.  H.Y.H.A. will present the award to a Midget player each year in their final year of youth hockey who demonstrated leadership and sportsmanship throughout their youth hockey career. Mike was a great leader as President for Hanover Youth Hockey for many years and left us too soon.   The inaugural winner was Hanover resident Patrick Dunn.  Mike’s wife Ellen and son Michael and daughter Marisa dropped the ceremonial puck at the Hanover Coaches versus the Boston Bruins Alumni game in March.

USA Hockey Online Registration

 

As part of 2008-2009 Hanover Youth Hockey Association (HYHA) registration, parents must go online and register their player(s) with USA Hockey. You will receive an electronic confirmation by email and must forward this to the HYHA Registrar for final registration processing before your child can participate in on-ice activities.

The USA hockey registration cost is $30. If for some reason you cannot register online you must contact the HYHA Registrar in order to perform a manual registration for your child. A check of $30 will need to be made payable to Hanover Youth Hockey Association so that we can take care of the USA Hockey registration for you.

If you do not register with USA Hockey online and do not notify the Registrar that manual processing is needed, your child will not be eligible to play until he/she is registered with USA Hockey.

A reminder email will be sent to all participants in May. It is mandatory that everyone is registered with USA hockey prior to stepping on the ice at the end of August. USA Hockey will allow registration for the 2008-2009 season in May.
Member,

Presently, USA Hockey will only allow registrations for the 2007-2008 season. Every member of Hanover Hockey has already registered for this season.

Please do NOT try to register for the 2008-2009 season yet, you will be registering for this past season all over again. We will be sending an email in early May indicating USA Hockey is ready for the 2008-2009 season.

Thank you for your patience.

Dear Member,

As many of you already know, HYHA has purchased new game jerseys, a set of white and blue for each team.  This was a significant investment by our program.  Please take care to keep them well-maintained while they are in your possession.  As a rule, HYHA does not allow player members to wear the jerseys at practice.  Please save them for the games only.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Dear Member,

Please be reminded of the following rule:

The Member towns and coachs of each team are responsible for the behavior of the spectators from their town.  If the spectators get unruly or abusive during a game, it is up to the discretion of the referee to stop the game and determine who is at fault.  If it can be determined whom or what town is at fault, they shall forfeit the game. If it cannot be determined who is at fault or it is unsafe to continue the game, it will be stopped and the Disciplinary Committee will make a decision.

A)  The South Shore Conference will establish a discipline committee to investigate and conduct a hearing if appropriate, concerning any major incident involving a spectator or parent.  An Officer of the South Shore Conference will chair the Discipline Committee.  The discipline committee will be compromised of three members of the Executive Board and two Program Directors on a rotating monthly basis.

A Major Incident shall be defined as, but may not be limited to, the use of obscene or vulgar language, verbal; physical abuse, taunting of players, coaches, officials, and throwing of objects in the viewing area, team benches, or ice surfaces, etc...

Please represent the Town of Hanover in a positive manner, exhibiting good sportsmanship at all times!
