Sharpen those skates as we officially begin the 2008-2009 hockey season at the end of the month. Practice and game schedules will be provided shortly by individual team managers so stay tuned. Also, the vastly improved and redesigned MYH website is up and running. Please take a minute to take a look.
If at any point throughout the season you have questions or concerns you may address them with your coach, team manager or level director. You can also contact any of the BOD. The Board consists of 16 voting members and one non-voting member. BOD information can be found on our website here.
Coachs skate
Coaches are invited to participate in the weekly coachs Skate. These skates are great for building community and they provide an opportunity to meet coaches from other levels.

SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Bruce Major
MYH wants to pay a special acknowledgment to Bruce Major. Bruce is currently our skills and ice director and has served on the Board for the last 4 years. In his time with MYH, Bruce has been monumental in the negotiation of ice contracts and coordinating ice times to fit a logical and systematic schedule that directly benefits all families involved in the hockey program. Bruce also serves as the coordinator of the skills program which allows our children to learn under professional coaches. As a former NHLer, MYH is extremely fortunate to have Bruce so involved with our program. He has dedicated endless hours to coaching and administration. He guided the 2007-2008 Squirt 1 team to the state championship, the first in MYH history. MYH recognizes that this program would not be as strong as it is today without the dedication and talents he brings to the table. Thank you Bruce for your outstanding contribution to the MYH program.
