Registration and attendance at the spring evaluations is required to be offered a position on a U10, U12, U14, or High School team. All players MUST be in good financial standing with NKYHA or their prior club to participate in the NKYHA 2019-20 evaluations. A player’s acceptance of an offered position is secured by making a commitment deposit of $300 towards 2019-20 fees. All U10, U12, U14, and High School players attending spring evaluations will be offered a position on a team.
For HS aged players either the Varsity or one of two JV teams.
***2005 birth year players entering 9th grade in the fall are encouraged to play High School hockey at NKYHA for the 2019-20 season. Any 2005 birth year player in 8th grade or below must play on the U14 team. The league the HS teams participate in require players to be attending high school in the 9th-12th grade.
NKYHA is planning to offer one U14 team in 2019-20. The expected level of play is with other area MYHL teams.
For U10 and U12, players will be offered a position on either one of the BTHL (aka Travel) teams or an MYHL team.
Like last year, U8 will conduct a player skills and evaluation session during the association spring evaluations. Parents and players will receive feedback on overall skill development and progression. U8 will also have a commitment fee due in the spring. Similar to the commitment process for HS, U14, U12, and U10 teams, a U8 commitment fee ($TBD) will allow the organization to better plan the U8 program based upon the number of players committed for the 2019-20 season.
Details on additional assistant coaches/team staff, USA Hockey registration, NKYHA registration, commitment fee, and jersey ordering process will be available as the 2018-19 season winds down and the spring season begins to ramp up.
Thank you,
Marc Webb
NKYHA President
