Week 2 Updates and Reminders NYH Members,
Week #1 is in the books! Thank you all for your patience as we adjust to new routines. A few notes, reminders, and changes below for Week #2.
Skills. As previously announced, our skills program begins this Thursday and Friday. These sessions appear in your team calendar. Skaters and goalies are both welcome at these sessions. Please use the same rink procedures that you would use for a team practice.
Goalie Skills. In addition to the skills program above, Mass Crease will begin our Friday night goalie skills program this week. Goalie skills takes place on Fridays at Daly Rink from now until Thanksgiving. Goalies of all ages from Mites through Midgets are welcome and encouraged to attend. If your child is a Mite or Squirt interested in goalie skills, please talk to your coach about borrowing equipment. Note that there has been a scheduling change and that this program will run at 6pm this week, 8pm from Sept 25 through Oct 30, and then back to 6pm for Nov 6 through Nov 20.
Game Day Mask Reminder. Please remind your players that masks are required for all forwards during faceoffs and at all times while on the bench. While enforcement of this rule seems to have been mixed during the first week of play, following the rules put in place is the best way to ensure that our kids are allowed to keep playing.
Gaiters Available in the NYH Store. We still have NYH gaiters available in both adult and youth sizes. They may be purchased in the Store tab on the NYH website and will be delivered to you by your team manager. Any items already purchased that weren't picked up last week will also find their way to you through your team manager.
Uniforms. Practice jerseys have been distributed to your coaches. Game jerseys and socks have been delayed this season but are expected to arrive in the next few weeks.
Have a great week of hockey, and good luck to all teams playing this weekend.
Chris
