The March schedule has been revised for a 2nd time to accomodate Arena and team change requirements. Schedule is located under the Monthly Schedule and DOCUMENTS tabs of the website.
Jamboree timing has changed for Pee Wee and Presidents League players and Tryout timing has changed for ALL Midgets.
The 2009 / 2010 season is under way: Kids are back in school! The Drills Players are on the ice. Mite Skills has returned. The Wednesday Skills Program with Matt Gibbons has kicked off. House League games commenced last week. At least half of the travel teams have started playing games and the other half will begin in Mid-October. What a great time of year.
As always, at the beginning of this season we are experiencing small issues around scheduling, rosters etc. We ask your indulgence as we get everything on track and move into an exciting and enjoyable season of Quincy Youth Hockey!
On a different note, I would like to address something that has come to my attention on many levels. There have been an inordinate number of complaints of poor behavior in the rink, both on and off the ice, including disrespecting coaches, vandalism of locker rooms and children running around the rink unsupervied.
I ask that you talk to your players and other children to address the following:
In The Rink:
If your child is running around the rink, skateboarding inside the rink, playing hockey inside, wrestling etc., they will be spoken to by a board member, rink employee or coach and the behavior will be brought to the attention of the child’s parents for action. This type of behavior has gone unchecked far too long and is extremely unsafe, as well as disruptive to those who are trying to enjoy a game or watch their child practice. Please, speak to your children about this and help us curb this behavior before it gets out of hand this year.
On The Ice / In The Locker Room:
At the coaches meeting this year I informed the coaches that we will have Zero Tolerance for disrespectful behavior during practice, during games, in the locker room and in the rink. Each player must respect coaches, competitors, officials, parents, fans and arena employees alike.
QYH coaches are volunteers and many have been around for a long time. They take coaching seriously, but it is impossible to teach the game of hockey to those that are trying to learn when other players are back talking, shooting pucks off the boards, talking when the coach is talking (both on the ice and in the locker room), etc.
I have let the coaches know that they have the leverage to bench or remove players from the ice during practice and games for any disrespectful or behavioral issues. Please feel free to email me directly if you have any questions regarding this (
).
Having said all that, here’s looking forward to a great season for all our players and families.
Please familiarize yourselves w/ GBYHL Procedures, especially those concerning rescheduling games. Basically, if you are the team that reschedules, you are ultimately responsible for all arrangements for the make up, including refs and timekeepers.
