Bowling Green Youth Hockey Association

A sincere BGYHA thank you goes out to all of our second year Bantams and their parents for their hard work and committment to our program. We wish you the best of luck in your hockey future.

If you are interested in playing in the Junior High Spring League at Tam O Shanter please contact Dan DeWitt at ddewitt@bgcs.k12.oh.us as soon as possible.

Travel players, parents, coaches and managers - be sure to turn in both of your washed jerseys after your last game. Puck bags and loaned goalie equipment must be turned into a board member or room 164 with a detailed email about the return.

If you currently have a rental youth equipment set, please reply to info@bgyouthhockey.org with your intention to return the set, purchase the set, or your uncertainty.

Congrats to the Ice Cats on their performances during their league season and the Buckeye tournament. The Squirt team had a number of big wins throughout the year, but fell short in the tourney. The Pee Wees won the tournament by beating Ft. Wayne 4-3 in OT of the championship game and the Bantams won 2 out of 3 games, losing only to the eventual tournament champion by a 5-4 score.

Bowling Green Youth Hockey

The Bowling Green Youth Hockey Association is open to any boy or girl between the ages of 4 and 18. The player’s age as of January 1^st determines the division they will participate in.

BGYHA will continue to offer USA Hockey’s Initiation Program for the 4-5 year old players. This program teaches participants the skills needed to play hockey in a noncompetitive, learning environment. Through practices and drills, participants will learn stick handling, puck control, shooting and skating. There will be a major emphasis on skating, as it is the basic skill to the sport.

An informational meeting designed especially for the first year parents and players will take place prior to the start of the season. Once your registration is received, you will be placed on our mailing list, which will enable you to receive our newsletters and any other information regarding meetings and other pertinent information. After a short presentation, equipment needs will be explained and Board members will be available to answer any questions about the youth hockey program. Due to the size of our program and the limited available ice time, it may be necessary to limit the number of new players we can accept. We will take new players on a first-come, first served basis. A used equipment sale will be held in early September at the BGSU Ice Arena.

The Bowling Green Youth Hockey Program provides young people in our area a winter-long recreational program that will expose players to good sportsmanship, healthy exercise, concepts of team play, and a sense of accomplishment as they develop and improve upon their individual hockey skills.

Coaches are needed for the season. If you are interested in coaching please contact a Board Member.
