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 1st 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.
