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.

PROSPECTIVE SPONS0RS

Bowling Green Youth Hockey Association is an Ohio non-profit corporation and a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization and as such your contributions are tax deductible. BGYHA provides the opportunity for the youth of the Bowling Green area to grow and mature through the challenging sport of ice hockey. BGYHA, a fully-sanctioned member of USA Hockey, relies on the collaborative efforts of many people who volunteer their efforts in providing a forum for competitive youth ice hockey in northwest Ohio. While our young players have a wide range of skill levels, they are all committed to the sport and display an intense desire to improve as athletes and individuals.

Aside from ice hockey skills, our players learn how to function as a team, which, as we all know, is essential regardless of what occupation they may pursue someday. Additionally, the players develop a strong sense of being part of something special at an early age. They will remember these experiences and use these attributes for the rest of their lives.

The BGYHA program involves boys and girls from ages 4 to 18 and has grown to over 300 participants since its 1967 inaugural season.

However, ice hockey is an expensive sport. Player Registration Fees range from $140 to $1,250.00 per season. These fees primarily cover ice time rental costs for practices and games. In addition there are the costs of Officials, equipment and uniforms. Each of our players and their families participate in fund-raising activities to help offset these expenses and, as well, to raise additional funds to cover incremental tournament fees and out-of-pocket travel costs. But even after these efforts, there are certain children who are still unable to participate given their financial situation.

On behalf of all the players, coaches, managers and board members of Bowling Green Youth Hockey Association, we invite you to become a Sponsor.

Sincerely,

Mike Furnas, President
