The Mite and Squirt placements have been released and are available here:

Mite Placement 

Squirt Placement

All placements are based on the tryout scores. We looked at having coaches input as a factor but the coaches feedback did not drastically differ from the tryout scores so there were no placements affected by that information. If you have any questions please contact .

The coaches for all the teams have not yet been determined. If you would like to be considered please send an email to . Coaching interviews will be taking in the coming months.

If you have any basic questions you can contact and it will be forwarded to the responsible party.

The registration for the 2013-2014 is open and tryouts will take place in the next few weeks. The board wants to send a preview of what is to come for the next season.

 

Ice Time:

In the past few seasons SYHA has worked towards more predictable practice times but there have been some limitations due to our ice allocation at Buffone. We have acquired additional ice time at Northstar during the week and kept our allocation at Buffone allowing us to stay with a fixed schedule for the entire year. This also gives us control over more ice, giving us more options for player development.

 

Peewee and Bantam Co/Op

The CoOp with the Junior Crusaders for Peewees and Bantams was a success this year and all of the participants had a great experience. It has allowed the organization to field more competitive teams and keep the parity within the teams closer. We will continue with the CoOp this year but all registrations will now be done on the Junior Crusaders site. This allows us to streamline the scheduling for these teams.

Bantam Games

The Bantams will be moving to the Valley league from Northstar. The Valley league offers more competition and parity which should better the experience for these teams.

 

Northstar:

Northstar has increased their commitment of games from 25 to 28 for the squirts and peewees. (plus double elimination playoffs). Northstar is also partnering with the Rhode Island Youth Hockey League (Southern New England Hockey Conference). This will give the PeeWee and squirt teams the opportunity to play some home and home games, ~5 travel games for the year, and introduce them to travel hockey.   The playoff winner of each division will have a one game playoff with its Rhode Island counterpart determine the overall champion.

 

Northstar will remain the home rink for all ages below Bantam and most games will be played there.   

 

Mites

Mites will play cross ice at NorthStar with the higher level teams also playing in 10 full ice games after January 1st. The cost for the Mite teams will be less than the full season full ice teams and the cost for each mite will be adjusted once tryouts are done and the teams finalized.

 

We wish all teams continued good luck in the playoffs. SYHA has ice through the month of April. The coaches will be easing away from full session practices after the playoffs complete and your teams practice times will be used for full-ice family skates and multi-team scrimmages. Schedules for post-playoffs will be coming in the next few days. 

 

It's a very long season and SYHA thanks you for your support.
If you have any questions send an email to .
