2008-2009 Chatham Youth Hockey (CYH) Player Registration

If your son or daughter is interested in playing ice hockey, Chatham Youth Hockey is beginning the registration process for the 2008-2009 season.  The first step in this process is to begin collecting contact information for your son or daughter and their anticipated level of play.  With this information CYH will begin to confirm the number of teams, leagues to participate in, ice time and the cost for the coming season.

 

Levels of play:

Pee Wees: birth years 1996 and 1997

Squirts: birth years 1998 and 1999

Mites: birth years 2000 and 2001

Mini-mites: birth years 2002+

Mini-mites who wish to play at the mite level must receive the permission of Chatham Youth Hockey to do so.   

 

Please click on the here for the 2008-2009 registration form.  You may hand the completed

form to a coach or forward it to the contact listed on the form. 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact a board member or coach.  Feel free to forward to anyone who may have a son or daughter interested in hockey.  Remember to visit this site regularly to for the latest announcements.

 

2008-2009 Coaching Certification

Chatham Youth Hockey's success has always been due to great kids and strong parent involvement.  To that end, we would like to reach out and encourage more parents to get involved in our hockey program.  This coming year we anticipate 45+ kids interested in the mini and mite program and we need your assistance - hey, you are at the practices and games anyway!   As with all sports these days, to help you do need to take a coaching clinic.  Many of you are familiar with theRutgers safety program etc.  Well, USA Hockey requires the same of its coaches.  It's usually a one day commitment from 8am to 3pm (ish) typically.  The certification offers some great coaching materials and insurance.  The Morris County Youth Hockey League requires it of all coaches.  Also, many rinks and tournaments are USA Hockey affiliated and require it of coaches for insurance purposes.

 

This coming September 6th and 7th, 2008 the Atlantic District of USA Hockey will start to offer it’s coaching certification clinics again.   The following is a link the USA Hockey Coach’s Registration Manual:

The dates, times and locations for the clinics can be found on the USA Hockey website through the above link or at: http://www.usahockey.com/viewallclinics.aspx?usahockeytype=ICE

                                

The Level 1 and 2 clinics are very informative and entertaining.  I don't think you will find a sport with more interesting player, coach and particularly parent stories than ice hockey.  Again we encourage your help.

 

A reminder that Levels 1 and 2 must be renewed annually.  Last year’s coaches - please don’t forget to renew.
