Both goalie groups will share the ice with Power Edge Hockey during their sessions.

Important Information for Goalie Parents:

The practice time on your calendar may not always align with the correct ice time, so please double-check the schedule above.

Goalie participants will not take part in the Power Edge session, as it focuses on skating development.

Special Note for Mite Coaches:

If any of your players are designated as goalies for the week, they should attend the goalie skills session to prepare for their upcoming games.

We know this can be a bit confusing, but we’re actively working on improvements through Crossbar to streamline the process. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

USA Hockey Congress Approves Requirement For Neck Guards

Starting August 1, 2024, USA Hockey has mandated the use of neck guards for all players in youth, girls, and junior age classifications during games and practices. To ensure a comprehensive approach to safety, USA Hockey also recommends the use of cut-resistant socks, sleeves, or undergarments.

WYH prioritizes the well-being of our players, and we fully support these changes. We invite you to learn more about this significant ruling and its implications by visiting the official USA Hockey website here.
