The mission of the Greater Haverhill / Pentucket Youth Hockey Program is to administer and maintain a not-for-profit organization designed to support inter-league competition in the sport of hockey. It is our objective to foster good sportsmanship, discipline and teamwork through the execution of structured programs. We will provide for a positive learning experience geared towards developing the fundamental knowledge and athletic ability of our players.

Do you have a backyard rink, either homemade or naturally made?  If so...time to take a picture of the rink, with HP Thunder player(s) skating.  Then post to our HP Thunder Facebook Page...why do you ask?

Our friends at 4S Hockey have offered $100 in raffle sales to the TEAM whose player or parent produces the best Backyard Rink Photo, to be judged by 4S Hockey.

We have seen a few already, so let's go get some pictures going!

Thank you Frank and 4S Hockey for the contest!

 

Deadline for submitting photos to HP Thunder Facebook page is Sunday January 25, 2015.

LEARN TO SKATE

 
GREATER HAVERHILL / PENTUCKET YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
 
WHO?
 
Open to boys and girls ages 4-10, living in the Massachusetts communities of Georgetown, Groveland, Haverhill, Merrimac, West Newbury and other surrounding towns.  Our program also serves the Southern New Hampshire towns of Atkinson, Hampstead, Plaistow, and Newton.  You’ll be taught by our USA Hockey certified GHPYH coaching staff.  Our coaching staff has satisfactory CORI reports (criminal background checks).

You will learn to skate; skating is the stepping stone of hockey players.  We will also teach basic hockey skills.

WHAT IF?
 
I can’t be there that day? You can start any Saturday. Attendance is NOT mandatory so it’s ok to miss one or more dates.
 
WHAT ELSE?
 
The cost is $75.00 per session (payable at the first skate). We have several ability levels. You will be placed in the proper level by our coaching staff.  GHPYH was founded in 2009 with the merger of Haverhill Youth Hockey and Pentucket Youth Hockey.  We strive to foster athletic development, good sportsmanship, confidence, self-esteem, discipline and teamwork through the sport of hockey.
