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.

Good morning Parents,

 Hopefully, this message finds your family safe during these challenging times. Over the last month, the board has met virtually a few times to continue our planning for what we hope will be a fun and exciting 2020/2021 season this fall.  With the inability to conduct evaluations or conclude our season normally, we have had to adapt accordingly.

The board has voted to not increase tuition for next year.  This is our 5^th year holding our full season tuition steady and we know that in times like these, it is more important than ever to keep our costs low. We have also decided to postpone our normal payment schedule, which typically requests a first installment by June 1st, by at least one month.  While we understand that in these most uncertain circumstances, hockey is very low on the priority list, we will continue preparations in hope of playing a full season next year.  In order to assist in our preparations, we respectfully ask that you keep us informed of your intent to play with GHPYH next season.  The payment portal will be open and will begin accepting payments now, if you would like to get a head start on the season. (Mite parents, your final amount due will be determined by your childs placement once that occurs)

 

It is our hope to continue with the same offerings that we have provided in years past to our members once again this year. That includes:

·         35 Game Valley Hockey League Schedule / 25 Game Mite Schedule

·         2+ Practices per week

·         25 week Fall Skills Session with Pride Hockey (starting in late July)

·         5 Week Summer Skills with Pride Hockey

·         25 Goalie skills session with ITZ Goaltending

We will continue to offer an area best 40% discount for dedicated goalies at the squirt level and above. We also maintained the 50% discount for a 3rd child in the program. 

As we get closer to the start of the season and our costs become clearer, we will keep you updated on offering enhancement or adjustments. We will also take the advice of local, state and USA Hockey officials when making any decisions about a return to hockey activities. But to reiterate, we will maintain tuition at the same rate as last year.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying some additional family time.  If you have any questions or there is anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
