Equal Playing Time

Coaches,

Please read the article that is posted below from the most recent edition of the MN Hockey HEP newsletter. This article reiterates many of the reasons why MYHA has adapted an equal playing time policy. I hope all of you are enjoying the season so far and if I can assist you in anyway please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,

Jeff

USA Hockey CEP Certification Clinics

There are no clinics currently scheduled. Location and times will be updated when we get the information. Here is the link on www.USAHockey.com for the clinic schedule: http://www.usahockey.com//Template_Usahockey.aspx?NAV=CO_12&ID=220328

The District Registrar will not roster a coach that is not properly certified so please attend a certification clinic so you can be on the ice with your team. MYHA will reimburse you for the clinic fees.
