New Season - Same Standards of Play Established for 2006-2007 Season |
|
As you may be aware, there were new standards of play for youth hockey developed for the 2006-2007 season. While there were no rule changes, how the rules are called have changed. Much like the NHL in 2005-2006, impediment penalties (hooking/tripping/holding) will be strictly enforced. USA Hockey has provided a video demonstrating the new "Standards of Play". The video is available in streaming format on the USA Hockey website. Because of the changes it is important that coaches, parents, and players view this video for an understanding of how officials will call games this year. The video includes very clear examples of what will be legal / illegal. |

HYHA Player Scholarships |
|
Hockey is a great game, but as you can see in the information about Travel Costs, it can be expensive to participate. Hopkins Hockey provides scholarships for players that may need a little financial assistance to get them through the year.
If you need some financial assistance to ensure your young hockey player is able to participate, please contact Brad Davis via email or call him at 952-933-7038. |
