Excellent Christmas Charity
by posted 11/20/2008

NYHA Families:  Please see the important letter below from the Mitchell Family (former NYH'ers) and the Walk the Walk Foundation:

Dear Friends and Family,

David and I are now gearing up for the “Walk the Walk’s” Christmas Drive!       

We are again working with Social Services in Mercer County, West Virginia, and Maple View Church in Bluefield, West Virginia.  We will be delivering everything on Saturday, December 13th and welcome any who would like to join us!       

Here is how you can help:

1.  Tell friends about us!  We have a lot of children to find sponsors for and it would be very helpful if everyone could pass our information along.  Please explain that we personally deliver the packages to the families.  We also give out disposable cameras and receive pictures of the children actually opening the gifts. This is very rewarding because you get to see the end result of your generosity.

 2. Contact us to Sponsor a child(ren)  You will be given the Child(ren) names, sizes and interests. Purchase 3 - 5 gifts per child.   These gifts should be appropriate for the gender and age and wrapped individually.  The list below is a sample of the types of things that could be purchased for each child.

Clothes   Books    Toys   Shoes   Hobby/Craft Item   School Supplies    Winter Clothing

Some things to consider:

* Wrap packages and label each of them with the name of the recipient and the family number that you will be given

 * Please make all purchases at Sears, Wal-Mart or JC Penney. These are their local stores and would make for an easy exchange if necessary.

 * Include gift receipts in each box

 * Please make each item age and gender appropriate.  No toy weapons or unedited music.

 * All gifts are tax deductible.  If you provide us with copies of receipts we will mail you a receipt for your taxes.

  3.  We have several requests for Bikes; Contact Kim for gender and size to purchase a bike and helmet from Wal-mart.  (They do not have to be assembled!)

 4. Gift Cards - Gifts cards are a great gift and allow each family to purchase what they need most (i.e. socks and underwear).  Please buy them in $25 increments from Sears or Wal-Mart.  This can be easily purchased online and sent to our address below.

All Gifts and Donations must be delivered to 131 St. Andrews Road, Severna Park MD 21146
by Sunday, December 7th. We will be personally delivering packages to West Virginia.


Thank you for making a difference in these children’s Christmas by “Walking the Walk” and May God bless you and your family this Christmas Season!

 Sincerely,  Kim & David Mitchell

Striving to make a Difference...One step at a time



 
NYH Game Slots
by posted 11/18/2008

Greetings NYH Families -
In response to recent inquiries about the number of games each team will play this year, we thought it wise to clarify the budgeted game allocations for each team, the status of our game scheduling and options for squads to seek additional games if they desire.

The NYHA Board set a budget this year based on each team receiving twice-per-week practices, clinics and skill instructors, and a fixed number of home games. Our budget allocated 15 home games for each CBHL team and 10 home games for each CCHL team (not inc. Mite rec -- they will play two home ice 3 1/2 hr jamborees). Most teams will also receive an equivalent number of away league games (15 for CBHL; 10 for CCHL).
 
However, due to differences in the number of teams in any given CBHL or CCHL division there may be nuanced differences in the game allocations for league games. So, if your team is in a division with 10 teams and you have to play each twice then you'll have 18 league games (9 opponents x 2 games each). Likewise, if you're in a division with 8 teams with two-games-per then you'll have 14 league games. While we are often asked to vote on the number of teams in a division, the leagues have final say and they determine the
game-play requirements.

While we are sympathetic to concerns about teams who may perceive their game slot allocations are insufficient, or down from last year, we can only offer that the perception is inconsistent with the actual schedule. In other words, most teams will play the same number of games they have played in the past when the season is ultimately complete. Some age levels, especially Midget and Bantam, experienced gaps in their schedules due to league miscues on the front-end of the season. However, those teams are now setup to
receive their allocated game slots between now and the conclusion of the season and will likely benefit come playoff time from not having their entire season front-loaded.

In addition, many of the team managers and coaches have already been advised that they are free to seek non-reciprocal away games against opponents from around the region. Several of our teams are very successful about finding willing opponents and will likewise have more non-league games on their schedule than other teams who rely solely on the single NYH scheduler to do that work for them.

However, it is important that the team consider the collective interest of the coaches, manager and families before making a commitment to travel for non-league games. That conversation must take place in advance of booking non-league away games because NYHA will not be responsible for your team's failure to meet an away game commitment due to lack of player interest and availability. Team schedulers must also coordinate with Beth Petenbrink, the NYH scheduler, to avoid double-booking the team for any given day.

We also think it is valuable to remember that the young men and women who play hockey at NYHA should be afforded time to do other things . . . an occassional break from hockey on a winter weekend is a healthy way to ensure your young hockey player continues to be passionate about hockey come February or March. Ours is a long seven month season, far longer than any other sport these youngsters will participate in.

Providing a break from twice-per-weekend game committments is appropriate and something that USA Hockey asks us to consider in order to keep the fun in the game during the protracted youth hockey season. In the past we may have been less-than-diligent in meeting that requirement. This season's scheduling circumstances, coupled with an increase in Midshipman home games that reduced our home weekend ice options, created a scenario where we can better distribute our game committments across the entire seven-plus months of hockey thus ensuring your young hockey player will still be interested in the game when playoffs and year-end tourneys come around in March.

So, please know that the budgeted number of games is the same as it has been for the past several years; that there may be some fine-point differences between league game allocations based on the number of teams in a given division; that each team is permitted to seek non-reciprocal away game opportunities; and that giving your young hockey player a chance to do something other than hockey on a saturday or sunday morning is something we consider important and necessary to keeping the fun and passion in this great game.

We hope this is helpful and thank you for understanding.

Your NYHA Board

NYHA Website Usage Explanations and Tips
by posted 09/09/2008

I have been getting a lot of questions, recently, on passwords, accounts and how to access the NYHA website.  Therefore, this message attempts to answer those questions for everyone in a single message.  So if you have emailed me recently with a question about your account, a manager or parent account, please read this and then let me know it you still have questions.

There are multiple ways of accessing depending on your role in NYHA. 

When you first wanted to register your player, you were required set up an account on the NYHA website.  This account contains your family's contact information for both the parents and players.  The username for this account is the email address that you originally used to set up the account.  (Some people have used a different email address when they return to their account, which gives them a second account.)  Please consistantly use the same email address to access your website account to avoid creating a duplicate account. 

Also, if your contact information changes, please edit your website account and update your information by clicking on the "Edit My Account" tab on the left hand side of the web page.  You can also control which of your contact information can be seen on the team roster by selecting the Private, Roster or Public options next to the address and phone number fields on your account page. The team managers do not have the privileges to make those changes for you, so please don't ask them.  If you forget your password for your account, just follow the instructions on the "Edit My Account" page and your password will be emailed to you.

There are two passwords associated with each team that provide access to different features of the the teams portion of the website.  The first is the team manager password which allows the team manager and coaches to post bulletins, generate team emails, post game results, and post team events on the team's schedule.  Games and practices are posted to the schedules by the NYHA scheduler, Beth Petenbrink.  She works very hard at scheduling all of the practices and games for 15 teams, so thank her if you see her.

The second password allows the team to access the team roster.  I emailed everyone that is currently on a team roster their team password tonight.  If you attempt to click on the the "Roster" portion of your team's website, you will be prompted to enter your name and the team password.

I think that should answer a lot of the questions about the website that parents have been having lately.  If not, send me an email.

Thanks,

Bill Zingler
