Message from the NYH President: NYH NEEDS YOU!
Dear Friends:
As spring begins, positions are opening up on the Board and in the coaching ranks. Please consider volunteering on or with the Board and/or as coach, assistant, team manager or fundraiser. The success of NYH for 50+ years results from the good mix of new families, veterans and many of the former “Pocket Rockets” returning to volunteer/coach in their old program. Traditionally, the NYH Board consists of three parents from the business community, three coaches and three former parent/volunteers. Communication and team building skills are necessary criteria to serve on the NYH Board. See “Want Ad” below for how to volunteer. Let’s hear from you!
Enjoy a respite from the rinks this spring and summer and do return to St. Seb’s with renewed enthusiasm in the fall. May all of us “big folk” remember that this great game of hockey belongs to our kids!
NEEDHAM YOUTH HOCKEY IS THE SUM OF ALL ITS PARTS

posted 05/11/2009 As hopefully all will remember from NYH registration, USA Hockey now requires all coaches and players to register directly with USA Hockey and send a confirmation to their in-town programs.
USA Hockey registration is now open and all players who signed up for travel hockey for 2009/2010 must register. USA Hockey will charge $35 fee to register your player or coach with USA Hockey. USA Hockey will automatically register all players with Mass Hockey. Registration is valid from May 1 2009 to April 30 2010.
Please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the USA Hockey Registration Menu Tab at top of page
Step 2: Choose Ice Players and Coaches on USA website
Step 3: Follow instructions on USA Hockey website
Step 4: (Very Important) - Once you receive the confirmation email that the player or coach is registered. You must send a copy of that email to the following email address:
Please Make every effort to complete this registration by the end of May.
Important Notes:
1. If you have any issues with registrations on USA Hockey website - all questions should go to USA Hockey, but it is a very straightforward process.
2. Players who have not completed the registration will not be allowed on the ice to practice with their teams (PW, Bantam, and Midget) or tryout (Mite and Squirt) until registration is completed and provided to NYH.
3. You only need to register with USA Hockey once per player or coach. If your child plays on multiple teams and he/she is registered through that program then you need to email a copy of USA Hockey registration number for 2009/2010 season or a copy of the confirmation email.
4. USA Hockey website allows you to register multiple players and/or coaches and then check out and only pay once to speed the process - follow the instructions on the site.

posted 05/02/2009 Congrats to Needham PW B2's for winning the NVL playoffs this year. After surviving a long season that ran from September thru April. The B2's stormed through the playoffs to be crowned champions.. Great all-round play --- goaltending, defense, and a strong offense kept their opponents on the run in every game.
Great work by the coaches and all the players.
The PW B2's win wrapped up a great season for NYH and all it's teams.
Enjoy spring and summer ---- We'll see everyone back at the rinks in the fall...

posted 03/21/2009 NYH would like to thank St Sebs for their support this season and another great year of hockey for NYH.
As the season wraps up, NYH wanted to remind the Mite, Squirt, and PW age players of the Arrows Hockey Camp / Goalie Clinic held at St Sebastians in late August.
Please use the link below for more information and to register. It is a great way to get geared up for the 2009/2010 hockey season.
