Hello hockey families:

IYHA is excited to announce our house programming for the 2015-2016 ice hockey season!

At IYHA, we work hard each and every year to improve our scheduling and coaching, and to try to advance the skills and character development of our skaters. The additions of our hockey director, Jordy Trottier, and our new coach-in-chief, Jeff Ibsen, are part of those efforts. Both coaches will be instrumental in keeping IYHA on the forefront of area house league hockey. 

Our house practices will start the week of October 5, 2015, and run through March 4, 2016. In addition to practices, every team at every level will have at least one game on weekends we have game ice scheduled.

The IYHA girls program will have two practice ice times a week, with a format to be decided at a later date.

Mini Mites will continue to have two sessions a week (one week night and one on Saturday. At least one will be practice, with the number of games this season TBD.

Mites will be divided up into mite minor and mite major groupings, according to birth year, and will have two ADM-style practices a week, along with at least a one hour game time slot on the weekends we play. It is our goal for our mite majors to play a few full ice games towards the end of the season to prepare them better for squirt play.

Squirts will have one ADM-style practice a week (with all the squirts together), and, new this year, the second weekly squirt ADM-style practice will be conducted with only 2 teams on the ice, allowing the squirts to acquire more fully the skills focusing on the basics of full-ice hockey.

Peewees will have one team practice a week (with only 2 teams on the ice together), and, new this year, they will have one ADM-style practice every other week crafted and instructed by Coach Trottier.

Bantams will have one team practice a week (with only 2 teams on the ice together), and, new this year, they will be given one ADM-style practice every other week crafted and instructed by Coach Trottier.

All official days and times will be forthcoming. Please direct any questions you have about IYHA and our house and Racers teams to our administrator at iyhamail@iyha.com.

Thank you so much for considering skating with IYHA!
