Registration for the 08-09 season is now open.  A late fee will be assessed for all registrations October 1, 2008 and after.   You will "sign" some forms online.   Your team manager will also ask you to sign forms (Medical and Code of Conduct) again at the beginning of the season as an actual signature is required for the team manager's credentials notebooks.

ALL JYH skaters MUST register online with USAH in order to participate with JYH.  USA Hockey provides you with insurance through the hockey season.   You will need your USA Hockey number in order to complete the online registration.

Ice schedules will be available in the fall.

Dear Jackson Youth Hockey Parent,

As we move into the heart of the summer, I know that it is difficult to imagine that it is time for your hockey player to prepare for the upcoming season. But, it is!

The Jackson Youth Hockey Director, Justin Martin, will be holding his summer hockey camp at the end of the month. The camp is offered to all levels of players and is important preparation for your child before they step out on the ice for the 2008/2009 season. The camp has both a dry-land and on-ice training and will focus on skill development, shooting, stick handling and game situations.

It is important that we have as close to 100% participation as possible. I can’t stress this enough. As a part of the Jackson Hockey Organization, your participation is essential to the success of both a continued competitive hockey program and your own child’s preparedness compared with his/her peers. I urge you to register for this important program in the next week as Justin needs to begin planning the details of the camp and needs registration numbers.

I have attached a copy of the camp registration for your convenience and look forward to seeing you and your child there.  (See Handouts / Forms)

Thanks for your consideration,

Sincerely,

Shasti Cooper

President

Jackson Youth Hockey
