Growing Girls Ice Hockey

Franklin, Medfield and King Philip/Walpole Youth Hockey Programs are teaming up to help grow Girls Youth Hockey. The three programs will be conducting a joint tryout in the March timeframe and collectively forming girl’s only teams mixing players from the three programs to compete at various levels in the Middlesex Yankee Girls Hockey League for the 2012/2013 season. With the strength of these three programs, we feel confident in building competitive teams with all home games at our local rinks.

To learn more about the Middlesex Yankee Girls Hockey League click on this link www.mycgl.com. 

The plan is to form teams at the U-10, U-12, U-14 and U-19 divisions. With this joint effort, we will be able to build multiple teams at each age division and compete at various levels. Each team would have two practices and a game per week and the three programs are also planning to put together a skills night as an option. 

As another option, separate from the teams playing in the Middlesex Yankee Girls Hockey League, we are also looking to form an in-house league for those girls new to hockey or those who just want to play recreationally.  These teams will be made up of girls from all three programs split up into multiple equally talented teams to compete against each other at our local rinks.  They will also have practice twice a week and an option for skills session as an extra.  

With all that said, we are looking for some quick feedback from you in an effort to gauge the interest level of this new joint effort.  For those with girls currently playing Ice Hockey or for Girls who may be interested in playing, please take a moment to fill out a quick survey.  We would appreciate it if you could complete this survey.  Thank You in advance for your time.

To complete the survey, go to: www.kpwhockey.org on the left hand tool bar click on Growing Girls Hockey.  Complete the Survey and hit Complete.

Once all three programs have completed their survey process, we will be contacting you with additional information and tryout dates.  So even if you’re currently on the fence, please fill out the survey, so you can be kept in the loop on any further emails.

If you have questions related to this program, please feel free to email them to

Please feel free to pass this email onto any girls who you feel may be interested.

Thank You,

KPWYH Board

Dear KPW family:
 
First of all, best wishes to all as we enter the Holiday season. It’s hard to believe that the season is already almost half over…
 
The KPW Board is already looking ahead to next season and beyond, and we need to ask for your help. As you may already be aware, Board position terms are two year commitments, and as a result several positions will be opening for the upcoming 2012-2013 season. In particular we will be looking for individuals to fill the following positions:
 
Mite Director
Bantam Director
Equipment Manager
Secretary
 
The Board may also have need for interested individuals to serve in other capacities, and would like to identify interested individuals soon. Ideally, we’d like to fill these positions promptly so that the new Board members may apprentice with the current Board members in these positions. We expect that this will make the transition easier when the new terms officially begin on June 1, 2012. Depending on interest, interviews will be held in January or February for these positions, and the Board would like to begin scheduling these soon. If you are interested in serving, please contact Terry Sullivan at .
 
Thank you in advance for your interest in serving and your continued support of the King Philip-Walpole Youth Hockey Association.
