King Philip Walpole Youth Hockey Tryout Information

The KPWYH Program is ready to open registration for the 2010/2011 hockey season.   This past season KPWYH experienced the need to bring in a few extra players during the season to fill some team roster spots.  This year we need to closely manage any new growth for the upcoming 10/11 season prior to staffing teams.  The registration period will dictate KPW’s ability to accommodate the number of new players.  Please keep in mind that a balance must be maintained among these factors: number of players, number of teams, quality coaching, practice ice availability and league space.

First priority to play for KPWYH in the 10/11 season will go to those players currently registered in the 09/10 season.  Further, we will extend the opportunity for new players to register and tryout and then be placed on teams “waiting list priority”.  Players from the waiting list will be assigned to a team if space is available in the appropriate division.  Wait list priority will go to those players who reside in one of the 4 KPWYH towns (Wrentham, Walpole, Norfolk and Plainville) then to players outside of the KPW towns.

About this year tuition

Our goal is to keep tuition increases to a minimum, however rising ice cost and league fees makes it difficult not to have some increase.  Again this year we are adding a fundraising fee up front to help drive the increase down.  Players will have the opportunity to recoup the fundraising fee at the start of the season by selling Calendar Raffle tickets.  Players will again receive 10 calendar raffles at the start of the season to sell and recoup the $100.00 fundraising fee

New KPW Jersey’s

We are excited to announce we will have New KPW Jersey for next season.  The cost of the jersey is included in your tuition.  In addition, these jerseys will have the player’s last name on the back and the shirts will be theirs to keep.  All players trying out will have an opportunity to get sized for next season’s jerseys.

USA Hockey Registration

Again all players must register individually with USA / Mass Hockey and pay a $35 Registration Fee prior to May 1^st, 2010.  This registration period begins April 1, 2010.  Further information on how and when to register will be provided via email prior to that time.

KPW Players, Parents and Coaches

I’m sure by now you have all heard about the tragic injury that a Norwood High School player suffered during a game last Saturday. Six days have passed since Matt Brown was transported and admitted to Children’s Hospital after striking the end boards with the top of his helmet with just enough force to cause cervical vertebrae in his neck to fracture.

If you are familiar with Facebook then please take a few minutes and become a FAN of “Pray For Matt Brown # 3” and if you would like to express your thoughts via the comment tab then please do so.  As of today Matt was fast-approaching 14,000 fans from around the world.

Mike and Sue Brown (parents) and their daughter Kelly (Matt’s sister) will need and can use all the support that is available from the extended hockey family that is out there; not only right now, but for a long time to come.   A fund has been established at the Norwood Bank.   Please spread the word that any and all donations would be greatly appreciated. 

It’s time for all the hockey family’s to pull together and support the Browns. It doesn’t matter what town a player plays for, all players are all of our kids, and we help out all of them just as if they are our own.  With that said, the KPWYH program has set up an easy way for you to make donations through the KPWYH web site and make a difference.  Or you can mail your donations to the address below.   All the donations collected through the KPWYH web site will be sent on behalf of The KPWYH Family and list those who donated.  To donate, please go to www.kpwhockey.org  on the left hand tool bar (fifth item from the bottom), click on: Matt Brown Fund.  Follow the instructions from there.
