PYH would like to thank everyone for participating in the evaluations and for your patience as we work through the details. This has allowed us time to plan a little sooner for next year.
Based on the numbers and skills of the players, it was decided to have two independent teams coached by Chris Palmer and Dave Martin. These team will focus on half ice jamborees complemented with independently scheduled half ice games. Players selected for these teams have been notified because of added scheduling requirements and additional costs specific to their particular teams.
The remaining players not contacted will be placed on an appropriate A or B level team in the fall. The primary reason for this decision was so that we could place the teams and players at an appropriate level within Empire Conference once we have a better idea on skill level of teams from other organizations.
Coaches for these teams have been identified and they also prefer waiting until the fall to finalize the remaining teams for the following reasons: (1) to give the kids the opportunity to grow; (2) to allow the coaches to touch base with other teams in the league; and (3) to give anyone that missed the evaluations or new players a chance to be evaluated.
We appreciate your continued patience, and we will contact you towards the end of the summer on what to expect for the 2013/14 season.
Thank you!
