SCYH STARS
HELPING TO BUILD LEADERS FOR LIFE

The objective of The Southern Connecticut Youth Hockey Organization 
is to provide a well-organized and supervised youth ice hockey program,
offering opportunities to children of all levels of skill and proficiency.
 

To all,

Please note effective today parents/guardians/spectators are NOT allowed into the rink for practices, Stick Time or Public Skate session viewing.

Update is attached and posted at

Milfordice.com

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. 

The following  information is from the CT State DPH Command Center:

1) The sports pause remains in place until Tuesday, January 19th

2) Any practice/tryout activities should not be happening until that time

3) Activities out-of-state are not allowed during the current pause and will still not be allowed under the rules that will be in place after January 19th

4) No games are allowed before February 1st

5) Violating the sports on pause or other sector rules can carry fines both for the club participants/organizers and facility operators, and the suspension of activities to be enforced by both local health departments and the CT Hockey Conference. 

We continue to get daily complaints from parents and club organizers about rinks and other clubs not following the rules in place. 

The sentence above from the CT State DPH confirms our sport is ‘self-policing’. If we want to avoid a CT State shutdown, everyone needs to follow the rules.

On 1/11/21, Gov. Lamont said at his press conference, "that all youth sports can resume on Jan. 19 2021, but the ban on interstate travel and games remains in place".  Based on this information your team coach should be reaching out to you soon. Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.

The SCYH BOD is pleased to announce the following Level Administrators for the 2021-2022 season. The Administrators job descriptions are located in the Documents section of the SCYH Website. The Administrators will be helpful for coaches, parents and the members of the BOD, especially during tryouts and the off season. There were many challenges that had to be overcome due to COVID this season. The BOD is hopeful these additions will make things easier for everyone in the future, as we continue to learn and adapt to the ever changing challenges that arise.

The Administrators Contact info will be located (soon)under the Contacts Tab on the SCYH Website.

Thank you and we hope you have a Happy Holiday Season

Keeping it real

With the start of 2020-2021 hockey season to begin soon, the SCYH BOD would like to welcome everyone back and wish you a safe and fun experience. The season can seem like a long stretch at times and over the course of the next several months, there will be occasions when emotions can run high.

If there comes a time during the season where you need to voice a concern, please remember that all inquiries must begin with the team coach. If the coach (or the coaching staff) can not resolve the issue, the coach will then initiate communication with the appropriate person on the BOD.

Please remember, if the BOD is not aware of a problem, it can not be addressed.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and remember:

This is the time in the kids lives to have fun and enjoy the experience.

Please do not be the parent this sign was made for!

If you have not already done so, please visit the Milford Ice Arena (MIA) Website and fill out the MIA waiver. Also please be sure to become familiar with the new MIA COVID protocols.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and we look forward to seeing you around the rink.
