Bruins FUNdamentals Begins the Week of September 20^th –

The Boston Bruins and FMC Ice Sports have teamed up for Bruins FUNdamentals, 8-week courses designed to provide beginner skaters with an introduction to ice hockey. Bruins FUNdamentals fall courses begin in September and November. Bruins FUNdamentals is held at various FMC ice rinks across the state, including Fall River, Taunton, Greenfield, Springfield, New Bedford, Franklin, Marlborough, Worcester, East Boston and Gardner. Skaters will not only receive expert skating instruction, but all skaters who register will also receive an official Bruins FUNdamentals jersey. The 8-week course is ADM compliant and focuses on skill development through small area games. Last year, over 85% of kids who participated in a FUNdamentals class proceeded to join their local youth hockey association in the fall.

Heading into the dog days of Summer and thoughts of an ice cold rink come to mind. There are still opportunities to cool down in a rink and heat things up for the season:

• Druzhba78 (PDF)/NESA Skating is what separates the best from the rest and the Ivan Pravilov method has proven to take skaters to the top time and time again

• Pro Ambitions Camps and Private Lessons for a variety of hockey skills

• RBHockey Camps of all kinds and use code HYDE50 when you sign up to get $50 off

• Teams Training A variety of preseason programs for skaters and goalies of all ages

• USA Hockey Lots of training ideas, like these Driveway Drills to do at home

Tryouts for the 2010/11 season are now behind you and the results are posted on the HPYH Teams Tab, 2010/2011 Tryout Results tab on the left of the page.

We had a great turnout, once again, which is exciting for the future growth of our program!

With all our teams, please remember that the season start is a long way off and there is usually some movement, families leaving the area, injuries, etc. The final number of teams may not be determined until August. If our number of participants changes, there is a possibility of fewer teams, so some players may move up to a different team based on where they ranked in tryouts. No one will move down.

Thanks again to all the skaters for their hard work, and to everyone who helped pull these tryouts together.

Questions? Please contact one of the Tryout Committee Members listed below or attend the Tryout Meeting Thursday, March 11th, 7pm, at Bajko Rink.

Up in the stands is the man with the HPYH Jacket, filming the hockey action on the ice. Next to him are a few kids running the play by play for the community broadcast to be televised at a date to be named later. By the locker room, interviewing every skater as they prepare to go to the next adventure of the day. The man recording our kids achievements? Mr. Paul Hellen.

For many years Paul has been an integral part of Hyde Park Youth Hockey and other community activities. Sadly, Paul passed away on March 1 at his home in South Boston. Please click here to view his obituary and information about his wake and funeral.

Paul always loved Hyde Park Youth Hockey and he will rest forever in his beloved HPYH Jacket. Please consider sharing your thoughts with his family by either attending his services or sending a message through the legacy.com website.

Paul, we will miss you.

Communication from USA Hockey:

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Dear Program Administrator/Coach

We’ve worked with our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael Stuart, to provide you with pertinent regarding the H1N1 virus, including recommendations to reduce the likelihood of spreading the infection.

Specifically, USA Hockey recommends:

Provide individual water bottles for players; do not share water bottles
Regularly wash hands
Clean workout gear for each practice/competition
Keep gloves on during the traditional handshake with opponents

You should be aware that symptoms of the virus include: fever (102 degrees fahrenheit or greater), cough, muscle aches, runny nose, headache or sore threat, with the potential for more serious complications, including pneumonia.

Those affected by the H1N1 virus typically have been children and young adults.

Transmission of the virus may occur from the day before the onset of symptoms and during the five to seven days that the symptoms are present. Infected individuals should stay home until signs and symptoms have resolved, with no fever present for at least 24 hours. The 24-hour no-fever timeline should be achieved naturally, without the aid of fever reducing medications.

Additional information regarding H1N1 is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by visiting www.cdc.gov/H1N1Flu/.

Best wishes for a successful season.

Welcome back to Bajko everyone.

As things are ramping up, I want to ask everyone to read this season's letter from me (click here to dowload PDF). With the rink open, so is our Snack Bar. See my letter for our call for volunteers to man it. Also remember, final assessment payments were due September 15, and watch for information on the website and at the rink about upcoming fund- (and fun!) -raising opportunites.

Have a great season Eagles.

Bill Dunn
HPYH President
