At a recent meeting, the PYH Board of Directors reviewed travel for the upcoming season. The Board approved the following tuition schedule for our various travel teams which participate in the Middlesex-Yankee Conference, Valley League and Town Line (Mite) for the 2015-2016 season. Fees and Information for our House (non-travel) programs (Learn to Skate, Instructional and Mite House) will be announced in a separate email.
For the 2015-2016 season we are excited to announce that our girls program is switching league affiliation and will participate in the Middlesex-Yankee Conference. Also, due to the increasing interest in girls hockey, we will be fielding two U-10 teams in addition to our U12, U14 and U16/19 teams.
We are also adding a Mite travel team to those Parkway teams participating in the Valley Hockey League. This team is separate from our Town-Line program and utilizes a combination of cross-ice and full ice games over a 25 week season.
Travel team fees are based on several factors including costs for 30-35 regular season games and playoffs depending on league affiliation (12-15 games for half-season teams; 25 for Mite travel), practice sessions, and operating costs. Fees are also determined by the number of players at each level, league registration, ice costs, and prompt payment of fees by families. While Parkway has been presented with increased operating costs for the upcoming season for ice and league games, we have attempted to subsidize the increases as best we can.
Also, included in this year's travel fees are the costs for new uniforms. Each player will receive a home and away travel jersey which they will use for two seasons and will belong to the player and not PYH. Replacement jerseys will need to be purchased should they be lost or destroyed.
All travel team games are scheduled to start right after Labor Day. Coaches will be reaching out to players regarding practices which will begin during the last two weeks of August.
