2013 - Western Pa Hockey Plan for High School and Amateur Hockey
http://usahockey.cachefly.net/mailers/YouthHockeyStructure.pdf
This was sent to every President of Amateur Hockey Programs and High School Hockey Programs in Western Pennsylvania
Important Information re Youth Hockey Structure
To: Western PA Youth Hockey Leaders:
This information is being sent to club/team Presidents. Please forward on to other interested officers/individuals.
Confusion has surrounded our sport since June of this year as a result of the USA Hockey rule change regarding the age ranges allowed to play ‘high school hockey.’ We are working to continue expanding opportunities for children to play hockey and feel that it is important for us to provide our thoughts on restructuring the youth hockey system in our region – based off of the latest rules. We have met with key stakeholders from the PAHL and PIHL, their member clubs and facilities which led us to create the structure presented in the following document. Our plan seems to provide a clear career path with opportunities for players regardless of ability, interest level and financial commitment to play the game.
We believe that by making the changes mentioned in our presentation the player development model will be enhanced, the career path for players will be clearly defined and ice at the facilities will be utilized more efficiently.
We realize that these are significant modifications that will require a collaborative effort between all of the key stakeholders, and that there will be challenges along the way. The Penguins welcome these challenges, as well as additional ideas, and hope that you will too. After all, we share the common goals of increasing participation and improving the overall structure of the sport. In the end, it is about providing the best development opportunities for our athletes.
