TEAM PRACTICES BEGIN
The Zebra Cup is scheduled for October 25th and 26th. What is the Zebra Cup? A zebra cup is a tournament designed to develop our new referees. It is real life training during their clinic prior to the season starting. If teams are assembled to participate, the teams formed have no relevance to do with tryouts or where a player falls in the tryout process.
Team practices are planned to begin the first week of November with games to begin mid-November. This timeframe will provide teams time to practice together several times before their first scheduled game. Season practice times are currently being scheduled. The schedule and times will be communicated and posted on our website as soon as they are confirmed.
ZEBRA CUP
There will be no hockey scheduled between December 24th and January 4th. Pond Hockey will again be available on December 27th, 29th, 31st and January 2nd. Specific times for the pond hockey sessions will be posted as soon as they are scheduled.

To all coaches and those interested in coaching, USA Hockey and the Coaching Education Program require both registration with USA Hockey and certification to be eligible to coach. Registration is done online on a yearly basis. Certification is also required. This is a great time to verify that your CEP Certification is up to date. Your current CEP level can be found at http://www.usahockey.com/ inside the coaches tab. If you are new to the USA hockey CEP program the rules are as follows: All coaches enter USA Hockey’s Coaching Education Program at Level 1, and must continue their education with a coaching clinic each year until they achieve Level 3. EXCEPTION: Coaches of 8U or younger players may remain at Level 1 or their current level. A coach may attend only one (1) certification clinic per year (not including age-specific requirements). Coaches who do not coach in continuous years must re-enter the program at the next level when they resume coaching responsibilities. Once Level 3 is achieved, periodic renewal every 2 years is required for coaches who have not achieved Level 4. Coaches who attain Level 4 certification are not required to attend any further certification clinics but must adhere to the age-specific requirement for the group they are coaching. Available coaching clinic schedules can be found at http://www.usahockey.com/coachingclinics.
SAVE THE DATE:
A local clinic noted is scheduled for September 6th, at the Tundra Lodge from 9am4pm. Registration is currently available for this clinic. The coaching application form for Head coach and Assistant coaches will be published soon followed by interviews mid-September.
EARN MONEY OFF YOUR SKATERS FEES WITH SCRIP Scrip Program is coming to DPYH….. Scrip is an incredible fundraising tool for nonprofit organizations like schools, churches, athletic groups, and more. Members will earn money for their organization just by using gift cards to pay for your everyday purchases. The DPYH Scrip program will be set up so that members can earn credit towards their fees along with raising money for our organization. Members can lower their fees just by paying for their normal household shopping with gift cards. DPYH will be structured to have an 80/20 split, meaning 80% of what you raise will go in an account for you to use towards your fees and 20% will go to the organization. Members will buy gift cards at full face value, and use them in place of cash, checks, or credit cards for their everyday shopping. Our organization will buy them from Great Lakes Scrip Center® at a reduced cost. The difference is immediate fundraising for our non-profit organization. Bridget Vandelist, Michelle Ponozzo, and Audra Neuman are in the process of establishing the program for DPYH and will be the coordinators for our organization. Stay tuned for more details.
