The board engaged in much conversation and did not increase fees lightly.  Fees were increased based on age group and services/ice time.  This is the first price increase in over 15 years for BYHA.  The price increase will help to offset ice price increases, Sanford Power, Coach Salary and other increased costs faced by the association.  You will note that increases were tiered.  New went from free to $50,  Mite/8U program increased by $50, Squirts/10U, Peewee/12U by $100 and Bantam/15U by $125.

BYHA is happy to announce that we will be welcoming back Jon Francisco to lead a Contact + Concussion Prevention Clinic on Saturday, October 7th.  Jon has led Contact + Concussion Prevention Clinics for BYHA in the past and they have always been well received by the players, parents, and coaches who have attended.  This camp is directed towards BYHA’s 12u/Peewee and 15u/Bantam participants.  Goalies are welcome to attend, however, there will be no direct instruction.  There will be plenty of shots and opportunities for goalies to try their hand at body contact drills, if they so choose.  Two sessions will be offered and will include video analysis and on-ice repetitions of how to give and receive contact safely.  Each session has a 32-skater maximum.  Below are the times for the two sessions offered on Saturday, October 7th.
