Dear Geneva Youth Hockey Parents,

We are ready for the start of the 2009-2010 Geneva Youth Hockey Season. We are please to report that based on ice cost, the projected number of players, operational expenses and revenues, the registration fees per player have not increased from last year. 

Registration info and all necessary forms are posted on our website (www.genevayouthhockey.net) under the side bar heading “FORMS” (click here). These must be down-loaded, filled out completely and returned with your registration by Sept. 19^th. The five forms are:

1.    USA HOCKEY reg. bar code (unless submitted w/ pre-reg)

2.    USA Hockey Code of Conduct

3.    USA Hockey Consent to Treat

4.    GGHO Code of Conduct

5.    GGHO Registration

Mail all forms and payment to our PO Box shown above or deliver them in person at the rink on Sept. 19^th during our equipment, etc. sale from 10:00am-1:00pm. If you cannot access the forms via the website printed forms will be available at the rink Sept.19^th Half of the registration fee is due SEPTEMBER 19th and the remaining amount MUST be paid by DECEMBER 4^th. Families with 2 or more players in the organization are eligible for a discount of 10% of their total registration fee.

Those players with an outstanding balance on December 4th WILL NOT be allowed on the ice until the balance is received.

Each player is required to sell 5 fundraising lotto tickets for the October drawing and 5 fundraising lotto tickets for the December drawing.  Please find enclosed the tickets allotted for your player(s) as well as the informational letter.

Each travel team practice time slot this year will be shared between two teams. Ice cost is a very large part of our budget and to give teams full ice for practices is simply not feasible at this time.  USA HOCKEY, top caliber high school and college teams are all embracing small area drills that utilize less ice to prepare the players for real game situations. Some of the upper level teams will be allocated a few full sheet practice slots. Full ice slots in addition to regularly scheduled practice slots may be arranged through Kevin Schultz our GGHO scheduler but the cost of the full ice MUST be paid for by the team members themselves.

GGHO will provide jerseys for all teams but each player will need to buy black hockey socks. These may be purchased locally through First Base Line or at many Hockey pro shops. GGHO has a limited supply on hand that may be purchased at our used equipment sale at the rink on Sept. 19^th.

If you have any questions please get in touch with any Board member listed on our website. We thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

GGHO Board of Directors
