USA Hockey One Goal Program  

USA Hockey and One Goal have partnered to help overcome the initial cost barrier of entering into hockey by making available, at a very low cost, special First-Timer Equipment Kits for all interested USA Hockey associations and Star ice rinks. By taking advantage of this special offer you can take a vital, active role in making it easier for parents to give hockey a chance in their family.

Each Set costs just $60.00. Sets will include helmet w/cage, shoulder pads, elbow pads, pants, gloves, shin pads and bag. Sets are available in two sizes - Small, for 4-6 year olds and Large, for 6-8 year olds. The equipment sets are co-branded USA Hockey/ OneGoal and marked Rental (In Large Block Lettering) to encourage the recycle use for starter programs and not long term use or resale.

NYSAHA has initially ordered 500 sets and is making them available to our Associations for a cost of $50.00 each with no minimum. Please coordinate within your Association if and how many sets and what sizes you would like.

Friday, February 15th is "Wear Your Jersey to School Day".

GLGHL Contest:

GLGHL has two tickets for the Feb. 20th Buffalo Sabres vs. Tampa Bay Lightning to give away.

Each player that wears their jersey to school on Friday and donates (at least) $1 toward cancer research will be entered into a drawing for the Sabres tickets. The coach or manager of each GLGHL team must send an email to me by Saturday, Feb 16th with the amount that their team donated and number of players that wore their hockey jersey to school on Friday. A drawing will be held on Sunday, Feb 17th and the winning team will be notified.

If your team or association is holding an event for Hockey Weekend Across America, please let us know and we'll put the information on our website.

Also, a Sabres autographed hockey stick will be raffled off during the GLGHL playoffs. Each playoff location will have raffle tickets available at the arena. Proceeds will be donated toward cancer research.  www.hockeyweekendacrossamerica.com

This Applies To All:

Recently a tournament was held in the West Section that was not sanctioned and at least one team in the tournament was not a rostered USA Hockey Team. Unfortunately 2 Match penalties were assessed and we have no jurisdiction over this.

I am strongly recommending that Associations approve when a team enters a tournament or at least is made aware of that team entering. This is where my previous E-mails about Associations being responsible for the actions of there teams comes into place. There are several ramifications of a team playing in one of these tournaments. The games do not count towards any NYS or USA Hockey tournaments and of course the possible legal problems if a player or coach is injured especially if the team has not informed the players and parents that the tournament is not sanctioned by USA Hockey. This also applies to Canadian non sanctioned tournaments. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Please protect yourselves, your families, and homes by making sure that your teams are not participating in non sanctioned USA Hockey Tournaments or games.
