OPTIONAL FUNDRAISERS (TRAVELING ONLY)

•  Wreaths (Oct)
• Heggie’s Pizza (Dec)

Families will be required to volunteer 10 hours during the hockey season for EACH registered skater. A cap of four of the hours required must be served in the concession stand and the other 6 on committees or other approved activities. The volunteer hours are capped at 20 hours per family.  All CPYHA Volunteer Shifts are available through DIBS, an online sign up/scheduling feature available on our website.

Your team manager will collect a separate 'player deposit' check in the amount of $500.00 per skater. These checks will be held by the CPYHA Treasurer and destroyed at the end of the season if ALL volunteer hours are fulfilled, equipment returned and traveling monthly ice bill payments are paid in full. If all requirements are not completed in full, your check will be cashed. 

For kids ages 4-9 who are new to ice hockey:

• Helmet with Face Mask – The head is the most important part of the body and the helmet is designed to reduce chance of skull fractures. No helmet prevents concussions, but can reduce the risk depending on padding and design. Construction and design must be approved by HECC which assures they have been tested and meet certain standards. The face mask minimizes facial injury from sticks or flying pucks

• Shoulder Pads – Designed to protect the chest, shoulders and top of arms; trying on will determine best comfort and size for mobility and protection.

• Elbow Pads – Designed not to move when worn and to protect the elbow from hard falls or impact with boards or other players, and protect the forearms from sticks and pucks.

• Gloves- Protects hands fingers and wrists; must have good finger and hand mobility when worn.

• Shin Guards – Should cover the knee and shin completely to protect from collision, sticks, and pucks.

• Supporter/Cup – Essential protective gear; most common includes a one piece short with built-in cup and Velcro tabs at thighs to hold up ice hockey socks.

• Pants/Breezers – Protection for lower spine/tailbone, hips and thighs; length should come to the top of shin pads.

• Skates – A necessity for optimum play and performance; the skate should fit well today as opposed to one with too much room for growth as it will hamper skating abilities and comfort. Periodic quality sharpenings are essential for the skater’s success.

• Stick – A straight wood stick is a good start, yet many composite sticks are available too; length should generally extend from the ice/floor to the player’s chin with skates on – an inch or two more of length is okay to allow for growth. Equipment experts can provide recommendations for each player and will cut the stick to the proper size.

• Hockey Socks – Part of the team uniform; held in place with garter or Velcro tabs on jock short; pulled over and covers the shin guards. Other socks are needed to wear with skates.

• Hockey Jersey – Part of the uniform and may be provided by the team or purchased separately; should be tried on with shoulder pads to determine appropriate fit. Generally, sleeves will come just below wrists to top of hand and length will cover to thighs.

• Mouth Guard – Essential for teeth protection and can help in reducing the risk of concussions.

• Moisture Wicking Undergarments – Provides warmth and protection from the gear itself while wicking away perspiration during play.

• Neck Guard – May be included in a special designed hockey undershirt that covers neck; designed to prevent cut to the neck from skate blade which is an uncommon occurrence; still needed for peace of mind and protection.
