How do I know what division my child will play in for the 2023-2024 season?

Teams are divided by birth years and multiple teams will be fielded at each level based upon the number of players and the skill levels of all skaters during a club evaluation.

• 2015 and later (8U - Mites)
• 2014 & 2013 (10U - Squirt)
• 2012 & 2011 (12U - PeeWee)
• 2010 & 2009 (14U - Bantam)
• 2005 - 2008 (18U - Midgets)

1. Players will be required to provide a valid 2023-2024 USA Hockey number. Please visit www.usahockeyregistration.com to register your player.

2. Evaluations will be mandatory for the 2023-2024 season for Mites, Squirts, Pee Wees, Bantams, and Midgets players and will require a non-refundable $75 fee for the sessions. This fee is applicable towards overall registration/tuition costs. If your child is a returning PYH player from the previous season, then they will have an initial reserved roster spot for the following season, provided that the evaluation and registration fees are paid by the deadline date. The evaluation fee will be applied to the program balance once the player has registered.

      I. New players for Mites, Squirts, Pee Wees, Bantams and Midgets will need to attend the evaluations and be evaluated by our coaches before being placed on teams’ roster. The evaluation fee is $75. Payment is due prior to the evaluation.

     II. Our evaluations are not tryouts, it is an identification evaluation to be accepted into PYH. Team tryouts, if necessary, will be held at a later date so the players can attend the off-season camps, league’s and teams that they choose for their betterment.

3. Online registration must be completed 14 days after evaluations (April 10, 2023) for returning players to reserve their initial roster spot. There is a mandatory $250 non-refundable registration fee which is applied to your registration/tuition costs at the time of registration. Late fees will apply for late registration.

      I. At this point we will extend any available roster spots to the waitlisted players.

     II. After the initial $250.00 is paid by April 10th, the balance of the registration fee will be split evenly from June to October, on the 15th of each month. If the registration balance is not paid in full by October 15th, the player is not cleared to play until full balance is remitted. *

*Midgets see point 5 below as the schedule of payment is different.

4. Team rosters will be configured in accordance with USA Hockey regulations.

5. Our Midget team is a short-season (14-week) team. This is an opportunity for our older players to continue to play competitive hockey from late August through November, before their High School seasons get underway. The Midget program anticipates playing approximately 11 games (a combination of home and away). Most practices and home games will be held at South Kent as Trinity Pawling ice does not open until mid-October at the earliest. If roster numbers and payment in full are not met by June 30, we will not have a Midget team.
