GENERAL INFORMATION | ||||
Seasons | The Pineville Youth Hockey League runs year round and has three seasons: Fall, Spring and Summer. Each season is independent of the previous season. Teams and player enrollments do not carry over from one season to the next. | |||
League Prerequisites | Players should first complete Pineville's Learn To Skate and Learn To Play classes or comparable classes elsewhere. Players that have not taken these classes but demonstrate proficient skating and hockey skills may participate in the League. Players must be enrolled in the league and fully paid. Walk-ons are not permitted. Players must wear full protective gear. For more information concerning what gear is required please consult our Hockey Gear Guide. Players must have a current USA Hockey registration (see below). | |||
Practices & Player Development |
| |||
Game Format | All division games consist of three, 16 minute run time periods followed by a shootout if necessary. | |||
Hockey Contact | While games are non-checking, hockey is a physical sport with incidental and intentional contact. Players are taught at all levels to use their bodies to gain and maintain control of the puck and to gain position over other players. Many PYHL players advance to more competitive leagues where checking is permitted, so our players must be prepared for the physical elements of the game. For players age ten and up, we strongly recommend that you visit our Concussion Management Page. | |||
USA Hockey Registration | A USA Hockey registration must be current and on file at the time of registration. All USA Hockey registrations expire on August 31st of each year. Players can register and pay at the following link: Register For USA Hockey. All fees go directly to USA Hockey and provide players with supplemental insurance in the event that they are injured while playing in a USA Hockey sanctioned event. Registration also provides USA Hockey membership benefits which can be reviewed at their website. | |||
Player & Parent Conduct | The Pineville Youth Hockey League will not tolerate from its players, coaches, parents or guardians: fighting; deliberate actions on or off the ice that can lead to injury; destruction or damage of any property or facility; conduct that disrupts team practices, games, events; or conduct that reflects negatively upon the image of Pineville Youth Hockey. A player suspension or total expulsion from the Pineville Youth Hockey program may be used if deemed necessary and is at the sole discretion of the Pineville Ice House. | |||
Coaches | Pineville Youth Hockey selects coaches based on their qualifications, coaching and playing experience, character, and commitment to youth hockey. Please visit our Hockey Coaches Page to read about our staff. To join our coaching staff, visit our Employment page. | |||
