Dear CYHA Families,

Last season ended abruptly as the pandemic upended work, school, and play. We continue to receive guidance from the State and Mass Hockey for a safe opening for the 20-21 Season. If your plans for participation in CYHA have changed, please let us know.

      Key Points for CYHA Hockey This Fall include:

• The Charlestown Rink is a State facility and we expect that it will open later in September.
• There will be new State and Mass Hockey protocols for the rink.
• At present, the guidelines allow youth players to take the ice for skills and practices.
• At present, hockey games are not allowed by the Commonwealth and it is not clear when sports like hockey will be allowed to play games.
• In the absence of games, we are planning to have plenty of ice time for practice/skills until games commence.
  
  Teams
• Girls, Mites, Bantams, and Midgets will be posted once we hear back from players that may not be playing this season.
• Tryouts for Squirts and Peewees were cut short due to the pandemic.

• We will finalize Squirt and Peewee teams in September
  
  Dues
• Initially, dues for the program will be reduced to only ice time and other operations.
• When league games are scheduled and the cost of those games is known, additional dues will be billed.

Stay safe and healthy,

The CYHA Board
