With the exciting acquisition of the Hampton Roads Iceplex, now Chilled Ponds at Yorktown, the PYHA will be merging with the Hampton Roads Whalers to offer more ice time and programming opportunities for growth and development of hockey on the Peninsula. Cavanagh, Brad Jones and Colten Teubert, on down as we push to grow our program.
We look forward to the future together with you as we grow hockey participation at Chilled Ponds Chesapeake and Chilled Ponds at Yorktown.
We will offer our players the opportunity to play travel level hockey with the Whalers. We will also offer opportunities for our players' growth and development during the spring and summer months with the Spring Development training April 4-June 7 as well as summer skills July 5-August 23 at Chilled Ponds at Yorktown.
Our players who enroll early for next season will receive a 2-day hockey camp as part of their enrollment and bonus Happy Hour sessions starting in July. Our Mite rec players will also have the opportunity to participate on a Mite travel birth year team that will compete in 4 CBHL Mite jamborees to prepare them to enter full season travel hockey when they become squirts.
We look forward to working with new leadership to build on the success that the PYHA has had over the past 25 years and build it to an even higher level with travel hockey and other opportunities. Youth sports are so important for children to learn lifelong lessons, and there is no greater sport to teach them than hockey.
