MYHA NEW Girls' Hockey Mentorship Program~ Matching younger players with older players for the 2016-17 season! 

 
The goal is to promote a positive relationship that helps facilitate a deeper love of the game, increased self-esteem, build friendships and strengthen hockey skills.  Younger players will be inspired by the older players, while the older players will be able to give back and help teach and inspire the younger players.  It‘s a win-win for all!
 
We have 122 female hockey players registered this season!  It's time to come together more to embrace the sport, our girls and the community.  Big Skate, little skate activities will occur all season-- with a MYHA 1st annual Girls Hockey Day Celebration in January or February.
 
I will work closely with coaches and managers to match girls.  We will be matching  girls with like-teams as much as possible. 
 
How it works:
Girls will be matched with their Big or little Skate.
Girls can then reach out to each other as often as they choose to....
You'll receive on-going season announcements from me about potential Big & little ideas & events
 
Girls will be encouraged to do the following:
  • Attend practices (on or off ice) to help teach and coach the younger girls (U12-Varsity Girls)
  • Attend practices (off ice) to observe and cheer on the Big Skates (U6-U12)
  • Attend games to cheer on Big or little
  • Make signs & cards
  • Send emails
  • Leave locker room messages or surprises
  • Provide positive encouragement and support for each other
  • any OTHER creative ideas—as long as it is approved by coaches & parents
PARENTS can help facilitate this process by:
  • Encouraging & transporting girls to attend practices & games of their Big or little
  • Encouraging & transporting group/team outings to specific games
  • Helping with sign and card making
  • Providing craft/paper products for the above
  • Discussing the positive benefits with your daughter
  • Other- anything else that you feel will support this program, as long as it’s approved by coaches
 
***OPTIONAL Program***
If you don't think this is a good fit for your daughter and/or you don't want her to participate--  PLEASE let me know ASAP, and I will NOT match her with another player! 
If I don't hear from you by SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19th she will be matched with another MYHA player.
