HEADLINES  | | | RYHA Has 3 Goalies Make National Camp! by
posted 05/18/2013
Every year USA Hockey has the top youth hockey prospects participate in a development camp in Upstate NY or Minnesota. These camps are called National Camps or the Player Development Camps and last one week for each age group. This is an opportunity for USA Hockey to work with the top players in the country, educate them on nutrition, skill development, game play, etc. while keeping an eye on their growth for their junior and national teams down the road. USA Hockey brings in some of the top coaches in the country from junior, college, prep school and professional ranks to coach the kids. It is a great opportunity for the players to compete against the top players in the country, learn from top coaches and USA Hockey’s development program, and make some lasting friendships. It is also a great opportunity for exposure as it is a great venue for junior and college hockey teams to scout the top players in the country.
USA Hockey has 12 different districts across the country for youth hockey. Here in the Carolinas we are in the Southeastern District, along with Virginia, Maryland, DC, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. [Link to districts: http://www.usahockey.com/Template_Usahockey.aspx?NAV=NO&id=180122 ] Each district has a tryout in the spring and selects a group of players to represent their district at the National Camp. The boys have Select 15’s, Select 16’s and Select 17’s, while the girls start with the U14’s. [Link to development camp dates and locations: http://www.usahockey.com/players/player_development_camps.aspx ]
This spring, RYHA and the Junior Hurricanes Goalie Program continued its strong showing by having 3 Jr. Hurricane or former Hurricane goalies selected to participate in their respective National Camp:
Logan Halladay U17 - boys
Josh Greune U15 - boys
Cameron Leonard U14 – girls
Halladay has been to the camp before, joining former Jr Hurricane goaltender Sean Romeo as a multiple year participant. Romeo is now playing Tier 1 junior hockey in the USHL and has committed to play at the University of Maine following his junior career.
It takes a lot of hard work over several years to develop into a top goalie. Congratulations to all three and everyone here would like to wish them luck at their respective development camp this summer.

Back to top | | | AA/A, U8 Development Tryout Announcement by
posted 05/12/2013 Dear Parents:
Please be reminded that we will be holding an AA/A informational meeting on Sunday May 19th, 6:30pm, at the PNC Arena.
Also, AA/A tryouts will take place May 30th - June 4th. Registration is now open through the website by highlighting the "Registration" button, clicking on "RYHA Online Registration" and selecting "Travel".
We are conducting both AA/A tryouts at the same time, so when the weekend is completed, we will have filled all of our AA and A teams.
When you sign in to register, you will be asked to select a box if you only want to be considered for an A position. If you select that box, you will not be considered for a AA position. If you do not select that box, you will be considered for a position at either level. If at some point during the evaluation, the evaluators feel you are not ready for a AA position, you will automatically be considered for an A position. There will also be seperate final sessions for both AA and A at each age group. If your player is selected for the final AA session, but does not make that team, they will automatically be included for the A final session. All AA final session sessions will on Sunday June 2nd, while several of the A final sessions will be on Monday June 3rd and Tuesday June 4th.
The official U8 Development evaluation will be the weekend of June 13-15. Specific times for that weekend will be announced shortly as well. However, a supplemental session will be scheduled for Sun June 2nd, 215-315pm Factory Icehouse, for those players that will not be able to make it to the official evaluation on June 13-15.
The complete scheduel for AA/A tryouts will be posted shortly. If you have any other quetsions, please free to contact Steve Henley at
.
Thank You. Back to top | | | High Performance Team - February by
posted 05/10/2013 We loved your letter - and learning more about your players, coaches and especially the sportsmanship they display every game.
For Passion, Purpose and Play our eleven Ice Caps players and two phenomenal coaches have it! Win or lose our players have the determination to learn and improve through their sheer love of the sport. Our team of eleven unique boys each bring a different element to the team. Whether it be exceptional skills, speed, or a positive attitude our team blends it all together and makes it work.
The Ice Caps were one of the teams that skated with the Capital City Crew this past fall. Our boys were humbled by the experience and the meaning behind it all. Coach B and Coach Aaron are amazing with our boys and they offer each player the perfect balance and combination of training, patience, discipline and good sportsmanship.
After each practice or game and as all the hockey gear comes off, what's left is eleven boys that are laughing and cutting up in a locker room. They are eleven boys who are a little better on the ice today, then they were the day before. Off the ice they are closer to becoming our young men of tomorrow. Isn't that what hockey is all about, not only a lesson in hockey, but in life as well?
Congratulations on your Squirt Ice Caps being chosen as the "High Performance Team" for February!
Back to top | | | High Performance Team - January by
posted 05/10/2013 The Upper Squirt Team 2 has been chosen for the High Performance Team in January. The team demonstrated Passion, Purpose and Play in all games. They struggled to get a W in the win column for many weeks, but still kept playing every game with a positive attitude. The losing streak ended on the weekend of January 12 & 13 when we not only won BOTH games, but both the games were shut outs! Our team then traveled to Charlotte this past weekend where we won our first game and tied the second!
We have great players on our team who are full of heart and these past few wins have given our boys a little confidence boost. Congratulations to Upper Squirt Team 2.
Back to top | | | Jr Hurricane Coaching Changes by
posted 05/07/2013 As you may know, there have been some recent changes within the status of several of the 2013-14 Jr Hurricane teams. Mike Housman has accepted a job position in the DC area which will require him to relocate. We wish Mike success in his new position. The Bantam A team was without a coach, and the U18 AAA team will not be fielded this season. As a result, we have made some coaching changes as follows:
Clay Cotie - U16 AA
Steven Halko - Bantam AA
Kohl Schultz - Bantam A
Steve Henley - Bantam A
The Jr Hurricanes would like to thank these coaches for their patience and flexibility during this time of change.
As well, the Jr Hurricanes now have avilable ice to add another team during the AA/A tryouts. The RYHA BOD has determined that the bantam age group provides the best opportunity to expand. As a result we will be offering a second Bantam A team.
We believe these changes provide a strong coaching foundation at every level of our program. We look foward to seeing you at the AA/A tryouts.
Thank You. Back to top | | | 2013-2014 Financial Aid is Now Available by
