4/27/2017 Nashville Youth Hockey League Powered by GOALLINE.Ca 4/27/2017 Nashville Youth Hockey League powered by GOALLINE.ca 1. INTRODUCTION The NYHL is a nonprofit, all­volunteer organization which has existed in Nashville since 1965. The NYHL encourages, develops, advances and administers amateur youth hockey in Nashville and its surrounding communities. The NYHL strives to afford people the privilege of participating in youth hockey and related activities in an environment which allows players to learn the fundamental skills of hockey and experience the fun of playing the game without placing undue emphasis on "winning." By so doing, it is the NYHL's intention to promote the development of character, integrity, good sportsmanship and an appreciation for teamwork and its importance. 2. THE GOVERNING BODY The NYHL is a nonprofit, tax exempt corporation organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee. The NYHL adheres to the Official Playing Rules published by USA Hockey, Inc., and generally follows the guidelines and policies of USA Hockey, Inc., except as otherwise set forth herein, or as established by the NYHL Board of Directors. The NYHL is currently affiliated with USA Hockey, Inc., through the Southern Amateur Hockey Association and also with the Southern Youth Travel Hockey League. The activities of the NYHL are managed by a Board of Directors who are elected according to the bylaws by Board members at one of the Board meetings held during the spring. The fiscal year for the NYHL commences May 1 and ends April 30. The Board of Directors generally meets at least once each month. A majority of Directors serves as a quorum and is required for all official Board actions except as otherwise designated. Board meetings are closed to the public and visitors. However, upon request, the President of the NYHL may allow visitors to attend Board meetings and address the Board on certain issues. Officers of the Board consist of a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Other members of the Board are appointed to various positions as determined according to the bylaws and the needs of the organization. Special committees are formed as necessary to work on special projects or to oversee certain activities. Committee members need not be on the Board of Directors, although all committees have at least one member who is a Board member. All Board members and officers of the NYHL are volunteers. They receive no compensation or remuneration for their work on behalf of the League. 3. GENERAL PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND PLAYER CLASSIFICATIONS A. General Program Structure The NYHL program structure is generally consistent with that recommended by USA Hockey. These categories include: 1) Initiation ­ This program is designed to meet the need of the beginning player learning to skate, and basic hockey skills are taught equally in a noncompetitive environment. Fun, physical development and sociable environment are stressed. 2) Recreational ­ The backbone of youth hockey is recreational hockey. This program encourages internal or House League play. This program is designed to provide opportunities to play for enjoyment, fitness, relaxation and fellowship. Skill development and team concepts are emphasized, rather than winning. 3) Competitive ­ Coaches teach higher level skill development for players within the NYHL who have the desire and ability for a competitive hockey experience. The NYHL Travel League is in this category. Balance between winning and sportsmanship is stressed. The amount of traveling for competition should be reasonable. Team objectives can include local, league, district, regional and national championships. B. Player Classifications Most current NYHL Travel, House, House League All­Star, and Select programs are divided into multiple player classifications. These hockey player classifications are also commonly referred to as Divisions. The classification of a player is determined by his/her age attained after January 1st of the upcoming fall playing season. The classifications are: MIDGET 18U ­ 18 years old or younger. MIDGET 16U ­ 16 years old or younger. BANTAM ­ 14 years old or younger. PEEWEE ­ 12 years old or younger. SQUIRT ­ 10 years old or younger. MITE­ 8 years old or younger. TERMITE ­ 7 years old or younger. From time to time the classification of Termites might be eliminated and these players may be registered as Mites. C. House League And Travel League The regular NYHL season extends from mid September to early March. During this time the NYHL conducts a House League program and a Travel League program. The House League program provides recreational players with the opportunity to learn and develop the fundamental skills of hockey. It strives to provide equal playing time for all House League players in accordance with playing rules established by the NYHL. http://nyhl.com/page.php?page_id=5503 1/15 4/27/2017 Nashville Youth Hockey League powered by GOALLINE.ca The NYHL Travel League program provides players with the opportunity to learn, develop and master the fundamental skills of hockey in a more competitive environment than afforded within the House League, including exposure to national and international competition. D. Learn­To­Skate And Skills Sessions In addition to the House League and Travel League programs, the NYHL sponsors, or co­ sponsors with the Metro Department of Parks and Recreation ("Metro"), Learn­to­Skate programs for beginning skaters. The sessions are intended to teach players the skill which is most essential to the game of ice hockey ­ ice skating. After players learn to skate, there are hockey skills sessions available which are conducted by NYHL coaches, Director of Hockey or other volunteers. These skills sessions are usually offered in the spring after the NYHL regular season ends, during the summer and in the fall before the regular season begins. The skills taught include ice skating, puck handling, passing, shooting and other hockey skills. E. Non­affiliated Summer Camps During the summer months youngsters can attend one or more hockey camps that are held at the Centennial Sportsplex and are conducted by professional players and coaches from across the United States and Canada. Usually these camps last one or two weeks and are organized so that players participate at their proper skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced, etc.). These camps are not affiliated with the NYHL, but are held at the Centennial Sportsplex where many NYHL House and Travel players participate to develop and improve their hockey skills. THE HOUSE LEAGUE The goal of the NYHL House League is to provide an opportunity for individual and team skill development, and an equal opportunity for each player to enjoy ice hockey for fun and exercise. The House League program includes Initiation and Recreational levels of play, as defined by USA Hockey. All players will be assigned to a team after the House League evaluation. Depending upon the number of registered players, House teams will average 13 to 15 players and one goalie. The House League will practice and play games at the Nashville Centennial Sportsplex and other possible venues. A. House League Structure The House League program structure will generally adhere to the program structure and player classifications as set forth by USA Hockey, However, in the House League the NYHL currently consists of six "divisions" rather than five as defined by USA Hockey. Players are enrolled in a division based on their age attained at midnight, January 1st, of the current playing season. The current divisions are: BANTAM­ 14 years old or younger. (Checking and slapshots allowed) PEE WEE ­ 12 years old or younger. (No checking in games but slapshots allowed) SQUIRT 10 years old or younger. (No checking nor slapshots) MITE ­ 8 years old or younger. (No checking nor slapshots) TERMITE ­ 7 years old or younger. (No checking nor slapshots) The NYHL reserves the right to establish, or eliminate, different playing divisions and different age criteria for playing in any division in its House League if its Board of Directors determines this to be necessary. House League player rosters may be changed and players transferred from one team to another at any time before or during a season to ensure fair play and competitiveness and to ensure that the purposes of the NYHL are being met. This may include allowing players upon request, or requiring players under certain circumstances, to play up in older age divisions when the Board of Directors determines they are capable of doing so. B. Player Evaluations Before the start of the season, the House League will evaluate all players to determine their skill level. The evaluations will be coordinated by the Director of Hockey and the House League Coordinator to be conducted based upon the evaluation plan as approved by the Board. The results of this evaluation will be used by the coaches to conduct a draft, making reasonable attempts to assemble evenly matched teams. Players will be evaluated within their division based on the following skills: · Skating · Shooting · Passing and receiving · Puck handling · Goal tending C. House League Draft Immediately following the House League evaluations for each division, the coaches in that division will conduct a draft under the guidance of the Division Coordinator or his designee. Coaches will use the player's evaluation scores to rank them among their peers within the http://nyhl.com/page.php?page_id=5503 2/15 4/27/2017 Nashville Youth Hockey League powered by GOALLINE.ca division. The coaches will also try to take into account player size and experience when drafting. The coaches will then place the players on teams. All reasonable attempts will be made to conduct the draft fairly and equitably, to draft teams that will be evenly matched, and to draft so as not to create any team or teams that have an unfair competitive advantage or disadvantage. Attempts will be made to place members of the same family, who are playing or coaching within the same division, on the same team in order to ease the travel burden on families.

He’d also been stuffing four twenty-dollar bills in each boot sole. By mid- July the money had begun to shred and smell like feet. One otherwise unpromising afternoon there’d been a shiny Coupe de Ville out on Ranch Road #5. It was metallic blue. Throwing sun spirals and stars off the bumpers. He and Ben Toy had watched its approach for six or eight miles of scruffy Panhandle desert. They were doing nothing. “Bored sick and dying fast on a fencerail,” Berryman had said earlier. Toy had only half-smiled. “You heard about that greaseball Raymond Cone? I suppose you did,” the conversation was going now.

The park was first created to hold the Centennial Exposition of 1897, a six-month event that brought nearly 2 million visitors to Nashville at a time when the city’s population was barely 100,000. It was the start of not only Nashville’s municipal park system, but public park systems across the state. Since then, Centennial Park has been a place where the people of our city gather and celebrate. The events held here throughout the years – large and small – have reflected the changing culture and values of our city.

ATHENS OF THE SOUTH: COLLEGE LIFE IN NASHVILLE, A NEW SOUTH CITY, 1897-1917 by Mary Ellen Pethel Under the Direction of Dr. Wendy Hamand Venet ABSTRACT The Progressive Era affected the South in different ways from other regions of the United States. Because Southern society was more entrenched in patriarchy and traditional social strictures, Nashville provides an excellent lens in which to assess the vision of a New South city. Known as ―Athens of the South,‖ Nashville legitimized this title with the emergence of several colleges and universities of regional and national prominence in the 1880s and 1890s. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, Nashville‘s universities solidified their status as reputable institutions, with Vanderbilt and Fisk Universities garnering national prominence. Within Nashville, local colleges, including Ward Belmont College, David Lipscomb University, Peabody College, Roger Williams University, and Meharry Medical College shaped and were shaped by the growing city.
