It is a means to an end. There is nothing inherently good about scoring, fore checking, back checking, or winning. It is only good if it promotes education and learning. Those that come away with a higher work ethic, honesty, and integrity are the true winners. Hockey does not build character, rather it reveals it. It’s these values that do more than anything else we develop that will be the true measure of how successful the NMYHA is. NOTE: Throughout this document, NMYHA refers to Brooklyn Park Youth Hockey Association d/b/a North Metro Youth Hockey Association 4 Section One HOCKEY OPERATIONS MISSION STATEMENT It shall be the mission of the NMYHA HOCKEY OPERATIONS COMMITTEE to administer, direct, and promote the competitive hockey activities as directed by the NMYHA Executive Committee. The scope of this committee is not limited to administration only, but shall include the ability to design and carry out those programs necessary to ensure the continual development of skills and promotion of sportsmanship for the betterment of the sport of hockey as represented by the NMYHA and the larger community that makes up the membership of the North Metro Youth Hockey Association. Section Two PURPOSE & OBJECTIVE OF COMPETITIVE HOCKEY Inherently, the sport of hockey in itself is highly competitive in nature. The intent of the NMYHA competitive hockey program is to provide a challenging environment, which fosters the development of individual and team skills. The objective of the program is to provide an opportunity for skaters to participate at a level of competition that matches their ability level and gives them the opportunity to be successful. As administered by USA and Minnesota Hockey (the governing national and state bodies0 share four (4) age classifications at which a skater may participate. They are: Squirt, Peewee, Bantam, and Jr. Gold for boys and U-10, U-12, U-14, and U-16 for girls. Within each classification there are four competitive levels at which a skater may participate. Those being “AA”, “A”, “B”, and “C”, with “AA” representing the highest level of intense skilled competition. It is the objective of NMYHA to offer the opportunity for the youth of the Association’s youth hockey community, to participate in the game of ice hockey, regardless of ability level.

It is the policy of USA Hockey that all affiliates, districts, leagues and local hockey programs have at least one responsible adult directly monitoring the locker room during all team events to ensure that only participants (coaches and players), approved team personnel and family members are permitted in the locker room and to supervise the conduct in the locker room. Any individual meetings between a minor participant and a coach in a locker room shall require a responsible adult be with the coach.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 2, 2021 Devils shut down by Covid-19 outbreak after back-to-back games in Buffalo By Mike Harrington The Buffalo News February 1, 2021 Aday after completing a two-game series against the Buffalo Sabres in KeyBank Center, the New Jersey Devils have had their training facility in Newark shut down by the NHL because of a Covid-19 outbreak. The league announced Monday afternoon that 10 Devils players are now on the team's Covid protocol list, and five of them appeared in games against the Sabres. As a result, the Devils' games have been postponed through at least Saturday. The Devils, led by former Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff, headed to Pittsburgh after Sunday's 5-3 win here, but were then sent home by league officials. Their games with the Penguins on Tuesday and Thursday have been postponed, as has Saturday's home game against the New York Rangers. The earliest they will play is Feb. 9 against Pittsburgh. Their next meetings with the Sabres are Feb. 20 and 22 in Prudential Center. The NHL said it is reviewing and revising the team's schedule. The league's protocol list does not differentiate between positive tests, players listed as close contacts or players serving required quarantines. Goaltender Aaron Dell has been on the list while quarantining after being claimed on waivers from Toronto. Goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood went on the list Jan. 22 and remains out. Veteran center Travis Zajac was added to the list Saturday and did not appear against the Sabres, and veteran winger Kyle Palmieri played here Saturday and then was sidelined for Sunday's game due to Covid protocols.

  • On Thin Ice: Does Uniform Color Really Affect Aggression In
    Social Psychological and Personality Science 000(00) 1-5 On Thin Ice: Does Uniform Color ª The Author(s) 2010 Reprints and permission: Really Affect Aggression in sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1948550610389824 Professional Hockey? http://spps.sagepub.com David F. Caldwell1 and Jerry M. Burger1 Abstract Past research suggests that wearing either a black or a red uniform leads to increased aggression or an increase in perceived aggression during professional sports. However, this research suffers from a number of limitations, including an inability to manipulate the independent variable. A recent change in the National Hockey League’s uniform policy created the possibility of a naturally occurring experiment that allowed the authors to examine whether aggression levels were higher when teams wore black or red jerseys. The authors compared games against the same opponent in which home teams wore red or black jerseys for one game and their usual color for another game on several measures of aggression. They found no evidence that either black or red uniforms were related to higher levels of aggression in professional hockey games. Keywords aggression, violence, evolutionary psychology, motivation and performance, research methods Of the many variables researchers have identified as contributing and hockey players. Over a 16-year period, they found to aggression, perhaps the most intriguing is the color worn by the consistent evidence that teams wearing black uniforms were aggressor. To test the effect of color in a real-world setting, penalized more often than teams wearing nonblack uniforms. researchers have examined the number of aggressive acts The researchers also point to two hockey teams that switched performed by athletes during sporting events.
