Registration for Travel Teams will open on 2/24. Please review travel team information on main NYH website page for information about NYH travel hockey program. If you have additional questions please submit them to
A few key highlights for registration:
- Click on the online registration tab to start registration. Please follow all the steps requested. A player may only be registered via the online process and payment must be processed for them to be considered registered.
- We are limited to 80 Midgets ( 4 teams x 20 per roster ). Midget registration will be on a first come first serve basis. If we exceed 80,a waitlist will be started. There are no limits on # of Bantam, PW, Squirt, or Mite.
- Register your player based on the appropriate level for their birth year. Birth year information is included in the registration process. Registration close dates vary slightly by age group based on timing of their tryouts. We have attempted to extend them as late as possible in the spring to provide families time to understand their options for 2010/2011 season, but still allow NYH to complete spring tryouts and provide the Greater Boston Hockey League the necessary information and payments on our commitment for travel teams in the fall. Registration close dates are as follows: Midget and Bantam - 3/24, PeeWee - 3/30, Mite and Squirt - 4/7
- Again this year, parents will need to register their child both for NYH and USA Hockey. USA Hockey registration will not be available until April or May. A reminder will be sent once USA Hockey registration is open and instructions will be provided on how to update your account information on the NYH website with this information. NOTE: USA HOCKEY ISSUES A NEW REGISTRATION NUMBER EACH YEAR. YOU DO NOT NEED TO ENTER YOU 2009/2010 REGISTRATION NUMBER DURING THE NYH REGISTRATION PROCESS. WHEN YOU REGISTER WITH USA HOCKEY FOR THE 2010/2011 SEASON YOU WILL RECEIVE A NEW 2010/2011 NUMBER WHICH MUST BE ADDED TO THE PLAYER INFORMATION ( INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE PROVIDED ONCE USA HOCKEY REGISTRATION OPENS)
- PW, Bantam, and Midget will tryout in the spring. Visit the NYH tryout tab to view the schedule. Mite and Squirt tryouts will be in September.

posted 03/08/2010 Congrats and good luck to the Mite C, Squirt B3, and PeeWee A teams who earned berths in the GBL playoffs.
Squirt B3's rolled through the squirt west division going 19-2-1 for the season including a 9-0-1 record after re-alignment to earn the top seed in the west division.
Mite C finished the year 13-10-2 and will play a strong Hyde Park team that finished 21-4 in the semi-finals. The Mite C's split the season series with Hyde Park both games decided by 1 goal.
PeeWee A's have been on a roll since the February Tournament Championship going 3-0-2 in their last 5 games including a tie against top seeded Dorchester and a win against 2nd seeded Framingham. PeeWee A's finished 13-9-4 and look to add the GBL championship trophy next to their NYH Championship.
Good Luck to the Bantam B2s, PeeWee B2s and a belated good luck to the PeeWee B1's all three teams earned State Tournament berths. The PW B1's battled it out in Marlboro over the weekend. The Bantam B2s take their game on the road to Springfield while the PeeWee B2's are host of the Tier 4 State Tournament this weekend at St Sebs.
Good Luck to everyone - let's bring home a couple of state championships and a few GBL titles.

3) In our efforts to improve the NYH experience, we have started an online survey to gather feedback on the program. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. It will remain open while we are doing online registration. Go to main NYH web page and there is a tab on the left hand column that you may click to take the survey.
4) Volunteers: We heard several good ideas raised at the open meeting in February and we expect many good ideas to come from the survey, but in order to continue to improve our program we need more volunteers to help with the NYH tournament, in-house program, Greater Boston Hockey League, fund raising, tryouts,and implementing new ideas that are generated by families to improve the program. Please consider getting more involved and volunteering to help improve NYH

posted 02/27/2010 The B division of the Needham Tournament wrapped up Sunday with the Needham Mite B's winning in a shoot-out against archrival Wellesley to claim the Mite Division. The Mite B's dominated the preliminary round outscoring Wellesley, Newton, and Coastal Stars by a combined score of 13 to 3, but had to fight off a determined Wellesley team set on avenging their 4 to 1 first round loss. Three periods and overtime could not determine a winner, but the Mite B's determined to win their home town tournament won in the shoot-out.
In the final, the Mite B’s were led by Theo Knopf, who had 2 goals in regulation, and another in the Shootout bringing his total to 4 for the tournament. Additional goals scorers over the course of the tournament were: Cole Stedman with 8 goals in 4 games, Calvin Place 2 goals including the game winner in the 1-0, must-win 3rd game vs. Coastal Stars, Harry Karovolas 2 goals, Standish Carothers, Ben St. Peters, and Tim Hasenfus. Tremendous performances were also turned in by forwards William Cornelisse, Mark Roberts, and Mike Parrish who won a majority of the one on one battles in the corners and setup many of the goals scored. Special recognition goes to Brad Sprogis of the Mite C team who joined us for our 1st game on Thursday vs. Wellesley where he picked up an outstanding goal.
The rock solid defense was anchored by Ben St. Peters, Caroline Kinghorn, Standish Carothers, Ned Keenan, and Lawson Morris. They shut down the opposition with tenacious D.
The Mite B’s were backstopped by Ryan Turner (3 games) and Calvin Place (1 game) in goal both of whom made several amazing saves during their games. Ryan Turner stopped 2 of 3 Wellesley shots in the shootout, leading us to victory.
Congrats to players: Standish Carothers, William Cornelisse, Tim Hasenfus, Harry Karavolas, Ned Keenan, Caroline Kinghorn, Theo Knopf, Lawson Morris, Michael Parrish, Calvin Place, Mark Roberts, Ben St Peters, Cole Stedman, Ryan Turner, coaches ( Matt Keenan, Tim Turner, Chris Karavolas, and Ron Kinghorn ), and Brad Sprogis.
Needham PW B1 and Bantam B1's both reached the finals of the tournament, but were not able to avenge first round losses and both fell in their championship game.
PW B1's had to win a thrilling game on saturday night against the NY Ice Cats to advance to the finals. Trailing 2 to 1 in the third period, the team ripped off three straight goals to earn a spot in the championship game, but they were not able to defeat GBL rival Framingham losing 4 to 2 in the championship game.
Bantam B1's ran into a buzz saw in the Saratoga NY bantam team who went 4 - 0 in the tournament outsourcing opponents 20 to 2. B1's battled hard and played physical trading hit for hit with Saratoga, but were not able to over come a strong Saratoga team that was at the top of its game
Braintree Squirt B team rolled to victory in the squirt division by defeating the Coastal Stars 7 to 2 in the championship game. Braintree went 4 - 0 during the tournament and outsourced their opponents 21 to 7 to claim the championship.

posted 02/17/2010 The Pee Wee B1s recently competed in a tournament in Lake Placid, NY. After a challenging start where they had to battle difficult competition, a shortage of players, and playing on the larger olympic sized ice surfaces, the team adjusted and won the consolition round.
The tournament also included a two person fastest skaters; goalie; and player shoot out. The Needham representatives won the fastest skaters; and were finalists for goaltending and the shoot out. Congratulations to Ben Fachetti; Christopher Ektov; Dylan Murphy; and Jon Sweeney for representing Needham in the skills competition and the team for proudly representing Needham Hockey in the tournament.
The games were played at the actual olympic rinks that hosted the 1936 and 1980 Olympics. The teams used the locker rooms and facilities that were the actual facilities used by the olympic teams playing there in the famed "Miracle on Ice" 1980 Olympic games. It was a fun exciting hockey experience and a great venue for a tournament.

posted 02/05/2010 After losing a close game 1 to 0 on Friday night, the Needham Squirt B1’s stormed back to win 4 straight games over the weekend to win the Western Freeze Out at UMASS. Julian Ziskin scored 36 seconds into overtime to beat Groton Sq B 2 to 1 in the Championship Game. Ziskin and linemates Ryan Belval and Patrick Canavan combined to lead the tournament in scoring producing 12 of Needham’s 24 goals. Ryan Belval also found time to win the shootout challenge during the skills competition in between tournament games.
Great passing and balanced scoring helped Needham advance to the Championship Game. The line of Daniel McElroy, Sam Keenan, and Hudson Roddy scored several critical goals during the tournament including Sam’s winning goal in the semi-finals against Woonsocket, RI. Balancing out the scoring was the line Dylan Tamkin, Kenneth Ruetenik, and Ryan Cohen who combined to score 7 goals over the weekend including the critical tying goal in the championship game to force overtime.
The team only allowed 5 goals in the entire tournament. Anchored in net by Championship Game MVP Ben Higgins, the defense of Philip Pascucci, Timmy Noone, PK Noonan, David Rogers, Stewart Hickey, and Kelvin Donoghue took over the tournament allowing only 1 goal in the final 3 games including the championship game overtime.
The entire team demonstrated great effort, sportsmanship, and hockey skill, and represented NYH against teams from NY, CT, RI, and Ma.
