Annual Game Shirt Sizing Day
Sunday, May 20th, Noon until 3pm
We will be having our Annual Game Shirt Sizing Day from Noon to 3pm at the Sebs Rink Parking lot. This is your one chance to double check what size NYH Game shirts to order for next season before the order is placed. We will have all sizes on-hand. Please bring your shoulder pads to ensure proper sizing.
If you chose at registration to reuse last year's game shirt but are not really sure it will fit (or you did not know it was ripped). Now is the time to verify. It is not too late to change your mind. After this event, it will be too late.

posted 04/03/2012 Needham u10 girls completed their extemely successful first season by winning the u10 girls Mid-South I Conference Championship of the Middlesex Yankee Conference Girls League.
Needham defeated a strong newton team 5 to 3 to win the championship.
The championship trophy will go on mantle next to the District 3 Championship the girls won earlier this year. The girls, coaches, and parents demonstrated great effort, skill, and enthusiasm throughout the long season.
Last year at this time, NYH had no girls program or teams, but we had 19 young ladies interested in playing travel hockey. With the help of Fred Cromp, the coaching staff, and the work the girls put in throughout the season, the 19 young ladies have set a great foundation for NYH to build a successful girls program.
The coaches and girls worked tirelessly through the season to improve, but never forgot the basic tenants that hockey is about having fun, working hard, and being part of a team.
Next season many of the girls will move up and lead our u12 girls team while several will stay and mentor and lead a new group of u10 players.
Congrats on a great season.....
Team members: Sara Annese, Rachel Bonasia, Caroline Bradbury, Ellis Brady, Lilly Callahan, Jamie Chmielewski, Jordyn Connors, Grace Fitzgerald, Caroline Forbes, Camryn Foster, Madelyn Foster, Bryn Hymovitz, Annie Karavolas, Mackenzie Kelly, Sara Kenney, Madison Michals, Erin Payne, Brooke Reilly, Emma Skelly
Coaches: Steve Chmielewski, Bill Kenny, Dave Hymovitz, Mike Payne, Bob Bradbury, Jack Callahan

Martha's Vineyard completed their dominance of the mite division pulling out yet another hard fought close game. MV defeated Winchester 4 to 2 by scoring two goals in the last three minutes of the game. It was the 4th straight game that MV pulled out a 1 or 2 goal victory in the 3rd period.
Squirt: Needham 3 to 2 over SMS in OT
Needham battled back from 2 to 1 to tie it in the 3rd period and win in overtime. The win wrapped up an undefeated tournament for the Squirt B1's who dominated the squirt division, but found a strong SMS standing in their way of a championship. Goals by Brandon Allen, Theo Knopf, Ned Keenan and two assists by Chris Chen fueled the offensive in the championship game while goalie Tim Foley and the defense (Ryan Lavelle, Ryan Turner, Elizabeth Phalen, and Timmy Hasenfus) held SMS at bay. Bryan Anderson, Lucas Barnes, Anthony Berejik, Michael Fanning, Jared McEvoy, Jessica McEvoy, and Jason Sgroi all contributed offense and strong two-way play throughout the tournament.
PeeWee: W. Vipers over Needham 2 to 1 in OT
Six periods of hockey was not enough, Westcheter Vipers and Needham needed overtime to determine a champion. After battling to a first round tie, The Vipers and the Needham PW B1's picked up where they left off. The teams competed for every loose puck, skated hard, and played solid two-way hockey. After battling to a 1-1 tie through regulation, the Vipers were able to pull out a win in OT.

Newton avenged their 1 to 0 loss to Framingham on Saturday night. Newton came out flying on Sunday morning and knocked off the undefeated Framingham team who had only surrended 3 goals in their first 3 games.
