TEAM SELECTION & POSTING
Tryouts and travel team selections will be carried out according to PYH’s Travel Team Composition Policy and Procedures. http://leagueathletics.com/Page.asp?n=151951&org=PARKWAYYOUTHHOCKEY.ORG
Travel team rosters will be posted after the conclusion of the current travel hockey season and playoffs, approximately mid-April. From the end of tryouts until rosters are posted coaches will be chosen and the travel team selection process will be taking place.
Please note, players are not guaranteed a spot of a travel team by trying out; some players may not be assigned to a travel team due to the number of players/teams at a given level in a given year. Every effort shall be made to place a player in a PYH program or team should they not be assigned to a travel team.

SPECIAL MESSAGE ON MITE TRAVEL
PYH has been notified this month by Mass Hockey, our governing body, that it will no longer be able to sanction full ice games at the Mite travel level for its affiliated programs beginning next season http://www.mahockey.org/news_article/show/757197?referrer_id=662793.
Programs operating under Mass Hockey must only offer half-ice or cross ice games. For the past two seasons, PYH has sponsored one Mite travel team within the Valley Hockey League and has also placed teams in the Town Line League. The PYH Board has begun to explore potential options for Mite level travel teams among available programs and will pass along additional information as it becomes available. Unless otherwise determined by the PYH Board the tryout currently scheduled will be to select one Mite VHL team for the 2017-2018 season, with the remaining players playing in the Town Line League.
PRIOR BALANCES -
If your child participated in one of our House programs or Travel teams this year, then you already have an account in our system. Please do not create a new one. If you have a problem logging in, please make sure that you are using the correct email address (i.e. work, home, spouse's email address, etc.).
Final tuition payments for the current 2016-2017 season (and any prior balances) are due in full and need to be paid before tryouts. Please note that players with outstanding balances will not be assigned to a try out session until the balance is paid in full, and may not be placed on a travel team roster for the 2017-2018 season.
Please note, currently more than $90,000.00 remains outstanding to PYH in travel and house program fees for this season. Like you, PYH must meet its monthly expenses in order to operate successfully. These expenses include ice costs, skills sessions and game league fees. We appreciate your cooperation in this regard.
Please email us at parkwayyouthhockey@gmail.com if you have any questions about any balance information that you see on the website. Parkway Youth Hockey does offer limited financial assistance and payment plans for tuition costs if it is needed.
