The Granite State Wild invite you to come ‘Skate with the Wild!’
During the week of February 4th we invite our DYHA House League players and other players who are not currently members of a Granite State Wild team to hit the ice with our teams. Players born 2005 or earlier are invited. Players may attend one or both of the team skating sessions during this week. ‘Skate with the Wild’ is offered as an opportunity to meet our coaches and learn more about our travel hockey program in preparation for tryouts for our 2019-2020 teams. Wild tryouts start on March 4th.
Please visit www.doverhockey.org/skatewithwild to register your player. All players MUST be registered in advance. No walk-in registrations will be allowed.
The DYHA Board of Directors is seeking new members to join the Board later this year. New Board members selection will take place as part of our Annual Meeting in May. At that time, some of the current members of the Board will be completing their terms.
DYHA is a non-profit hockey organization managed by a Board of Directors, which made up primarily of parents of current DYHA players. The Board is responsible for managing all aspects of the organization's operations.
Anyone interested in becoming a member of the DYHA Board is encouraged to attend an upcoming meeting to get a better understanding of the Board's role and processes. Meetings are typically held on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month in the main conference room of the Dover Ice Arena. The date and time of the next scheduled meeting is also posted at www.doverhockey.org/boardmeetingminutes.
For more information or questions about participating on the DYHA Board , please contact Jeremy Forest at dyhapresident@doverhockey.org.
Tryouts for all 2019-20 Granite State Wild have been scheduled for the first two weeks in March:
Major/Minor Teams
Tryouts for all Granite State Wild Major & Minor teams will be held during the week of March 4th. Major & Minor teams are 'birth specific' (ie, all players born in 2006). These teams compete in the New England Premier Hockey League. Some major/minor teams also participate in the Granite State League.
Select & Mite DevelopmentTeams
Tryouts for Granite State Wild Select & Mite Development teams will be held during the weeks of March 4th and March 11th. These are 'combined birth year' teams (ie, players born in 2007 & 2008). These teams compete in the Granite State League and Seacoast Hockey League (in most cases).
The 2019-20 Granite State Wild Program Guide will be available in early February. This will detail all program offerings and costs. A specific tryout schedule will be published in late February.
The Granite State Wild is now accepting head coaching applications for all 2019-20 Wild Major, Minor & Select teams. The deadline for submitting an application is Sunday, February 17th.
Only applications for head coaching positions are needed. Assistant coaches will be selected following Wild tryouts.
