MYHA Kick Off Meeting 2018-2019
Our mission is to provide youth in the greater Menomonie area with the opportunity to learn, play and compete in the game of hockey with an emphasis on growth in the areas of skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
Cheer Not Yell! Be supportive and don t be mean. Support and encourage EVERYONE! Help out where & when needed. If no one volunteers. There is no hockey. Respect! You are not the coach. Do not shout at the referees or the other team. Welcome new families (and old)! https://www.lifeinpleasantville.com/ten- commandments-for-hockey-parents/

Tools, Not Rules The Model was created based on the value of practices and proper training above all else. Less emphasis on stats & win/loss records. More focus on learning the technical aspects of the game. The ADM is fun. USA Hockey believes in letting kids be kids. Keeping kids engaged, moving and smiling through optimal use of ice time. Believes in creating great athletes, not just hockey players. Age-appropriate structure and content. Increased puck time and station based practices Enhancing athleticism & emphasizing skill development. Encourages a 3:1 practice-to-game ration (younger levels) https://cdn4.sportngin.com/attachments/document/0042/7978/ADM_Newspaper.pdf
