Hi Everyone,
 
Thanks for coming out to tryouts for the midget program.  As you all probably know, your son has made the team!!   In order for the program to get off the ground WCYHA now needs a commitment from each of us.
 
Each player needs to be registered through USA hockey.  This can be done by going to the USAhockey website.  After you register,  you can either email your registration to Megan McLean at or mail it to WCYHA P.O. Box 7, Danbury, Ct. 06813. 
 
In addition to this registration , a deposit of half the tuition or $350.00 is needed to secure your son's spot on the team.  Both of these items are very important and time sensitive.  They must be received by July 14th.  Before ice time can be secured, games scheduled and uniforms ordered we must be sure that there is a commitment from everyone.  So it is very important that you adhere to the deadline.
 
After the tuition deposits are made and everyone is USA hockey registered, we will officially become the first midget team for WCYHA. Information on practices, games and other paperwork needed will be given after initial deposits and USA hockey registrations are processed.
 
If for some reason, your son has decided not to play then please let me know asap.  We are still looking for a few players, so if your son has any teammates that are interested in playing then please have them get in touch with me.
 
Thanks to everyone and if you have any questions, please email me or call me at 775-6594.
 
Terri

Dear Western Parents and Players,

All eight of our teams are registered to participate in the 2009 Haunted
Shootout at the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, MA. The
tournament is scheduled for Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25.
The association has arranged for all our teams / families to stay at the
same hotel - provided you make a timely reservation! A block of rooms are
reserved at the Courtyard by Marriott in Marlborough, MA. The hotel is a
short drive from the arena.  Our room block is reserved through September
23rd. After that date you will only be able to secure a room based on
availability. Please make your reservations as soon as you can. We'd love
to have everyone together in the same hotel like we did last season.

Here is the hotel's address and information about making your reservation.

Courtyard by Marriott Marlborough
75 Felton St.
Marlborough, Massachusetts 01752 USA
Phone:  1-508-480-0015

To reserve your room:

   1. Call the hotel on 508-480-0015 and ask for "in-house" reservations.
   2. Use Code: WCHA and identify your association with Western Connecticut Youth Hockey and
      indicate the dates of Friday, October 23 through Sunday, October 25.
   3. Specify your team (e.g. Mite, Squirt A, etc.)
   4. Secure your room by credit card.

The rate for a family of four including breakfast is $126.00 per night.  If you chose to not include breakfast the room rate is $104.00 per night. Both room rates are subject to 9.7% Hotel Tax.

Please note that your team may have an early morning or daytime game on Friday, October 23rd.  This would mean going up Thursday night or that your player needs to leave school early on Friday. The game schedule will be released approximately two weeks before the tournament.

If your team does not advance to Sunday, the hotel will not refund your room rate for Saturday night if not cancelled within 24 hours.
