You've registered your LTS, Mite and/or OCHC Player.  What Now?!

1. Get your gear!  Check below for some helpful images to outfit your player.  Please visit USA Hockey's website for some great information by clicking HERE!  Please remember, proper equipment must be worn by each skater.  It can prevent serious injuries.  Ill-fitting, or worn-out equipment does not provide the protection it was meant to give.  
2. If you are brand new to hockey this year and registered for the the WYHA Mites Program, you will need a jersey.  LTS Players DO NOT need to have an official WYHA Jersey Uniform (WYHA jersey and socks).  Any jersey can be worn if you registered for Learn to Skate.  
3. OCHC Players (10U and Up) and Whitestown Mite Players- Uniform ordering is included in the registration process.    Team Managers will reach out to those that selected to order uniforms and warm-ups during registration to ask for sizing information and jersey number.   To determine your player's jersey size, please see below for a sizing graphic from Verbero (the company where OCHC jersey orders are placed).  Mite Jerseys are ordered from CNY Apparel.
4. How to Determine Sock Size for OCHC/WYHA jersey uniform.  See the graphic below to help determine what size sock you will need to go over shin guards.
5. Determine your Shell Size for OCHC jersey uniform.  Red colored shell is to be worn over hockey pants.  
6. Check the Ice Schedule for practices and game times!  See our homepage at www.whitestownyouthhockey.org for information on "How To View Your Hockey Schedule".  Download the SE APP.  Once your player is rostered, you can connect with your team through this APP.  See the Sportsengine Quick Start Guide by clicking HERE.
7. Get ready to enjoy the season!  Please note: We use SportsEngine, the SE APP for specific team info, the WYHA Website and WYHA FB and OCHC FB page to communicate!  

As another hockey season quickly approaches, we want to educate our memberships on the base costs associated with a season of hockey. New Hartford Youth Hockey and Whitestown Youth Hockey's partnership as Oneida County Hockey Club (OCHC) are looking forward to working together in the coming year to provide a strong hockey program in our area. Please note, the numbers below are not what our 2022-2023 registration costs will be. This is simply a snapshot we want to share. Over the years, our programs have diligently worked to keep costs down as ice rentals, referees and other operating expenses have been on the rise.   Click HERE to review the cost breakdown.
 

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR EVERYONE

Officiating in youth sports across the country is being confronted with similar fates: a decline in officials due to a lack of respect from adults. Many young officials put their stripes on for the first time, excited and eager to pursue a hockey dream. Just like our kids on the ice playing, they are learning and perfecting their craft. But the dream, too many times, is met with yelling or arguing from adults at rinks.

There is a human element to officiating. Every person that walks into a rink is accountable for his or her actions. As adults, we can set positive examples to our children about how to handle conflict and disagreements, with respect. And at its core, hockey is built on respect.

That handshake line we all love at the end of the hockey games? The stick salute to our opponents? It's all to show respect.

Read more about how we can enact the change we wish to see when it comes to respect, and how we can build a better future for our young officials.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AND COACHING STAFF for their well earned tournament win!

The OCHC 14U state bound team helped open the Nexus Center in style as part of the "Grand Opening Tournament Series" during the weekend of November 18-20 as the team beat the Saratoga Blue Knights, 7-6 Sunday afternoon in a wild shootout to clinch the Bantam AA Championship.

After finishing 2-1 in the round-robin (including a 3-1 loss) OCHC pulled away in the 3rd period of their semifinal against the Utica Jr. Comets AA team to win by a score of 5-1, setting up a rematch with Saratoga. The teams exchanged goals twice before a tally by Landon Gentile gave OCHC a 3-2 lead late in the second period. Undaunted, the Blue Knights ran off 3 consecutive goals early in the 3rd to take a 5-3 lead with 13:38 to go. OCHC, however, refused to roll over and struck back with 3 consecutive goals of their own, including a power play goal by Jayden Skutnik that gave OCHC a 6-5 lead with 7:37 to go. Saratoga tied the game up two minutes later and it looked like the game was headed to overtime. But with just over a minute to go, defenseman Chad Hull picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone, drove the net, and got the game-winner past the Saratoga goalie with 1:08 to go.
