Avon Youth Hockey announces for the 2012-13 season, an In-House Recreational League for players aged 8 to 10 years old (Squirt Level). This program will continue the Skills Development Program from our programs run by Coach Scott Miller and his coaches. Game play will be cross-ice and some limited full ice games against surrounding programs in central Connecticut. Player commitment and fees will be less than travel teams while still providing hockey play and skill development in a recreational setting. Based upon program interest, this may be expanded to older players at the PeeWee level (age 10 - 12 years). Coach Mike Foley will be running this program with assistance from other local Avon Youth Hockey Coaches. Contact Mike with any questions at .

Hockey Kids are the Best
By Joe Scatchell

What is the worst thing that could happen to a four-year-old?  Where does not getting a trophy at the end of the season, while everyone else does, rank?  From a child’s perspective, probably right up there with the canceling of Christmas.  That’s what could have happened at our year-end celebration….but didn’t.

For the last 10 years, I’ve been privileged to help teach young children how to skate and the basics of hockey.  The Avon-Canton-Farmington Youth Hockey Association’s Learn-to-Skate and Developmental Programs are singularly-focused on growing the sport by making it fun.  We’ve been blessed to have a growing program despite the downturn in the economy due, no doubt, to the level of volunteerism our program enjoys.  The Board, Committee Chairs, Directors, Coaches and parents all put in immense amounts of time and effort for our kids to have fun.  Why we’re happy to put in this time and effort was abundantly apparent at the year-end celebration for our Developmental Program.

As the coordinator of our Developmental Program, I am responsible for ordering recognition trophies for each child.  I have a wonderful partner at DS Enterprises who has supplied us with low-cost “bling” that adds encouragement to our kids to keep playing hockey.  Each year, I end up with a box of extra trophies, so this year, in my infinite wisdom, I thought I would order based on the actual roster.  Unfortunately, I used the roster from the beginning of the season and missed a substantial number of new players that were added for our second-half session.

So, the rink filled with parents, grandparents, siblings and friends, all to see “Johnny” or “Tiffany” get their trophy.  After announcing the player’s name, we have Pucky, the AHL Whale mascot, high-fiving kids as they go down the line to thank all the volunteer coaches, ending with Director, Scott Miller, handing them their trophy.  The penalty box is crammed with folks aiming their cameras to record the big event.  Then the panic sets in.

Scott looks at me and asks for the rest of the trophies.  I tell him that he has them all.  A quick count shows that we are short; very short!  With no hole for me to crawl in, I go over to the kids who are waiting patiently for their trophies.  Some of them are older, having just made the decision to try hockey.  These “bigger” kids are no less anxious to get their trophy.  I tell a small group that is sitting together that we don’t have enough trophies.  I ask them if they wouldn’t mind getting theirs later, so that the “little” kids can each have one.  What happens next is why I love this sport and the people it attracts.

Rather than act petulant, these 7-9 year-olds, to a person, said “No problem, Coach”.  Other kids in the vicinity heard my plea and chimed in, “You can have mine, too, Coach”.  Some of them were the “little” kids for whom I was most concerned.  The story doesn’t end there, though.  As we’re packing up and saying our good-byes for the season, we overhear several stories of kids who handed the trophies they’d been awarded to others who hadn’t gotten one.  Mind you, these kids were mostly in the 4-6 year-old age range.

So, why do I love hockey?  To be surrounded by kids who are this unselfish and considerate and the parents that raise them, is a joy.  It reinforced for me that our sport brings out the best in people.  Hockey requires teamwork and support from everyone involved.  There was no greater example of this than when our kids stepped-up and bailed Coach Joe out.  There is no trophy big enough to recognize what our kids did for one another.  Hockey kids are simply the best!
