We thank all those that applied for a coaching position. Many highly qualified individuals - the most in many years - answered our call for coaching which made for some difficult (in the best kind of way) decisions. We are grateful and for the dedication of the volunteers who interviewed.
As we set are sights on the coming season, we sincerely hope those not selected to lead a team will be willing to lend their many years of hockey experience to the Head Coaching Staff and Coaching Director.
PeeWee A Wins March Madness Tournament!
by posted 04/04/2008
The Hamden Pee Wee A won the championship game in the recent March Madness Tournament held at the Northford Ice pavillion. They faced the Rangers, an all star team composed of T-1 and T-2 players. The shear determination of the Hamden team earned them the win. With 35 seconds left on the clock in regulation play, the team trailed 0-1, when Andrew Calabrese scored to tie the game forcing an overtime situation. The mighty dragons prevailed and score to win the tournament a minute into overtime. The team is coached by Jim Lynch, John Buckley and Paul Coleman. A great end to a great season. The dragons also earned blue ribbons in 2 of the 6 skills competitions. Sean O'keefe came in first in the fastest backwards skater and the Hamden relay team came in first place. Thank you to the Southern Stars program for hosting a first class tournament with spot light introductions, skills competions, raffles and family cook out.

CHC - USA Hockey Coaches Helmet Rule and Violations
by tpl posted 09/12/2007
ALL coaches MUST be wearing helmets on the ice during all practices. This includes house and travel teams, as well as clinics. There has been plenty of time to communicate this rule, and compliance should be a given at this point. But this has not been the case. The rule is simple and does require 100% compliance by all CHC member programs and their coaches.
The rule is as follows. A “modern” helmet must be used at all times when a coach is on the ice. Enforcement is made through the punishment for each offense: 1st infraction = Warning; 2nd infraction = 1-game suspension; 3rd infraction = Match penalty. Sanctions may also be imposed upon the program for wanton disregard of this rule.
