The Wayzata Youth Hockey Association is dedicated to maintaining the health and safety of all of our players, coaches, parents, and fans. It is your responsibility as a WYHA member and/or player to be respectful of your fellow players, coaches, and volunteers by following the safety protocols we have put in place.

Please refer to our dedicated COVID-19 page, which contains comprehensive information about our approach to health and safety this season. It is imperative that all WYHA members take the the time to read and understand the entire WYHA COVID-19 Preparedness Plan & Member Expectations, which will serve as your guide for ensuring the health and safety of all of our players, coaches, volunteers, and fans this season.

For a quick reference, feel free to download and print the COVID-19 Executive Summary which contains reminders about the most important aspects of our Preparedness Plan.

SKATING AND SCORING CLINIC:

This clinic will focus on improving players overall skating skills (proper skating technique, stride, utilizing edges for speed)  and refining shooting techniques and tactics, such as utilizing a quick release, wrist shot, backhand, snap shot, and more. Note: Due to COVID and the rules placed upon the program, the number of registrations are limited. Moreover, all parents and players must abide by the rules set by the City of Plymouth.

DEFENSE & CHECKING CLINIC:

Checking can be defined as using physical force and/or body positioning (without breaking the rules) to either gain possession of the puck or to disrupt the opposition’s play.  There is a great deal of danger in throwing a check. It is not that you can get hurt (although that is always possible) but rather that you can get burned by putting yourself out of position.

We will teach the proper technique of body checking and playing defensive hockey, including body positioning, receiving a check, shoulder check, covering, gap control, angling, steering, etc.

Note: Due to COVID and the rules placed upon the program, the number of registrations are limited. Moreover, all parents and players must abide by the rules set by the City of Plymouth.
