Attention Goaltenders!! 
In keeping with tradition, CPYHA will be offering two goaltending clinics in August, free to all registered CPYHA goaltenders from the Mite Travel through Midget teams, including the Girl's teams.  The dates and times are as follows:
Sunday August 16th 6pm - 7:20pm on the CP2
&
Sunday August 30th 6pm - 7:20pm on the CP2

These clinics will be a great tune-up going into September try-outs.  In order to maximize the clinics' potential, we are asking for all goaltenders interested in attending to e-mail V.P. Brian at dnwardspiral@aol.com to reserve a spot.  In addition, any questions regarding the clinics may be e-mailed to Brian as well.
Once again CPYHA will be marching in the Clifton Park 4th of July parade on Saturday, July 4th.  We are looking for as many volunteers as possible to march with us.  Our goal is to beat last years turnout of 50 people.  We will be meeting at 11:00AM at the main entrance to the Shen Campus.  The parade starts at 12 noon and ends at the Commons.  For more information or to RSVP about joining in please contact Tom Rourke at rourket@mohawkpaper.com or Tim Palmer at Tim.Palmer@ipd1.com.

Volunteer Coaches Always Needed!

CPYHA is always seeking volunteers to help coach our youth hockey teams. If you have an interest in coaching, we encourage you to become involved in this rewarding position working with our players. USA Hockey has training programs to ensure that all of our coaches are properly trained and certified. The first step in this process is a level 1 Certification Clinic.
