North Pittsburgh Youth Hockey Association: NPYHA News: About the North Pittsburgh Youth Hockey Association....
About the North Pittsburgh Youth Hockey Association....Welcome to North Pittsburgh Youth Hockey Association's (NPYHA) web site. We are a USA Hockey member and compete in the Pittsburgh Amateur Hockey League (PAHL). Our home ice is located in the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh at the Bladerunners Ice Complex in Warrendale/Cranberry Township, PA. NPYHA has been involved with USA Hockey and PAHL since 1995. Over the past decade, we have seen nothing short of amazing growth in both our travel hockey and hockey development program (HDP). This year (2005-2006) we will have three Mite, five squirt, five PeeWee, six Bantam, and four Midget teams along with two girls teams.
Our Midget teams are U18 AA/A and U16 A/AA. These teams will not be age dependent, but rather based on tryout results. We have also made it possible for those players that are used to a "full" league and tournament schedule to continue to do so as a Midget as well....something that we have not consistently done in the past. Our two girls teams are U14 and U19. We are also proud of our excellent USA Hockey approved Hockey Developmental Program (HDP). This program continues to provide the basic skating and puck handling skills required for future participation on our travel teams as well as a fun environment including "in-house" scrimmage games.
If you are active with one of the NPYHA teams, we ask that you use this home page as your starting point, then click on the "Teams" section for links to our NPYHA team sites. And remember that every year we need a volunteer from each team to perform the team webmaster role. That way all of our teams can use our NPYHA web site as a way to provide information to share with their family, friends, and fans every year. You can even review past team information year in and year out by selecting the season of interest after clicking on "teams".
If you want to learn more about our organization we invite you to sign our guest book and to browse the site. If you need additional access more of this site's pages, please request membership at the bottom left of this home page by clicking on "Be a Member" and the webmaster will be in contact with you shortly. Make sure you include what your relationship is to a NPYHA player, coach, or administrator (e.g. parent, grandparent, brother, etc.) so that the proper site access can be assigned to your email address.
We hope you enjoy the site!
