We are looking forward to a great year of hockey and skill development. Following are a few key updates about the upcoming season. I will keep the updates brief in this email, but I will be adding more information to the House Team page of the Omaha Hockey Club website throughout the season. 

1. Season Start: Season will begin September 24th with open Stick and Pucks. Each Age Group will be assigned several two hour blocks on the 24th and 25th where kids can come and go as the choose. Please watch the website and emails for times
2. Evaluations: We have improved the evaluation process for the upcoming season. This year, as in years past, the month of October will be all practices. Coaches will rotate each practice and have the opportunity to evaluate smaller groups of kids each week for the entire hour of practice. Your child will have more ice time and be evaluated by different coaches each week. This offers players more time to work on skills and get back into the season before teams are selected. Coaches will have more time to see every player and be able to identify what types of skills and drills they should be incorporating into their practice plans each week. Teams will be announced mid October.
3. House Select: Tryout dates will be announced for all age groups in mid-August. They will be held at Moylan Ice Rink. Be on the lookout for registration via email and on the House Team page.
4. Jerseys: In the interest of keeping costs down for our hockey families, we have revamped how jerseys will be utilized from season to season by using a dark and a light colored (home and away) jersey that your player will keep and use in Squirts, Pee Wees, and Bantams. Each game your child will wear either the dark or light jersey.

Please check the House Team page on the Omaha Hockey Club website regularly for more information, and be on the lookout for exciting new things to come to the House program this year.
