Corrib Road race Volunteers:

I would like to extend my appreciation to all the volunteers who were able to donate their time before, during and after the Corrib Road Race.  The race and activities were a huge success for all the participants and families that were able to enjoy the day and all the festivities. The Corrib Charitable Trust does a great job every year to ensure the day is enjoyed by everyone.  This success could not be achieved without the continued support from the friends and families of Parkway Youth Hockey.  Thank you.

$10,000 Raffle & Party

Parkway Youth Hockey would like to thank all the parents, families and friends who supported the 1^st Annual Parkway Youth Hockey $10,000 Raffle.  The event was a HUGE success!!!  The $10,000 Grand Prize was won by a local family.  Parkway Youth Hockey raised over $11,000 for our program.  I would like to extend special Thank You to Darrin Greeley and Lee Vaughn for all their hard work.  I would also like to thank Parkway Youth Hockey’s “Ladies of the Raffles”; Sarah McAdams & Marie McCummings for all their efforts in raising additional Raffle $$ for our program.

Goalie Equipment Donation.  Thank You!!!

Parkway Youth Hockey would like to thank Alison Quandt for her generous donation of goalie equipment to Parkway Youth Hockey.  It is with continued support and assistance from people like Alison that make Parkway Youth Hockey one of the best hockey programs in the City of Boston.

At long last, the teams that will represent Parkway Youth Hockey during the 2009-10 season have been constituted.  Please choose the appropriate level (i.e. Mite, Squirt, etc.) on the "Travel Try Outs" tab at the top of the website to see the results for your child's program.

If your child has been selected to play on a Travel team, please make sure that they are properly entered into our website database (Name, EMail address and Date of Birth) so that we can assign them to their team's roster and match up their USA Hockey registration:

Thank you for your patience!!!

The McLaughlin League was developed three years ago as an alternative to travel hockey for the players who weren’t assigned to a travel team and also provide a less expensive option for young kids to participate in the game of hockey. All participants are assigned to one of six teams and receive a game jersey (which is theirs to keep at the end of the season). The teams consist of both “house” and “travel” players and are divided up so that the skills levels are evenly distributed. While each skating line consist of similar skills not pairing players with those of unequal skills, should this not be the case the more skilled player is asked to not dominate his shift but to set up the players of less skill. Most games seem to end with a score differential of one or two Goals.

All players are entitled to one hour of practice and one 50-minute game (3 periods) per week, with games being held on Friday nights at the Roche Arena. Each game is officicated by USA hockey certified referees and every two minutes the buzzer sounds for the teams to complete a line change. This ensures that all players receive a fairly equal amount of ice time.

Travel players are encouraged to enroll and participate in the Friday night games in a less stressful game environment. The League enables and encourages players to play all positions such as travel goalies having a chance to skate out as a wing, and develop an environment that gives a player the experience to try goal tending. Participants include Mites, Squirts and first year Pee Wee’s.

Through a partnership made possible by the Roche Family in the re-opening of the Jim Roche Community Ice Arena, the Roche Family Community Center along with Facility Management Corporation was able to give back to the community $20,500 of the rink's profits to skills clinics for Parkway Youth Hockey players.  Mayor Menino presented the check on behalf of the community center to Parkway Youth Hockey President Nick McCummings.

The donation will cover all costs associated with O’Sullivan Hockey Academy and ice rental fees for the next ten weeks of Skills Sessions. Based on the knowledge of this donation, the PYH Board of Directors was able to set player registration fees at a very reasonable level while offering exceptional coaching to all players. Parkway is proud to again offer among the most affordable hockey programs in the area due to generous donations from the Roche Center and our other sponsors.
