CCYHA Mission Statement:

The safety of each player is our organization's highest priority.  The purpose
of this organization is to provide an opportunity for young people to learn
the rules and skills of ice hockey through supervised instruction and
competition while emphasizing the ideals of good sportsmanship and
teamwork.

CCYHA Families:

With the rollback to phase 2.1, there are new state guidelines that we MUST adhere to. As of Monday 11/9, the following rules will apply:

• Masks must be worn on the ice at all times by all players and coaches, which means masks are to be worn by everyone at all times while in the building.
• Out of state travel games are not allowed
• Hosting out of state teams will not be allowed
• There will be a strict one spectator per player policy as we now have to report to our local public health dept. Rink staff will require rosters from all teams and will check off the one spectator per player during the weekends. Coaches are considered the one spectator. Team managers will be allowed to attend.

What better way to spend time while our kids are practicing and playing than to play some virtual golf. Overlooking the Red Rink at Newington Arena, Arena Golf will be open for business on Monday November 2 at 9am. Please visit www.arenagolfct.com for more information and to book time in our state of art golf simulator.

The Central Capitals Squirt AA team won the Columbus Fall Classic tournament at Northford Ice Arena in thrilling fashion with a 6-5 overtime win over Yale AA.  Luke DeFilio nailed the game winner with 34 seconds left in OT off a pass from Jackson Faber to set off the celebration!  Braeden Smith opened the scoring at 4:36 of the first period.  Soren Walsh followed with a goal to give the Capitals a 2-0 lead.  Yale AA would not go away, scoring two goals late in the 1^st period to tie the game.  Will "Knuckles" Roberts netted the only goal in the 2^nd period giving the Capitals a 3-2 lead heading into the 3^rd.  Jackson Faber and Braden Linskey both scored in the 3^rd period but Yale managed three goals to tie the game.  Griffin Fink, the Capitals star goalie, saved a barrage of shots by Yale late in the 3^rd period to send the game into OT.  That set up Luke DeFilio's dramatic game winner in OT.

The Capitals ran the table with five straight wins to capture the title.  Outstanding effort by all of the Squirt AA players!!

Congratulations to players and coaches !!!!!

CCYHA Families,

As we are starting the 2020-2021 youth hockey season, we want to make sure that we are doing our part to ensure the safety of all of our members. Division Directors have been instructed to notify team schedulers to limit out of state travel. CCYHA will not be attending the Jingle Bell Tournament this year. Attached are our guidelines for our home rink:

The Coronavirus or Tropical Storm Isiais couldnt stop the House League Cup from being raised. In a stunning upset rivaling USA over Russia in the 1980 Olympics, the 3rd seeded Coyotes knocked off the 2nd seeded Blues then went on to beat the 1st seeded Predators to capture the Cup.
