Ice RentalWhere does the money go?

Girls Program 2014-15The DAYHA Girls Committee and Board have reviewed the 2015-2016 projected registered girls, ice availability, appropriate skill levels and association feedback. The following is the plan for the 2015-2016 season:

• 8u – Maintain a Delano 8u team. Please recruit your friends, neighbors and siblings as we can always use more. The future of the program starts with the 8u level!

• 10u – Maintain a Delano 10u B team. Our projections will be less than last year, so we encourage each of you to recruit friends, neighbors and siblings.

• 12u – Delano 12u B team*. DAYHA is excited to offer a Delano only 12u team. The goal is to grow numbers to offer an A and a B team in future years in D3.

• 15u – Delano 15u A team*. DAYHA is excited to offer a Delano only 15u team. 15u is new to MN Hockey. The objective is to reduce the attrition from 14u/High School. This will likely be temporary as the future will be a High School Jr. Varsity or Varsity program which will start in 2016-17 season in Delano! Longer term, the goal is to grow our numbers to support a High School and 15u program.
