| 17th Annual James Cup Review The 17th Annual James Cup was held on Sunday, February 16th at ISCC
Over 100 players from Simsbury, Avon, South Windsor and Northern Lights participated in the event
The James Cup honors the memory of James Stover, who was a SYHA Mite House player in 2003 when he passed away in a tragic accident. James's zest for life and happy attitude are celebrated in this "just for fun" tournament, where no scores are kept and everybody gets in on the action on the ice.
Simsbury player James McCann was awarded the Gary Loftus Award. This award, given in memory of a hockey parent extraordinaire, recognizes a player's willingness to work hard while maintaining a positive attitude and exemplary sportsmanship. Congratulations James! Way to make SYHA Proud!
Entry fees and donations from the James Cup benefit the SYHA James A. Stover Scholarship Fund. Click here to learn more about this scholarship, which provides funds to enable players to participate in Simsbury Youth Hockey, regardless of financial ability.

2020 Gary Loftus Award Winner - James McCann

Thank you to all participants and volunteers!

and I will be working on filling the open board member positions for the upcoming season. The nominees will be presented to the current SYHA Board on March 10th for their approval.
An additional goal of the committee will be to look long term on succession in future years. The Simsbury Youth Hockey Association has been an organization built on volunteer involvement since 1971. That tradition continues and we ask that if you have an interest in getting more involved with SYHA, please reach out to any of the committee members by Friday, February 28th.

In the 2020-21 season, we have the following Board and Committee roles that need to be filled:
- Assistant Registrar (Succession Planning Role) - Assist the Registrar with submitting completed team rosters to the Connecticut Hockey Conference before the start of the season, ensuring that all SYHA players and coaches are properly registered with both SYHA and USA Hockey. It is expected that this person will assume all Registrar responsibilities in the 2021-22 season.
- Assistant Master Scheduler (Succession Planning Role) - Assist the Master Scheduler with scheduling all practice and game times, as well as coordinate game officials, for all teams / divisions. It is expected that this person will assume all Master Scheduler responsibilities in the 2021-22 season.

The Girls High School Team registration is open to experienced players entering 9th through 12th Grade in the 2020-21 School Year.

An ideal program for any athlete who participates in a Fall sport, but wants to play hockey to prepare for the winter season!
We must confirm interest as soon as possible to appropriately plan for the coming season and ensure that all girls have the opportunity to confirm their team placement before April 1st. Please note this program is open to players from all towns / high schools. Should there be enough interest / waitlist registrations, SYHA will field a second team and a tryout may be held (TBD).
Practice player (practice only) opportunities also available for a reduced season fee.
