Board Member Election 2024

Members, 
The annual meeting of the DLYHA is set for April 8th, 2024 at 6:30 PM above Rink 1 at the Kent Freeman Arena. New board members are elected at this meeting and any requested changes to our association by-laws are presented and approved. As with every year, there are three open board positions up for election. All interested parties should express their intent to run along with their bio, areas of expertise, and their 'why' by emailing Jenna Shornack at Jenna_gunderson@yahoo.com no later than April 1st, 2024. After April 1st, 2024, no more candidates will be allowed to run for the open positions. It is recommended that anyone interested in running for a board position should attend at a minimum two prior meetings to understand the operating functions of the board and know what they are volunteering for.
Upon completion of the annual meeting, the first meeting of the 2024 - 2025 season will commence. As members of the association, this is the time to impact any changes wanted by showing up to cast your vote for the candidates of your choice. Please note that for each family who registers one or more children to participate in the DLYHA, either or both parents/legal guardians of that child/children shall be considered a member of the Association and can cast a vote. Non-parent coaches are also considered members and shall have no more than one vote.

Please take the time to come to the meeting and cast your vote.

Regards,
Your DLYHA Board

Hi everyone!

We are committed to giving every player in Detroit Lakes Youth Hockey the tools to reach their greatest potential.

With that in mind, we are partnering with Project Hockey to bring you the best at-home hockey training system on the planet. Start now for a free trial, which will roll into a subscription from September through February covered by DL Youth Hockey. 

This training system is all contained in one simple app that each player can download onto their phone (or a parent's device) and use it to train every single day.

Here's what we get:

I can't wait to see you take your training to the next level! 
Instructions to download the app and get started:

  1. Sign up here: LINK

  2. Use coupon code: DETROITLAKES1

  3. Download the app on your Apple devices: LINK

  4. Download the app on your Android devices: LINK

  5. Start training today and #dothework

Additionally, join us for a quick Zoom introduction with Project Hockey's coach and founder (and my college teammate) Danny Heath, Monday, June 19, 6:30-7 pm.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Joe Schiller
Hockey Director

P.S. It will request that you enter your credit card information into the system. The reason for this is so that the Project Hockey App can save your personal training data. In the future, you can then stay signed up for the program as long as you would like for $11.99/month for life (which is 40% off), after DLYHA's partnership expires at the end of next hockey season.



Board Meeting Decorum

If you plan on attending and speaking at a board meeting please read the following rules on speakin g and attending a public meeting.


Join Our Hockey Officials Team

So you thought that wearing the stripes might be fun, or hard work, or frustrating, or the best seat in the house, or a good way to get some extra ice time, a good part-time job, a possible career, or perhaps something else entirely. The fact is, you’d be right on all counts. These are all valid reasons for wanting to serve as a referee, and here at Detroit Lakes Youth Hockey, we have a solid core of experienced officials who can help you get started. While it is a fact that we are all still learning, not all learning needs to be the hard way. To that end, our Mentor Program provides a senior official for you to follow on the ice and to then follow you for the first few games to work on positioning, seeing the ice, making calls, dealing with questions, working with your partner, and all the other things that we are constantly seeking to improve.
If this sounds like a good thing to you, there are a few steps to take to get started.
1. Go to Usahockey.com and click on the Become a Member button. You have probably done this as a player, but
you will need to do it again as an official.
2. Complete the registration process (your registration fee gets reimbursed with the first game you officiate!) and then
sign up for a Level One seminar. Our local seminar is on the 18th of Sept, so sign up sooner rather than later.
Space is limited.
3. Get a whistle! Not a basketball whistle. The Acme Thunder and Fox 40 are favorites with hockey officials.
OfficialsWearhouse.com carries them.
4. We have helmet/shield combos and sweaters for you to borrow until you decide you need your own.
5. Black pants are required. Can be warm-up pants or sweat pants. Shin pads and a cup (for males) are highly
recommended. Elbow pads might also be a good thing.

Congratulations!
You’re a part of the hardest working team on the ice!
