2008 Summer Dryland Program

This is a FREE program!!!

Participants will have access to Varsity weight room, shooting room and Varsity locker room. This program is designed to develop skaters to become faster, more agile, and better stickhandlers and shooters. The cost of the program is being sponsored by AAYHA and the Blue Line Club which means the cost to current AAYHA members is zero!! This is a great opportunity for our all skaters to develop their skills and see results.

Board of Directors

This is a reminder that when you are at the rink and see others working, please chip in and help while waiting for your skater. There is always something to do: sweeping, picking up, taking garbage out, cleaning locker rooms, and cleaning the glass. Team cleanup schedules are posted below. Each team is assigned a two week period that they are responsible for. Any work you do will earn work hours at the same time. This is one of the more important jobs of the rink, as ones first impression of our association is how clean or dirty our rink is.
