Here are the events that will take place this coming hockey season:
1-The CIAC Hockey Committee along with the Referee’s Association will sponsor a boys virtual Coaches and Captains meeting on Monday, November 25, 2024, at 6pm. The Referee’s will go over the new rule changes, I’ll go over some of the thing’s CHSCA will be doing, and Marc Balanda-chairman and Joe Morrell (tournament director) will go over the tournament for this coming year. Please make every effort to attend along with your captains for this virtual meeting.
2-Our boys & girls’ all-star games and placement of players and information will be announced later.
3-We will again be doing the Hobey Baker High School Character Award for boys and girls with more information to follow and the CHSCA Hockey All State Dinner for boys and girls will be held on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the Aqua Turf at 1:00pm. Doors open at 12 noon. We will again have no seating plan. The awards given will be Asst. Coach of the Year, MVP in all 3 divisions, Player of the Year, CHSCA Team of the Year and Coach of the Year. All ticket money must be paid online through the CHSCA web page. For you to vote and participate in the many things that our association does for boys and girls ice hockey, you need to be a member of the association. You can sign up on our web site and pay at www.chsca.org
4-All 3 boys divisions will be the same as last season. Also, there are no teams that have opted out of the state tournament this year.
5- The CIAC Ice Hockey Committee from our organization will be the same. They are Sal Follo, Ex Officio member, Ralph Russo, Mac Budd, Dean Diamond and Frank Usseglio (Girls). We will continue to represent our ice hockey coaches. I will continue to let everyone know what is going on and ask for your input before the members vote on any matter that comes before us. That is our responsibility to represent you and our organization (CHSCA). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. If I don’t have an answer for you, I will make sure to contact the CIAC and get the answer and pass it on to you.
6-I will continue to update the e-mail addresses for coaches. If you have changed your e-mail address or want to add one, please let me know. Also, if you want an assistant coach added, please pass the information on to me.
Please check the CHSCA web site for upcoming news and events relating to hockey. The website is www.chsca.org If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me at [email protected] or my cell phone at 203-627-7700. I will put out at least 3 newsletters this season.
Hope to see everyone at our virtual coaches and captains meeting on November 21, 2024.
