Orono Hockey Boosters

 

 Mission Statement

Orono Hockey Boosters provides a traveling hockey program for youth in the Orono community, including but not limited to students in the Orono Minnesota School District. We operate I-Mite, Termite, and Mite programs as well as traveling teams for boys at the A, B, and C levels for Squirts, PeeWees, and Bantams, and for girls at the U10, U12, and U14 levels. We also are committed to offering a program at other youth levels (U8, Junior Gold) when the demand within our association justifies doing so. We operate under the terms of a Code of Conduct that is signed and acknowledged by all players, parents, and coaches each season.
Our philosophy is to promote the growth and development of players in a fun, fair, and safe environment that maximizes player participation and skill development at all levels while also developing sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-confidence.
We believe that participation in youth hockey should lead to building of personal self-esteem, self-discipline, social skills, and respect for others.
We are committed to evaluating our programs on an ongoing basis to ensure that we are serving our memberships’ needs, developing our players at all skill levels, and providing a positive experience for our youth.

Congratulations to Tracy and Mike O’Connor, Chris and Kerry Swanson and Pete and Martha Eckerline for buying the reserved parking spots at the Orono Hockey Rink.  

This has become a very popular and favorite bidding item at the Annual Fall Face-Off. Thank you to these families for their generous donation to Orono Hockey Association.
 
The signs are up and these parking spots are now officially “owned” by these families for the season. Please be respectful and do not park in these reserved spots. If however, you do, you may earn yourself a “ticket” requesting you to make a $50 donation to the Orono Hockey Association.

 

Recall of RBK and CCM hockey helmets

December 4, 2008 (Montreal, QC) - On December 2, the Consumer Product Safety Commission released a recall notice, in the United States, on a number of RBK and CCM hockey helmets. The recall pertains to an issue that first came to our attention during the summer. In July, we alerted all affected retailers of the possibility they had received some helmets that did not fully comply with a relevant chin strap standard. We discovered in our internal testing that a helmet component that did not fully meet our internal quality control standards had made it into a small quantity of finished goods. We knew that the potentially affected helmets shipped from our distribution center between the limited period of June 1, 2008, and July 16, 2008. Therefore, we initially only contacted those retailers that received shipments during that period. At that time we asked the retailers that were possibly affected to check their inventory and return to us any helmets that matched the serial number pattern described in the recall notice. This process enabled us to retrieve and repair a large percentage of the affected helmets.

Any consumer that has a helmet described by the CPSC recall notice should return to the store where they purchased the helmet. If the store had not been contacted by Reebok-CCM over the summer, it means that they did not receive any of the potentially affected helmets. If the retailer was part of the initial recall effort over the summer and the helmet has a serial number that matches those described by the recall notice, the helmet will be replaced free of charge.

We apologize for any inconvenience this recall may cause. The safety of our customers is our highest priority. Should you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-451-4600 if you are located in the USA, or 1-800-636-5895 if you are located in Canada.

Official OYHA Traveling Skate Suit

In an effort to promote a unified and consistant image when our traveling teams play at other associations,  we are promoting an official Orono Youth Hockey Assocation Traveling Skate Suit.

The Orono Youth Hockey Board has partnered with Varsity Sports on this opportunity. 

We encourage each team to consider purchasing this Skate Suite at the beginning of this season.  The suit can be worn for a minimum of two years.  This is potentially a large cost savings for families who typically purchase apparel each year.

Please select the link below for ordering and more information.
