PYHA has been selected as a winner for this year's Gear Up Minnesota Grant.

Email From Minnesota Hockey; Executive Director, Glen Anderson:

Congratulations!  The Princeton Youth Hockey Association will be receiving 10 sets of starter hockey equipment as part of the 2015 Gear Up Minnesota! starter equipment grant program.  Each set, valued at close to $200, will include everything a young player needs except skates, stick, and supporter/cup.  You will receive all sets in mid to late summer.  More information will be emailed to you in the near future with specific details about the equipment you will be receiving. At this time, we ask that you please verify the correct contact and address for shipping purposes.

We appreciate the time you took to apply for a Gear Up Minnesota! grant.  We realize you are a volunteer and we are excited that you and your counterparts are willing to dedicate so much effort and energy to increase the number of young Minnesotans that play and love hockey!  If you haven’t already, you will soon find that loaning starter hockey equipment to a new hockey family is one of the most effective ways to grow your association.  We have had a large number of associations take advantage of these sets in fun and creative ways to get more kids playing hockey. We’d love to hear how you’re using them and feature you on our website and newsletter. This is such an important program and we want to keep growing the number of sets that associations can utilize.

Once again this year, Total Hockey and the Minnesota Wild Foundation are the signature supporters of Gear Up Minnesota! Subway, Shock Doctor and Northwest Designs also made significant contributions to the program.  Due to this tremendous generosity, the 2015 Gear Up Minnesota! equipment grant program is granting a total of 437 sets of starter equipment for the 2015-16 season and beyond!  Thank you to our partners!

Finally, I wanted to share a short video that we showed at our Minnesota Hockey Awards Dinner last month. We think it does a great job of showing how unique hockey in Minnesota is at all levels. None of that would be possible without your passion and hard work to grow the game. Thank you for all that you do!
