WYHA Guidelines for Practice, Games, Scrimmages and Tournaments 

The WYHA supports the USA Hockey recommended 2 practices to 1 game ratio. A game is defined as an activity where 2 teams compete against each other, so a scrimmage, league game or a single tournament game are considered a game. 

A Bantam, 15U, Pee Wee and 12U teams should plan on scheduling 35-40 game type events before District tournament or play-offs in order to accomplish the goal of 2 to 1.

Teams are scheduled for 3 tournaments, 1 out of town, 2 with in daily driving distance of Plymouth. Additional tournaments can be added but District games can not be rescheduled to add a tournament. MN Hockey rules do not allow more then 2 games a day and there must be a 3 hour rest period between games.

Skill sessions cannot be canceled. All players and coaches need to attend the dry land and on ice skill sessions. This includes goalies.

Teams must keep their game schedule updated on their team page on the website with all games and scores. This should be completed within 72 hours after a game.
