At the request of Mark Zayac I post this for your reading:

To the Plymouth Youth Hockey Board of Directors,

Plymouth Youth Hockey (PYH) has been a wonderful experience for me and my family. My children started out in the Learn to Skate Program and have enjoyed the experience all the way up to Midgets. We have made many lifelong friends over the years and have countless memories that we will cherish forever. 

Sadly, with one son entering college and the other not far behind, I feel it is time for me to retire from the Plymouth Youth Hockey Board of Directors.

I was asked to interview for a Board of Directors position in 2000, and was delighted at the opportunity. I was selected to join the Board of Directors that year. Since that time I have worked hard for the program, its members, and everything affiliated with it.

 As I look back at my tenure, I can be proud of what was accomplished during that time. As the Directors before me, who set out to make a difference, I too have tried to follow that path. There are many things I am proud of; we were selected as “Massachusetts Hockey Program of the Year” in 2006. We were selected as the “South Shore Conference Program of the Year” twice, 2003 and 2007. I was selected as “South Shore Conference Director of the Year” in 2007. We started the Power Skating Program. We have better budgeting tools. More ice time for our teams. We introduced new hockey jerseys and socks. We restarted the kick off picnic. We kept the Gibbons tournament going strong. We gave our coaches binders with pertinent information like rules, team information, conference information, and program information. The list goes on.

 I have put my heart and soul into PYH and have held many different positions from Coordinator to President. I have made myself available to help out where ever needed. From washing 40 sets of jerseys to refereeing tryouts continuously, I have done everything I could to help…..gladly.

 Finally, as I retire from my position from the Plymouth Youth Hockey Board of Directors, I want to wish you all the best in your journey to continually strive to keep Plymouth Youth Hockey the program of choice. I have loved every minute of it. 

Best Regards,

Mark Zayac

From Gordie McClay

I would like to let the membership know that as of today I have resigned as a member of the board of directors of Plymouth Youth Hockey. It was a hard decision to make but I believe it is the best decision for myself and my family. I have enjoyed my 7 years on the board and we worked hard to provide the membership with the best program possible. I wish everyone luck with the season, thank you for the support over the years and hope that I still see you around the rink. The web site will be up for a while until the BOD comes up with a new site and web master.

Respectfully,

Gordie McClay

South Shore Conference will have a B2 division next year. Plymouth Youth Hockey will enter teams into this division. This will help out with scheduling and having 3 to 4 teams with SSC. All the programs also met with Yankee Conference and put together a plan to help get through this year with scheduling and plans to correct for next season. A big part of the solution is the SSC forming a B2 league. This is great for our program and we look forward to this initiative.

Congratulations to the Pee Wee A team who had a great weekend in Marlboro. Coming in 2nd place in a field of 9. They lost the championship game 1-0 on Sunday. Nice Job!

Congratulations to the PYH Mite B team for their big tournament win this weekend at the Cranberry Cup Tournament ...Click here for the details.
