2008-2009 DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPS | | Click to here see the summaries for each division. |
ABOUT THE LEAGUE The investment required to play ice hockey is somewhat surprising to most people. Unlike other sports in Alabama, facilities to play ice hockey are extremely limited. It requires a considerable investment to provide the ice, especially in the Southeastern United States. Ice time is currently rented from the Pelham Civic Complex, & the cost is divided equally among all league participants. Each player registered to participate will receive a team jersey, matching hockey socks, and ice time for both practice sessions and games.
If participation is desired and financial hardship is an issue, please discuss your situation with Pelham's Director of Hockey, Jeff Cheeseman, for possible alternatives. Pelham Youth Hockey League (PYHL) strives to provide a program that is accessible to any youth in the area interested in playing ice hockey. For additional info, please contact the Pelham Youth Hockey League at (205) 620-6448.
