Although success at the team and individual level is important, SYHA places significant emphasis on the development of student -athletes of all level of abilities. SYHA promotes long-term athlete and child development by providing on-ice and off-ice training opportunities that allow each player to maximize his or her potential in a competitive learning environment, while providing lessons that allow them to excel in life. We believe very strongly in citizenship, sense of community and sportsmanship. 

Hello SYHA Families -

We hope this note finds you and yours well! 

Given the current governmental orders in place within the boundaries of Mid Am, the district board has chosen to suspend any on-ice tryout or group activities until May 15, 2020.  This date will continue to be monitored by the District as responses to the pandemic evolve and will be updated as necessary.

No other hockey activities (as delineated on page 142 of USA Hockey’s Annual Guide) are permitted until further notice from Mid Am and resulting from the return of free movement in our states permitted by the Governors of each of our states.

Individuals are able to access USA Hockey online coaching education, officiating education, SafeSport training or background screening as these become available for the 2020-21 season. For additional information on online education opportunities please go to usahockey.com.

As you may have seen, in response to confirmed cases of coronavirus in Ohio, the Shaker Heights Recreation Department is revising its programming schedule effective March 13 - April 30. This is part of the City's effort to combat the spread of coronavirus with social distancing protocols.

Accordingly, Spring Hockey Skills Clinics have been canceled (Mighty Mites, Mites, Squirts, PeeWees, Bantams) and the previously scheduled April tryouts for Peewees and Bantams will be postponed and rescheduled to a date after May 1, 2020. Check with Shaker Rec for a partial refund of any fees paid.

Once we hear from the City about any continuation of clinics or the rescheduling of tryouts, we will communicate that information.

Please be safe.
