Acton-Boxboro Youth Hockey Association

 Hello Rangers,

This is the Rangers team page on www.abyha.org.  Here you will find notes or messages from the coaches periodically.

Welcome to the Rangers.  The Rangers are largely a "kid-coached" team where my son, Eddie, and a couple other siblings of players, coach the team.  This means that they will do the pregame and post game talks, award stars of the game and stay very involved with the kids while on the ice.  (This by no means that an adult won't be present at all times, we will be there!)

Our experience with the players over the last couple seasons of utilizing this approach have yielded excellent results.  The players respond very well to this approach and I believe that they relate better to someone closer to their own age than "just another parent" telling them what to do.  We make it fun for the kids.  Watch the interaction between the players and young coaches.  We cannot attain that as adults.

If there are any questions or concerns at any point in time, feel free to contact me.  I do want any concerns coming to me, not the "kid-coaches".

Lastly, if there are cancelations of practices or games for any reason, you should receive an email and you should be able to see the information in a notice here.

Welcome to the Rangers.  This will be a wonderful season!!
