Viewers of the live event will be able to ask Jonathan questions.  
 
 
Future webinars are being scheduled and will be announced via the CBHL Facebook page.  Upcoming speakers will address topics such as: girls hockey, perspectives from a graduated hockey mom, the life of a NHL off-ice official, insights from a newly-signed NHLer, officiating, social media awareness & safety, and more.

Tommy Oseneek, goalie for the 18U UA, has COMMITTED to East Carolina University, as part of the Class of 2024 and to play ACHA D2 Ice Hockey.

Tommy has been part of HYHA, on and off, for 6 years.  He recently returned during the 2017-2018 season to finish out his Midget years.

Tommy is an Honor Roll, Dual-Sport, Senior, at Tuscarora High School, who has a 3.5 GPA, and holds Varsity Letters for both Ice Hockey and Baseball.

Words from Tommy to Bulldog Nation:  “Work harder every day you get the opportunity to play this great game.  Listen to your coaches, never give up, you may be down a couple goals or may be having a bad practice, but as long as you work hard, good things will happen. You don’t have to be the best player, you have to be a good teammate and have good sportsmanship.  Coaches at all levels are looking for the kid that will go out of their way for the good of the team, not a kid with skill alone.”

Bulldog Testimonial

Just wanted to share what my son told me today. He played as the Firebirds goalie during our game Saturday morning.  I asked him how he enjoyed the tournament.  He said that the Hagerstown team was really nice. I asked him why and he said that your players always said something positive to him after he made a play.

I always try to remind him that the players on the other team are kids just like him, trying to learn, have fun and get better. Thank your coaches for the sportsmanship and positive comments displayed by your kids.
