8U Black Champions of the Beach
It is finally here, opening weekend of the 2020-2021 CBHL Season. After dealing with so much through the Spring, Summer, and Fall, some sense of normality has returned to the hockey universe! Bulldog Nation had a FANTASTIC opening weekend to include a trophy and team medals coming back to Western Maryland, specifically Hub City.
Football Mania
Keep selling those tickets! This is a fantastic opportunity to help HYHA and ultimately the community, in providing the experience of youth hockey to a few families who would otherwise be excluded due to finances. We have decided to do a club wide fundraiser to raise $4000, the approximate cost for 2 full season registration fees at the highest level, currently we have only raised $2,149. The fundraiser is called CharityMania. Here is the website to our fundraising page: https://www.charitymania.com/give/ca01a. What we ask of the membership; Sell 5 tickets/family @ $10 per ticket - that's it! For every ticket sold, we retain 70% of the price. Each ticket is worth one entry in 10 consecutive weeks, ultimately giving you the chance to win 10 times with each ticket!
IMPORTANT DATES:
Tickets may still be sold but they will now only be good for 9 weeks instead of the full 10 weeks. Again, if you win just one week, you will more than pay for the entire ticket. So keep selling those tickets!
November 29th - final tickets can be sold (note - game cards not eligible any week prior to activation but are eligible for remaining weeks and the grand prize).
The best part, you have a 1 in 17 chance of winning! Jenn will have paper tickets to hand out to each team, but family and friends are welcome to also order online at the link provided above (they can pay online and receive an electronic ticket to print out).

October saves
Founded in 2014 in Ashburn, VA, The October Saves Goalie Challenge is a 501 (c) (3) organization that began in 2014 when a group of 28 goalies in the Ashburn Xtreme Hockey Club wanted to find a way to support their mothers, grandmothers, family & friends who were fighting cancer. Goalies collect pledges & donations for every save that they make in the month of October. Over $800,000 has been raised through 90,000 saves. Visit www.octobersaves.org or follow along on Instagram @octobersaves or Facebook for more information. This season, due to Covid-19, it will be a little different than last season, so please go to the website for more information.
Bulldog Goalies, please sign up for "October Saves". This is a fantastic fundraiser for the "Fight Against Cancer". It is FREE to register and entire teams can come together and fundraise for their goalies! There are National, Regional, and Bulldog prizes for top fundraisers.

Bulldogs answered a minute and two seconds later evening the game back up at 1. Early in the second period, Sabres took the lead again on a short-handed goal. Bulldogs shook it off and netted another goal evened up the game at 2. Before the end of the second period the Bulldogs put in another goal to take the lead and never look back.

14U LA Shutout Freeze
Saturday evening, instead of Trick or Treating, the 14U LA Dawgs, in a “Battle of Western Maryland”, took on the Frederick Freeze.

10U LA hold off Frederick for the win
The Bulldogs traveled to Frederick to open league play. After a scoreless 1st period, Bulldogs struck first. Frederick tied it up with 3 min left in the 2nd to a 1-1 tie heading into the 3rd period. Our Bulldogs showed some grit, won the puck battles and netted the next 3 goals. Frederick didn't back down and slipped 2 goals within the last 5 minutes to a 4-3 score. A final flurry by Frederick in front of the Bulldog net was stopped with outstanding goaltending and defense. Leyton Parry earned the Hard Worker Bone for his tremendous work in net. Next week 10U LA plays Montgomery in their home opener
Mites Travel to Beach Bash
Both of our 8U Dawgs teams traveled to Ocean City, Maryland for the Annual Mite Beach Bash. This fantastic skill developing Mites Tournament is always fun early get away and taste of travel hockey for the 8U teams. Both of our teams showed extremely well, with our 8U Black Team bringing home the Championship trophy! Both teams should be very proud of their weekend, where they showed that their skills are continuing to develop and they are progressing as players and as teams on and off the ice.

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.
