"This is always about low drama, low stress, development, and exposure. We are at many of the same events as well as some unique top level events that the others aren't invited to. We will ALWAYS look to play teams stronger than us. That is how everyone gets better. This is not about the scoreboard. It is about development and making every single player better in a fun, low stress, low drama environment." -Steve Silverman

CT JR EAGLES U16 & U19 INFORMATION
We are pleased to announce that WYHA’s CT Junior Eagles will once again be part of Connecticut Tier 1 Hockey. Our unique approach to how we run our Tier 1 teams has been very well received. There will be no major changes from our model that we have run over the last three years! We will continue to focus on player development, player exposure, and be 100% in sync with the players High School teams. We will remain “100% High School friendly” and focus on being highly competitive and getting the girls ready for their High School season!! School AWLAYS comes first!!
Our season will begin with a Tournament in June
We have not, and have no plans to attend any tournament that conflicts with School. We focus on letting the students be students and allowing time for kids to be able to relax on weekends. That is what make our model special and we will continue to operate that way.
All practices will be professionally run by IPH Hockey and ProCrease Goaltending. Remember our focus…………player development!! Practices will normally take place on Sunday mornings from the start of school through mid-November when we don’t have games. After that, we break for the girls High School seasons – depending on our success in Regionals we may pick up after.
Thank You – Steve Silverman
