[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYHA has two 12U and 14U girls teams at each age, so that probably helps if coming down to tryout.

Their 12U Blue team is a wagon…👀[/quote]

As someone with a 16U daughter who has plenty of experience in local girls hockey, the only warning I would give is that I generally hear very, very positive things about the directors of the girls programs across the DMV. We are lucky to have such a dedicated bunch across clubs. I have rarely (maybe never?) heard anything positive about the MYHA girls director. Take that for whatever it is worth.[/quote]

He develops tough, aggressive players. There. Now you’ve heard something positive. [/quote]

My daughter played MYHA at 8U. There were occasionally fun, all skill level jamborees for girls from all over the DMV and he would coach. Some of these teams were filled with 5 year old LTP players, some had travel players, but it was just a good fun time for everyone. On both of the jamborees we did he screamed at the players on our team and encouraged them to run up the score on other teams. Not just other good teams - run up the score on teams where the players looked like they had only been skating for a couple months.

Parents on other teams were visibly concerned for our girls based on how he acted. The more experienced parents on our team said that was just his style but I found it gross. It wasn't a league game, wasn't playoffs - it was a free event to encourage girls to play hockey. Hearing a grown man scream at 6, 7, and 8 year olds does not make anyone in the rink on either team want to play more hockey. We moved to Reston the next season and have never looked back.[/quote]
