New Richmond Youth Hockey Association

Welcome to the New Richmond Youth Hockey Association Web site.  Our youth hockey association provides boys and girls in the New Richmond, Wisconsin area the opportunity to participate in the great sport of ice hockey.

The NRYHA Board would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete the year-end survey. We recognize there are things we can improve on, and we appreciate the input and feedback. We will take the input as we prepare for the upcoming season. It should also be noted that we increased the number of responses this year and our hope is to continue to increase this every year.

As we prepare for the upcoming season, we hope that those who have refereed in the past will be returning again this season. We have heard that there are several people considering becoming certified, and we are hoping to recruit additional refs for the season and years to come. A link to the Wisconsin Hockey Officials Association (WHOA) site listing upcoming seminars is listed below:

Please note that there is a seminar offered in River Falls on October 21st. If you are interested, we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible as the clinics fill up quickly.

Ryan Kelly has been appointed by the NRYHA BOD to serve as the ref scheduler for the season. We ask that all interested and all returning refs send an email to Ryan: ryankellynr@gmail.com

Please include your contact information (email and cell), the level you are certified to ref, and if you are new, please let Ryan know what seminar you will be registering for. Please feel free to reach out to Ryan with any questions.

We are looking forward to a great season and we appreciate your consideration in returning or joining our team of referees!

The GOAL Program

Interested in learning to SKATE and PLAYING HOCKEY for FREE?
Then the NRYHA’s Get Out And Learn (GOAL) program is the answer. The GOAL Program gives kids in our community an opportunity to learn how to skate and experience hockey for FREE. The program provides equipment for each player and provides 4 practice times with experienced instructors.

The GOAL Program is a great way to introduce your child to a game loved my millions, and without having to invest tons of money.

Don’t know how to skate? No problem.
One of the goals of the program is to help kids learn to skate. The program provides instructors on the ice to help kids learn the basics of skating. The on-ice sessions are designed to help your child learn to skate with fundamental drills. The program also incorporates plenty of games that promote fast learning techniques while having fun.

Don’t have any hockey equipment? No problem.
The GOAL Program also promotes the experience of hockey by providing shin pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, pants, gloves, helmet, equipment bag, and a stick for FREE. Participants just need to provide skates.

Want to experience hockey RISK FREE? No problem.
The program allows kids and parents to experience hockey for FREE in a fun atmosphere. All kids dress in full equipment during the on-ice sessions to allow them to feel like real hockey players.

If after 4 weeks you and your child fall in love with the game and want to experience more, there is an opportunity to register for our in-house hockey program.
