2013-2014Needs For Both Programs U14 Girls- BYSA anticipates 7-8 U14 players registering, would like 3-4 more girls to create team true U14 age team. Bantams- After High School teams are selected, 5-6 Bantam skaters need placement for CVSA. Adding 5-6 skaters to existing BYSA Bantam numbers would help create ideal team sizes. U10/ U12 Girls- BYSA anticipates 7-8 U10 age girls wanting to enter Girls program, need 3-4 more girls to create team to allow girls to transition into Girls Program. Squirts- CVSA anticipates 18 players registering, difficult to develop this many players on one team.

Estimated 2013-2014 Budgets BYSA & CVSA Open Forum
2012-2013 Practice Schedule • BYSA rented 400 hours of ice at $175 per/hour • CVSA rented 239 hours of ice at $195 per/hour • Both BYSA & CVSA Returned 20 Hours of Ice These are the hours of ice time available. We believe that by utilizing both rinks, we can offer better ice times for each level, and not necessarily have to share ice times among various age groups. Example of a Practice Schedule for any Level ** Practice every other week X = Additional Ice time available BYSA & CVSA Open Forum
2012-2013 Registration Cost • BYSA Cost Includes Sponsorship Fee • BYSA/CVSA Cost Does Not Include USA Hockey Registration Fee $44 “Program Y” is another VT youth hockey program- for cost comparison purposes • Increase in Registration could provide funding for more practice time for all levels, as well as opportunities to offer hockey to more children in our communities.
