The Park City Ice Miners select Youth Hockey Association's mission is to provide a competitive Hockey environment with advanced coaching and play for all selected members of the team. Every child, through their participation in the program, can enjoy a positive, character building sports experience while creating a passion for the game.

 

Ice Miners Select youth hockey Association believes that through the development of every individual, the collective team benefits from the resulting depth, diversity, and cohesion. This produces a level of confidence that brings success in the competitive hockey environment. 

 

Emphasis will always be placed upon education, personal development, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The individual conduct of board members, coaches, players, and parents will be maintained to ensure a positive culture in which all can honor the sport, and exemplify an organization in which to be proud of.

 

Teams

Park City Ice Miners organization offers this Select program for the following age divisions; Squirt (U10), Peewee (U12), Bantam (U14). This program is designed for players who have the desire and ability to play at a challenging level of competition. The tryout process for the Select team begins in April with a follow up tryout in May.  Members of the organization will determine the selection of the players.  The Select Director will oversee all player selections.  Because this program was designed to promote Select Hockey in The Park City area, Park City residents will have priority over players coming from other surrounding areas.   

 

All players must understand and accept that the coach may not give all players an equal amount of playing time and that decisions about playing time are at the sole discretion of the coaching staff and are based on commitment, attitude, attendance to practices and games and quality of play. The coaches agree as a team either prior or during a game if someone shall be played more or less.  

 

Team Philosophy

Park City Ice Miners Select Youth Hockey Association believes that the foundations of a strong team are camaraderie and mutual respect.  Every coach and team member should treat every other coach and team member with respect, dignity and common decency.  Bullying, abusive behavior and foul language will not be tolerated in the locker rooms or on the ice.  Good sportsmanship and clean hard play are basic expectations of a Select Player.
