Hi Park City Ice Miners! It has been a very busy month and we have accomplished a lot. Here are some organization-wide reminders and updates:

CONGRATULATIONS ELLA BYNAN!

The PCIM would like to congratulate former Park City Ice Miner, Ella Bynan, for committing to play NCAA Division III ice hockey for Hood College beginning in 2024-2025. We can't wait to follow your collegiate career!

NECK GUARDS

The Park City Ice Miners continue to highly recommend the use of all protective equipment including neck guards and cut-resistant sleeves, pants, socks, etc. USA Hockey will address a potential rule change proposal as early as their January board meeting and we will be following the outcome of this meeting closely.

Just a reminder that cell phones are PROHIBITED from locker rooms at all times. Please remind your player that PCIM has a zero-tolerance policy for cell phones in locker rooms.
