Prescott Valley Youth Hockey Association (PVYHA) Jr. Sundogs Program

 
The PVYHA Jr. Sundogs will field three teams separated into three age groups (Squirt – 10 and under, Pee Wee – 12 and under and Bantam – 14 and under) to compete in the Sonoran Youth Hockey League during the 2008-09 season. PVYHA teams will compete in the ‘B’ division and will play a total of 20 games during the season, ten at home at Tim’s Toyota Center in Prescott Valley and ten on the road at rinks primarily in the Phoenix area. The PVYHA will also include the Prescott Storm High School Varsity and Junior Varsity programs, but those teams will be governed by the Arizona High School Hockey Association (AHSHA). All players, regardless of age group, must be registered through USA Hockey.
