AHA have announced changes to this year's youth competition format. The youth grade will ONLY be played on Sunday morning (no more Friday nights). Once teams are registered there will be grading rounds and then competition rounds in divisions based on ability.

Also you need to be 16 or under on 1st January 2025. There will be the possibility of exemptions for players 16 or over and still at school, based on ability and experience.

If you are NOT under 16 you should consider attending divisional trials; please look at the senior page of the website and register through this. Youth trials are after divisional trials so there is still that option for you.

AHA have not yet confirmed all details, and we expect some of you will have questions and may be looking for further guidance. If so, please email John Williams at somervilleyouthhockey@gmail.com

On Friday the Senior club came together at Sorrento’s in Cornwall Park to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of the 2024 season.

We had record attendance this year with 168 guests.

Doors opened at 6pm, starting with the teams awards at 7pm, breaking for dinner half way through, then finishing with the club awards. The dance opened once the formalities finished, that saw endless requests for DJ Rick, and some interesting dance moves.

Congratulations everyone, and well done on a great season. Hope to see you all next year.
