CONGRATULATIONS 2007-2008 SYHA S.K.A.T.E Players

On February 7, 2008 during the SHS Boys' Varsity hockey game nearly 80% of eligible SYHA hockey players were recognized for their academic excellence during the hockey season.  The SYHA had a 30% increase in students who qualified for S.K.A.T.E this year as compared to the 2006-2007 season. 

Hockey season is a busy time for the student athlete.  Balancing school, hockey, and other committments can be challenging.  SHYA extends a heartfelt congratulations to these student athletes in recognition of their academic achievement!

 

SYHA S.K.A.T.E. wishes to thank our generous 2007-2008 program sponsors!

This year the Shakopee Hockey Association is proud to partner with Minnesota Hockey Journal and offer our players the opportunity to participate in the S.K.A.T.E. (Skaters Keep Achieving through Education) program.  This program is meant to recognize and reward the efforts of student athletes who play hockey.   

All hockey players on U10, U12, Squirt, PeeWee and Bantam are eligible to sign-up for the S.K.A.T.E. program by e-mailing Nancy Scott at wheel197@umn.edu.   By signing up for the S.K.A.T.E. program the student athlete is committing to work towards a G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher during the 1st semester or 2nd quarter of the 2008-2009 academic year.  

If the student athlete obtains a 3.0 G.P.A. or higher for the 1st semester or 2nd quarter they are qualifiers and become eligible to win awards and are entered in a statewide sweepstakes presented by Minnesota Hockey Journal.  Special Education students may qualify with a letter from their case manager stating they showed above average performance.
