CCHC acknowledges its outstanding coaching staff: We now have 8 USAH "Level 4" coaches.
The CCHC board of directors would like to acknowledge our coaching staff for their commitment and dedication to the players and the Capital families. For any of you that are not aware, the on-ice staff here at CCHC like all our staff are volunteers. They often have a thankless job but in reality perform our heavy lifting, sometimes four times a week.
We would also like to point out that as of this season CCHC has 8 of its 21 on-ice staff certified through USA Hockey at “Level 4”. All of our coaches are certified by USA Hockey but these L4 coaches have gone above and beyond in their efforts to provide their players with the best hockey education possible. Level 4 is not a requirement for them.
So to all our coaches, from the CCHC family, thank you. Keep up the great work.

Annual Red Bandanna Skate announced: See the flyer for details.
The Welles Remy Crowther Red Bandanna Skate is an ice hockey game held as an annual tribute to Welles Crowther a 9/11 hero. The game is designed to bring some of Welles’ former teammates and special guests of all skill levels together to play a charity hockey game in remembrance of Welles, have fun and raise funds for the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust.
Welles Crowther was a 1995 graduate of Nyack High School and a varsity lacrosse, soccer, and hockey player and captain for the Indians. He was also a 1999 graduate of Boston College and a varsity lacrosse player for the Eagles. Welles Crowther traded equities for Sandler O’Neill at the World Trade Center. Welles was also a member of the Empire Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1, in Upper Nyack, New York. On September 11 when the attacks on the World Trade Center began, Welles was no longer an equities trader. He became a firefighter. Months after September 11, Welles’ heroic acts came to light. Welles Crowther used the last hour of his life to save others. Welles used his red bandanna, one which he always carried in his back pocket, to cover his nose and mouth as protection against smoke and debris while he directed others to safety.
The Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust was established by the Crowther family to honor their son’s memory through good works benefiting young people. The Trust recognizes young people who serve their communities through annual gifts and special awards and also supports nonprofit organizations. To learn more about Welles’ story and the works of the Trust please visit www.crowthertrust.org.

All Squirt, PeeWee and Bantam aged players will take place in 2 hours worth of on-ice exhibition games. Our participation is key in helping Hope and Heroes to raise money through the event, however there is no cost associated with participation.

Of course no donations will be refused but they are not required. Take notice that Saturday April 25 is the CCHC commitment date following our week of tryouts, so most of us should be around that day. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Clarkstown Capitals Crowned NY State Champions!!!
Saranac Lake, NY: This weekend, the Clarkstown Capitals, with its long history of annually qualifying teams for the NY State Tier III hockey tournament, returned home from the grueling three day tournament featuring NY States finest qualifying hockey teams as State Champions of the Pee Wee U-12 Division!! The Capitals went 4-1 overall and defeated host Lake Saranac in the semi-final and then avenged an earlier loss to Niagara by beating them 4-1 in the final to take the state title. As NY State Champion, the Capitals move on to the Tier III Northeast Regional U-12 Tournament held this year in East Hartford on March 21 -23 competing against 7 other state champions from Maine to Pennsylvania. I am so proud of how our kids played and responded to the bigger Upstate teams. They proved they can play with anyone and we cant wait for the opportunity to prove ourselves again at Regionals, said head coach Eddie Varmon.
In fact, the Capitals sent two teams this year to the big upstate dance with their Squirt team reaching the Final Four of their U-10 division tournament in Syracuse, NY. This marked the 7th consecutive year the Capitals organization, led by President Mickey Carroll, have had at least one team qualify for the NY States year-end showcase tournament. Over that span, 16 Capitals teams have reached States with their 2003 Bantam U-14 their other NY State Champion and runner up in the Northeast Regional.
We are very proud of the achievements of these two teams and the organization as whole. The hard work and determination of the players and their coaching staffs has really shined through, said Carroll. Our coaches are second to none and they really prepare the kids all season long with reaching the States as their final goal. Year over year they get the payers to achieve the goals they set for themselves with this year being just another example for their hard work!
The Clarkstown Capitals is a travel hockey organization with the Palisades Mall Rink as its home arena.

Helmet recall notice!
December 5, 2008
Dear USA Hockey member,
Reebok has recalled a number of helmets that were shipped from their distribution center between June 1, 2008, and July 16, 2008. Please take a moment to read the note from Reebok below and also click on the link from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission with specifics as to exactly which helmets fall under the recall.
All questions regarding this matter should be directed to Reebok's customer service department at 1-800-451-4600.
Regards,
The USA Hockey Team
December 4, 2008 (Montreal, QC) On December 2, the Consumer Product Safety Commission released a recall notice, in the United States, on a number of RBK and CCM hockey helmets. The recall pertains to an issue that first came to our attention during the summer. In July, we alerted all affected retailers of the possibility they had received some helmets that did not fully comply with a relevant chin strap standard. We discovered in our internal testing that a helmet component that did not fully meet our internal quality control standards had made it into a small quantity of finished goods. We knew that the potentially affected helmets shipped from our distribution center between the limited period of June 1, 2008, and July 16, 2008. Therefore, we initially only contacted those retailers that received shipments during that period. At that time we asked the retailers that were possibly affected to check their inventory and return to us any helmets that matched the serial number pattern described in the recall notice. This process enabled us to retrieve and repair a large percentage of the affected helmets.
Any consumer that has a helmet described by the CPSC recall notice should return to the store where they purchased the helmet. If the store had not been contacted by Reebok-CCM over the summer, it means that they did not receive any of the potentially affected helmets. If the retailer was part of the initial recall effort over the summer and the helmet has a serial number that matches those described by the recall notice, the helmet will be replaced free of charge.
We apologize for any inconvenience this recall may cause. The safety of our customers is our highest priority. Should you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-451-4600 if you are located in the USA, or 1-800-636-5895 if you are located in Canada.
USA Hockey online registration: CCHC will be requiring all players to register with USA Hockey on their own. This has traditionally been done by our administrative staff in the past. However USA now offers this service online so we will be requiring all players or their parents to register on their own. Registration is a requirement of USA Hockey and players can not participate in CCHC activities until proof of registration has been received. Please visit the USA Hockey website to complete the registration process. Once you receive your confirmation number, that number must be supplied to CCHC. You may mail the confirmation page the the CCHC PO Box or you may email it to our registrar Ellis Gitlin.
CCHC is again pleased to endorse Tommy Gross and Pro Scout Hockey clinics: Tommy will be putting on a week long 15 hour summer clinic in late July. You can get more details and the clinic signup flyer here.
