ABOUT BRIDGE YEARS:
Bridge year players (age divisions noted in bold typeset above) at 2012 can play either Rookies or Prospects…or both! Similarly, 2015 birth year players can stay at Mite level as well, but many would not prefer it, do that due to full ice. Players born on 2015, 2012, 2009 can all stay at the lower level or move up. August 1st they would all move up to older level. USA Hockey allows the spring and summer to play at their birth year designation.
MORE SCHEDULE COMING SOON!
ALL DATES & TIMES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
NYTEX will soon release the first half of the Spring Select Schedule for the convenience of immediate logistics planning. NYTEX will also finalize the back half of the schedule, however there are some NAHL and NA3HL Playoffs scheduling logistics that are needing to be finalized first. This critical piece of the puzzle should be in place in the very near future. During Spring Select 2023, NYTEX added several practice skates FREE for all Spring Select customers for an added value and appreciation of patience with the ice scheduling nuances.
