Welcome to the season!

Hello CYH Families,

We want to officially welcome everyone to hockey season!  As we look forward to games and tournaments, we want to make sure we have information to everyone about our new registration process this year, as well as scholarship information and ad sales opportunities!  CYH has chosen to move to an on-line registration this year.  We hope this will simplify life for everyone, but there are always learning curves with new processes!  Please don’t hesitate to reach out for help to your manager or a board member if you need assistance.  EVERY Columbus Youth hockey player MUST register through this process.  

All this information is available at our website:  www.columbusyouthhockey.org. Please check it out!

For the registration process you will first need a USA Hockey number for the 18-19 season, then you will need to proceed to the CYH registration link.

You might have heard or seen the advertisements about the United Way fundraising campaign that is underway but did you know that you can donate money through the United Way campaign to Columbus Youth Hockey?  Contributions can not be used for team fees or specific activities within CYH at this time, however, your contribution will go into the CYH operational account which is spent advancing youth hockey in Columbus for the benefit of all members.  Many Bartholomew County employers offer payroll deduction pledges to United Way.   The United Way also accepts cash, check, and credit card donations from community members who are personally invested in providing opportunity for those in need.  When you give through United Way of Bartholomew County, 100% of your donation goes to the nonprofit organization or initiative of your choice.

For Cummins families, did you know that the Cummins Foundation matches your contribution dollar for dollar, with those matching funds going to United Way in your home county?  Be sure to use this link http://unitedway.cummins.com to get the matching funds.
