PVAHA Announcement Regarding 2020–2021 Tryouts

We hope our Bowie Hockey Club families stay safe and healthy during the temporary closure of the Bowie Ice Arena in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Bowie Ice Arena remains closed until Friday, March 27th but based on the recent information provided today by the Maryland Government to close all nonessential Maryland businesses, we don't anticipate the rink to reopen in March. We hope the rink reopens soon but just have to wait and follow the recommendations/guidelines of local, state and federal governments as well as USA Hockey.

The health and safety of our families and the rink staff are extremely important and we will not restart our spring hockey programs until it is safe to do so.

We will provide updates via email, our website and social media pages.

Thank you and please stay safe and healthy,

CONGRATULATIONS to 10U Red players and coaches as they are 2020 CCHL Joe Loschiavo Memorial Cup 10U Division IV Playoff CHAMPIONS!

3 on 3 Spring Hockey is a unique hockey experience for boys and girls. "3 on 3" is a high tempo, skills-based game on a smaller ice surface that creates a much faster-paced game that gives players more opportunities to handle the puck and faster decision making abilities. Each player will receive a significant amount of ice time and improved development in all aspects of the game of hockey. The cost is $250 for 9 sessions and free for goalies.

Our goal for Spring is to have 36-44 skaters and 4 goalies per age group. Registration is based on first come/first serve basis and goalies must have been registered as a goalie on a CBHL or CCHL team for 2019-2020 season.
