Dave Herrick expresses to the TGHA membership: "The Adult Education sessions are an opportunity for TGHA to support the efforts of our parents and to share the expectations for personal conduct. In general, the players, coaches, parents and fans of TGHA are a respectful and sportsman-like group. We’ve been fortunate to have such self-disciplined adults who refrain from displaying many of the negative emotions that can degrade our hockey experience. So, our focus during the AE sessions is to encourage our continued positive behaviors and to provide parents with some age appropriate hockey information. It is also a great opportunity to receive your questions and comments as we cross into the second half of our season."

Our governing organizations (USA Hockey and NYSAHA) are committed to Adult Education.  They provide associations like TGHA with resources---and with a mandate to participate---for the education of  parents and other adults who support the girls in our programs. 

This year there will be four sessions offered over three days (Jan. 26, 27 and 28) adjacent to practices.  The content will be tailored to the adult's players' ages and hockey level, but if you need to attend a different one due to scheduling issues, that is fine, too.  One adult from every family is expected to attend one 20-30 minute session.  We hope it will be worthwhile for you to spend this time with Mary and Dave, this year's TGHA co-presidents. Please ask us questions before, during or after the session.  Thanks for your anticipated cooperation with this request for meeting attendance.
