The Herndon Hornets captured the RRHC High School Spring League Championship finishing off a 12-0 season with an exciting 3-2 win over the O'Connell Kinights. 

The margin of victory came on a penalty shot goal scored by Herndon's Sam Stone with just over 5 minutes left in regulation play.  

The Hornets' victory reversed a 6-5 shootout loss to the Knights in the 2008 Championship game.

The tryout fee can be paid by credit card online only. Players are encouraged to attend as many tryout sessions as possible, but players must attend half of the sessions in order to be selected for a team. If sessions are going to be missed, the absence must be communicated by sending an email to or notify the staff at the registration table. Players may request to only be considered for a particular team within an age level. (example: Player only wants to be considered for U18 Blue) If your player is injured and wants consideration they must be registered and pay the tryout fee online. There will be no walk – in registration allowed.  We will not accept any tryout registrations after May 8, 2009.  Any returning player must have all financial obligations with the club paid in full before taking the ice.  The travel director will randomly assign pinnie numbers to players and have tryout sheets completed before the first tryout. On the first night of skater tryouts all families will receive a contract which must be completed and returned upon check-in for night two of tryouts along with a $500 deposit. The deposit will be applied towards your team fees if your player is selected for a team.   If your player is not selected for one of our teams, the deposit will be returned or can be applied towards Fall House fees. If you choose to only be considered for a particular team (example: Only want to be considered for a Blue Team) and your player is not selected for that team, then the deposit will be returned as well. Age divisions that have more than 50 players registered will be broken into two smaller groups divided alphabetically by the registered players’ last names. (Sessions tentatively scheduled at the Squirt, Pee Wee & Bantam ages). Team selections will be announced on the club website within 48 hours of the conclusion of the last ice session.  Mites   There will be one Mite travel team. The Mites will be getting more ice time than any of our programs.  This provides an opportunity to maximize skill development. They will be playing in both House and Travel programs. · All players are required to play in the house league, and will be equally dispersed among the house teams. · They will attend 2 travel practices and 1 house practice per week. · They are expected to play in all travel games and attend any house games that do not conflict with the travel schedule. The player’s fees will reflect the increased ice time. The total fee for the Mite Blue team is $2250.00. This fee does not include any team assessments.   NOTE: Both Mite Development Teams will be selected in the Fall as part of our Mite House evaluation skate. The May tryouts are only for those families interested in being considered for the Mite Blue team.   Squirts               At the Squirt level the club intends to field three travel teams, dependent on the talent of players available.   ·         Squirt players will have two practices per week and a regular CBHL schedule of games.   The total fee for Squirts is $2100.  This fee does not include any team assessments.   Pee Wees   At the Pee Wee level the club intends to field three travel teams, dependent on the talent of players available. The teams will participate in the CBHL.   ·        Pee Wee players will have two practices per week and a regular CBHL schedule of games. ·        Pee Wee level hockey includes checking in the CBHL.   The total fee for Pee Wees is $2275. This fee does not include any team assessments.   Bantams   At the Bantam level the club intends to field three travel teams, dependent on the talent of players available. The teams will participate in the CBHL.   ·       Bantam players will have two practices per week and a regular CBHL schedule of games.   The total fee for Bantams is  $2275. This fee does not include any team assessments.   Midget U16s   At the Midget U16 level the club intends to field two travel teams, dependent on the talent of players available. The teams will participate in the CBHL.   ·        Midget U 16 players will have two shared practices per week through the beginning of the High School season. Following the start of High School Hockey, the teams will cut back to one shared practice per week, plus one full ice practice per month. The teams will play a regular CBHL schedule of games. In addition to their two practices per week during the first two months of the season, they will receive some additional full-ice practices.   ·        Practices for Midgets tend to be later in the evening.   The player’s fees reflect the amount of ice time used by the teams for practice and games. The total fee for U16s is $2150.  This fee does not include any team assessments     Midget U18s   At the Midget U18 level the club intends to field two travel teams, dependent on the talent of players available. The teams will participate in the CBHL.   ·        Midget U18 players will have two shared practices per week through the beginning of the High School season. Following the start of High School Hockey, the teams will cut back to one shared practice per week, plus one full ice practice per month.  The teams will play a regular CBHL schedule of games. In addition to their two practices per week during the first two months of the season, they will receive some additional full-ice practices.   ·        Practices for Midgets tend to be later in the evening.   The player’s fees reflect the amount of ice time used by the teams for practice and games. The total fee for U18s is $2150.  This fee does not include any team assessments     Girls U16, U14 and U12     The Raiders will expand their girls program this year and field three girls teams. The Girls U16 team will practice 2 times a week and play Tier I Level Hockey as part of the Mid-Atlantic Women’s Hockey Association (MAWHA). The player’s fees reflect the amount of ice time used by the teams for practice and games. The total fee for Girls U16 is $2275. This fee does not include any team assessments.   The Reston Raiders endeavor to field two additional Girls Travel Teams at the U12 and U14 level. While current numbers do not support fielding two teams, the final decision will be made at tryouts based on the numbers, skill and talent of players. The current expectation is to field one Girls U14 travel team that will play in the CBHL (with no requirement to play in the House league). The team fees for either team will be $2100.   If, by tryouts, there are enough travel ready U12 and travel ready U14 girls registered for and trying out for the teams, and if the Raiders can provide ice time for both teams, then the Raiders will offer travel teams at both the U12 and U14 levels.  This is the same policy used for all travel teams...If there is interest and if there is enough talent and if there is ice available, then the Raiders will offer all of those teams.    Questions regarding tryouts can be directed to the Club’s Travel Director, Kevin Burch at .

 

 

 

RESTON, VA – The Reston Raiders have been selected to serve as the host club for the 2010 USA Hockey National Championships for the Pee Wee (U12) Tier II (AA) division, USA Hockey’s National Tournament Director Norm Spiegel announced last week.

 

Following a lengthy bid process that produced more than 30 applicants, Reston, VA was selected as one of nine sites to host the event in what will be a new championship format for USA Hockey. After several years in which qualifying league champions advanced to District Tournaments to produce 12 national championship finalists, the 2010 games have been restructured to attract up to 48 teams, essentially one champion team from each state. The format eliminates the District Tournament thus creating a “super-series national,” capable of attracting as many as 3,000 players and fans to Fairfax County, VA.

 

The tournament will take place April 7-11, 2010. SkateQuest Reston will serve as the host facility with overflow action taking place at the Ashburn IceHouse. Each team will play three guaranteed games. 
Featured attractions include social events, a championship banquet and the Easton skills competition.   The Reston’s Pee Wee AA Raiders team will receive an automatic entry into the tournament as the host club.

 

“This is a great opportunity to put our program on the USA Hockey national radar screen,” said Raiders president Chris Kelly. “Our entire club will come together with the community to make this a truly first class event for visitors and participants alike.”

 

The bid was submitted as a joint venture incorporating the Raiders, Visit Fairfax (the destination marketing organization serving Fairfax County.) and the Falls Church, VA-based public relations and event management firm of Brotman•Winter•Fried Communication (BWF). Steve Winter, president of BWF and an assistant coach with the 2009 Raiders Bantam AA Tier II Team, will serve as tournament chairman.  

 

“We’re particularly thrilled to have played a role in securing these games for our county,” said Barry Biggar, President and CEO of Visit Fairfax.  “With our proximity to Washington, D.C. and all the great amenities Fairfax County has to offer, our destination provides the perfect venue for a national event.  Plus, there’s no better time to visit the Capital Region than springtime.”  Through their Amateur Hockey and Fan Development division, the Washington Capitals will also provide event support.  Depending on the team’s schedule and playoff status at that time, such benefits could include game tickets, the opportunity to watch the team practice and tours of their facility.

 

Tier II teams competing at the AA level will qualify for the 2010 national finals by virtue of winning league or state championships or qualifying tournaments, with the actual qualification format determined by each individual league. Qualifying teams could be determined as early as February 2010, with most decided by early March.

 

In addition to Reston, other cities awarded 2010 national championship tournaments include Green Bay, WI; Lansing, MI; Buffalo, NY; Woodridge, IL; Bensenville, IL; Wayne, NJ; West Chester, PA and Rochester, NY.
