2016-2017 Season
October 2016
North Devils Families!
The North Devils Hockey Season is officially underway! From Tony Kent to Driscoll to Thayer, our North Devils have been seen all over the map! The energy and enthusiasm of our players and parents shines through in great FACEBOOK photos and fantastic online team write ups! Our teams have gotten off to a great start with lots of W’s in all divisions.
I want to thank our parents for your support and commitment in getting the players to the practices both on and off ice. It has definitely paid off as we enter the season against some tough SNEHC and Yankee teams.
We know that everyone is anxious to be in our new home, the New England Sports Village. Work is progressing daily and the rink opening will be here before we know it. Right now, they are looking at a target date of October 31st. We will be sure to keep you updated and we know that once we are in our new rink that we will never need to look back! Hockey life WILL BE GOOD! Follow the New England Sports Village on Twitter @nesportsvillage Facebook New England Sports Village and Instagram @nesportsvillage See the latest pictures, get updates, and find out everything you want to know about the Village!
Read on for some more hockey updates and please always know that you may reach out to me at anytime with questions or concerns.
SCHEDULES
I cannot thank you enough for your patience with the game schedules. Due to the delay of the rink opening and realignments made by the league, there have been several schedule changes. At this moment, all recent schedule changes are complete. You may see a few remaining TBD’s which will be filled in upcoming weeks. Please continue to check the NORTH DEVILS website as this is the most accurate source of schedule information. The SNEHC site does not always have the updated info, so please refer to our website. There will continue to be a few changes made but changes should be slowing down. Please be sure to check your new schedules! Thank you everyone again and again.

As many of our families already know, the North Devils Program raises money and more importantly, awareness, through it’s CANNING events held each season. Players and parents are asked to donate 2 hours of their time to collect donations for our program. The funds collected help to offset primarily the cost of the End Of Year Banquet but it helps in other ways as well. We generally utilize local Dunkin Donuts and grocery stores for this activity. Players wear their North Devils uniforms, bring their smiles and they have FUN! It is a nice way to meet people in the community and let them know of the youth hockey opportunity we provide.
We are utilizing this SIGN UP GENIUS for you to sign up directly online. This will help us immensely in tracking, and save hours and hours of time setting up schedules. You will select your own desired location and time. Please keep game schedules in mind, when selecting your time slot. As the date approaches, details will be provided, regarding what to do with money, what to wear, etc. For now, sign up quickly to get your desired time!
If you opted out of the canning activity upon registration and made payment of the requested $50.00, please disregard. All players otherwise, are expected to sign up for a shift. Please check your game schedules prior to signing up for canning.
There will be more dates and times added as the year goes on, so if you are unable to register for one of these dates don't worry - you will have more opportunities. To Register please go to :
