Girls Development Program
***New*** We are sorry to say that both the Aug 9th 16U and the Aug 2nd 10U/12U/14U evaluations have been postponed due to Covid rink closure.
***New*** Did you miss our AGM? If so, here are the meeting recording and the slides.
OVERVIEW - TWO PROGRAMS
For those new to our club, we run a Girls Development Program (GDP) and Girls House Program (GHP).
OVERVIEW - GIRLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
We're psyched to announce our Girls Dev Program for the 2020-21 season. Our teams will be skating primarily at Sherwood Ice Arena in Sherwood (16U) and Winterhawks Skating Center in Beaverton (10/12/14U).
Our Dev program will depend on two big factors. The first is COVID-19. Enough said. The other factor is meeting minimum registration numbers. In other words, if we don't get enough players signed up for an individual team, we will unfortunately re-allocate the ice to another team (boo!). But hopefully that won't happen because you will all register in July (hurray)!
OVERVIEW BY TEAM:
Our Intent Registration for 10U, 12U, and 14U is now open. Evals are early morning on Aug 2 at WSC. Players will receive an email with their Eval time (due to covid-related restrictions on number of players on the ice).
16U Tier 2 Team
Player Responsibilities: All athletes are required to bring full gear (including mouth guards) and register with USA Hockey for the 2020-21 season when appropriate.
Scholarships & Payment: Like every season, we offer installment payment programs to reduce some of the financial barriers to hockey. We also offer scholarships based on financial need & other considerations. Click here for our Scholarship Application, which is due Sep 1, 2020. There's additional financial aid being offered this season from the Portland Jr Winterhawks Board of Directors. To learn more, email Jason Vaillancourt, PJW VP, at jason.vaillancourt@oregonstatehockey.com.
Gear - Every season we offer free loaner gear to any player who needs it. This includes helmet, stick, and skates. Watch our website for Gear Issue day which normally takes place a few days before the first skate of your season. (TIP: Once your girl is "into" hockey, the first two items you should buy are skates and helmet. Buying these two fitted items will be more comfortable.)
Technical Difficulties w/ Registration: Contact our Secretary Maggie Mellon at maggie@rosecityhockeyclub.com.
How to Stay Informed: The best way to stay informed about all RCHC programs is to subscribe to our newsletter. Click here, scroll down, and sign up. You can also follow us on FB, Instagram, and Twitter.

***New*** We are sorry to say that both the Aug 9th 16U and the Aug 2nd 10U/12U/14U evaluations have been postponed due to Covid rink closure.
- We believe rinks will be closed while Washington County is in Phase 1, so at this point we do not have a reschedule date.
- Intent registration site will remain open. Click here to register.

OVERVIEW - TWO PROGRAMS
For those new to our club, we run a Girls Development Program (GDP) and Girls House Program (GHP).
- GDP is ideal for competitive athletes interested in tournament play. They will participate in Evaluations and, if selected, do dryland training, chalk talks/video reviews, and travel tournaments.
- GHP is ideal for new or recreational-level athletes intent on skill building. There are no Evaluations or tournaments in this program, but there are options for local friendly games and frequent scrimmages. More here.
- Both programs follow USA Hockey guidelines with an emphasis on high puck touches, small-area games, and age-appropriate drills.

OVERVIEW BY TEAM:
- 10U, 12U and 14U Girls Development Program (GDP)
- 14U Head Coach: Claire Houx-Schaeffer
- 12U Head Coach: Matt Cano
- 10U Head Coach: Robin Willins
- Contact Info: Click here for your coaches email address.
- Primary Practice Rink: WSC. (May change due to covid limitations on the number of players allowed to skate at one time.)
- New Approach: Our 10U, 12U, and 14U program this year will enable growth in our more experienced players, while giving choice in whether they want to also participate in tournaments. Interested players MUST attend our 10U, 12U, 14U Evals on Aug 2nd. Those selected from these Evals will be eligible to sign up for the Skills and Compete sessions (ice time and dry land). RCHC will run this program in partnership with Winterhawks Jr Hockey. GDP tournament teams will be selected out of this group after the season starts (likely in the fall), so there is no commitment to tournaments up front as part of these Evals.
- Evaluations: Early morning Aug 2, 2020. To participate in Evals, all players must register in our "Intent Registration." Doing so expresses your "intent" to commit to 18 on-ice sessions in WJH's female Skills and Compete program. Tournament teams will then be selected from the S&C pool of players later in the season. (Can't make Evals? Email your coach. Contact info here.)
- Evaluation Time Slot: Registered players will receive their specific ice time in advance via email (due to the covid-related restrictions on numbers of players skating at once). No walk-ins allowed.
- *** Intent Registration is OPEN*** $15. Click here to sign up. If you have technical problems registering your player, please email our Secretary, Maggie Mellon, at maggie@rosecityhockeyclub.com.
- Individual Team Registrations: Will open to players selected for the travel team roster right before the team's first tournament or friendly scrimmage (in the fall). Scholarship & installment payment info below.
- Full or part-time team? Part-time. 10U, 12U, and 14U players must also skate in another hockey program like our Girls House Program (Sat mornings at SIA.)
- Overview: Players selected from Evaluations will register for the female session of the WJH Skills and Compete program. Prior to the first tournament, players will be selected for a travel roster. They will then register with us to attend up to 3 tournaments over the course of the season, plus weekly dryland training/chalk talks and one team-specific pre-tournament practice (per tourney). [Please note: Our 10U GDP team may only attend 1 or 2 tournaments and include limited number of pre-tourney practices. More to come (we promise) on the scope of this particular team.]
Our Intent Registration for 10U, 12U, and 14U is now open. Evals are early morning on Aug 2 at WSC. Players will receive an email with their Eval time (due to covid-related restrictions on number of players on the ice).
16U Tier 2 Team
- Head Coach: Court Carnes
- Primary Practice Rink: SIA (with some travel to Eugene).
- Evaluations: Aug 9, 2020 from 1:15pm - 2:30pm at SIA. No walk-ins allowed due to covid-related restrictions. Arrive 45 min early to check in & receive a numbered jersey.
- 16U Intent Registration: $15. Click here to register.
- 16U Team Registration: Opens after Evals for players selected for the team.
- Eligibility: We encourage players from across Oregon in birth years 2004-2005 to attend. Athletes in birth years 2006 and 2007 may participate in our 16U Evaluations. To be selected, however, they must be deemed among the best on the ice compared to their 2004-2005 counterparts.
- Full or part-time team? Full time.
- Overview: This will be a full-time travel team with 25-30 games across the season. Players will also participate in dryland training and attend 4-6 tournaments. The team will skate two nights a week in Portland, and also have practices / games a few times a month in Eugene. Players from outside of Portland are absolutely welcome & will participate in the weekend Eugene practices & tourneys. The Board of Directors & coaching staff are jazzed about this nationally-bound team & the talented athletes who'll be on it!
Player Responsibilities: All athletes are required to bring full gear (including mouth guards) and register with USA Hockey for the 2020-21 season when appropriate.
Scholarships & Payment: Like every season, we offer installment payment programs to reduce some of the financial barriers to hockey.
