LIHA Teams Join NHL

No, not that NHL, but we are happy to announce that LIHA, Fremont, Kearney and the Omaha Gladiators are joining forces to create the Nebraska Hockey League. While this NHL won't make any of our players millions of dollars like that other NHL could, it will provide a fun and competitive environment for our Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam house teams to play teams from other associations.

What is the Nebraska Hockey League? The NHL is a league made up of the Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam house teams from LIHA, Fremont, Kearney and Omaha Gladiators. The house teams in each of these divisions will play each other in a 10 game schedule followed by an end of the year state championship tournament for each level.

Where will NHL games be played? Games will be played in Lincoln, Fremont, Omaha and Kearney. To minimize travel, most teams will play back to back away games, so players will only be playing games out of town a few weekends per season.

When will NHL games be played? All NHL games will be held on Saturdays or Sundays. Representatives from each association are currently working on a schedule and we hope to have the finalized schedule within the next week or so.

Who will be in the NHL? All LIHA Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam house teams will be a part of the league, as well as the Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam house teams from Fremont, Kearney and the Gladiators.

What will the NHL Cost? There will not be any additional fees to play in the NHL. The cost of the ice time for NHL games is covered by your LIHA registration fees.

Why is LIHA a part of the NHL? If you have ever been a part of a house league that only had two or three teams, you know that playing the same team week after week isn't much fun. The NHL insures that all of our house players will have plenty of competition. At the same time, we believe that the NHL will provide a boost to player development by exposing our teams to teams and players from other associations. We firmly believe that the NHL is good for our players and good for our association. At the same time, we recognize that change can be hard. We are focused on keeping house teams "house teams." While the NHL will result in our house players playing games at other facilities, we don't believe it will involve significantly more travel than when our LIHA teams played friendship games with Kearney or against other house teams in the Cornhusker State Games Hockey Tournament (which, unfortunately, no longer exists). While these were great experiences for our players, they weren't consistent from year to year and the responsibility for arranging these games largely fell on our already busy volunteer coaches. By creating a formalized house league between Lincoln, Fremont, Kearney and Omaha, we can provide regular games between the associations that will continue from year to year.

Why aren't the Mites included in the NHL? We don't want to put the emphasis on games for our Mite players. However, the NHL associations will be hosting mite and possibly mini-mite jambories throughout the year so that these players will get the opportunity to play other teams as well.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns about the NHL, don't hesitate to contact me.
