In Memoriam - Christian Yngve
The MYHA family is sad to note the passing of Christian Yngve.
Christian was the head of MYHA's Girls program from 2002-2009.
The following remembrance was posted by the Washington Pride Hockey program.
"We are heartbroken to pass along the news that beloved coach, mentor and friend Christian ‘Lillen’ Yngve has passed away. Christian spent many years in the Washington, DC area working with @pridehockeydc, and @montgomerybluedevils, impacting the lives of hundreds of local players and coaches. Christian served as the Head Coach for the Swedish Olympic Team, Head Coach for Spain's Women’s National Team, and led the Hong Kong National program. The hockey world lost a great human. We will miss you Christian, rest in peace big guy. ❤️"

It's About More Than Just Winning Games...
It takes a special individual to be a coach or a team manager and at MYHA, we are incredibly lucky to have such dedicated individuals giving up their time to shape our players into the amazing athletes and individuals that we see on and off the ice. As we look forward to the new season and feel that exciting new energy in the building, we want to highlight and celebrate the winners of our 2023-2024 MYHA Howard Cleveland Coach of the Year and Team Manager of the Year. These individuals went beyond their given roles to provide their players and parents an unforgettable season, one that we know they, along with the MYHA community, are grateful for their efforts.
Thank you to every single individual who coached, managed, and helped all of our teams across house, youth, and girls travel. Our program is the best because of you. We know each of you will undoubtedly again give it your all this upcoming season and we are grateful and fortunate for that.

MYHA Wins Big In Pittsburgh
The Montgomery Ice Devils' 10U Upper A Blue team emerged victorious at the recent Pittsburgh Columbus Day Clash tournament, showcasing their skill and determination in a highly competitive field. Facing off against formidable AA teams from Buffalo and Hamburg, New York, as well as the Potomac Patriots, the Ice Devils displayed unwavering commitment throughout the tournament.
Their journey began with a thrilling and hard-fought match against the Buffalo Regals Squirt Major AA team, where they secured a 2-1 victory. Building on this early success, the team went on to achieve back-to-back shutouts against the Potomac Patriots and the Hamburg Hawks Squirt Major AA teams, further solidifying their position as a dominant force in the tournament. The final match of the tournament was a true testament to their resilience, as they once again triumphed with a 2-1 win over the Buffalo Regals. This remarkable victory not only secured the championship but also underlined the Ice Devils' ability to perform under pressure and maintain their 12 game winning streak.
Congratulations to the Montgomery Ice Devils 10U Upper A Blue team and their dedicated coaching staff for their undefeated performance and remarkable achievement of allowing only two goals throughout the entire tournament. Their unwavering teamwork, skill, and sportsmanship were on full display, earning them well-deserved recognition and applause and we wish them continued success on the ice.
