Becker Big Lake Youth Hockey

Purpose
Skaters Keep Achieving Through Education (S.K.A.T.E.) was established to encourage, support and reward youth hockey players who commit themselves to their schoolwork while enjoying the sport of hockey. 

Goals
It is the goal of the Skaters Keep Achieving Through Education (S.K.A.T.E.) program to significantly increase awareness among youth hockey players that performance in the classroom is more important in life than performance on the ice. It is also a stated goal of S.K.A.T.E. to generate a lasting, measurable impact on higher achievement in the classroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
In an attempt to eliminate additional paper work, this year the BBL SKATE program will run on the honor system.

What does that mean?
Your parent/guardian should simply give your GPA, (print grade qualification form here), (each quarter/semester) to the BBL coordinator.

What do I do?
Maintain a 3.0 - B or above average during the hockey season.

Who can participate?
Any skater Squirt level and above.

Is there a deadline?
The deadline is generally in February and will be announced via email and on the website.

How can parents help?
Most importantly, keep reminding players about the importance of school and how S.K.A.T.E. will recognize their performance. Teach them that the sport of hockey is not a destination in life, but a vehicle to learn how to better live life.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call or email Wendy Green.

Good luck and have a great season!
