Registration
Players will need a 2025-2026 USA Hockey number to register for fall programs. This is done at an additional cost directly through USA Hockey. Please please make sure to register your player using their FULL legal name as it appears on their birth certificate. Legal names are required by the registrar and all players must provide a birth certificate if they have not submitted one in a prior season. If your family needs assistance covering the USA Hockey membership fee, you may apply for a USA Hockey Membership Relief Fund Grant.
Register online through our DaySmart Recreation System. When registering, make sure to have your player’s name selected from the dropdown menu. Daysmart will only show programs your player is age-eligible for. You may either pay the registration fee in full or set up a payment plan.
See our Financial Policies for information on registration refunds.
Parent Meetings
Parents must attend a mandatory parent meeting which cover fees, volunteer opportunities, code of conduct, athletic training, etc.
The house parent meeting will be held virtually on Sunday, November 2nd at 7 pm. The Zoom link will be sent out via email.
Additional Information
Financial Assistance
Financial aid is available for families needing help with registration fees. To apply, complete a Financial Assistance Application and return it via email or mail before the registration deadline or program start date. Financial aid covers up to 2/3 of the registration fee but does not cover the volunteer obligation amount. Players should still register before the deadline and select the payment plan option. If awarded, the financial aid will be applied to the remaining balance.

Both programs are funded through donations. If you would like to donate to the Financial Assistance Fund, you may do so when you register, or donate through our website.
