Travel Programs
Travel fees include two to three on-ice practices each week (see table below), entry fee into the MAHA state tournament and additional home ice slots. Due to COVID-19, no dryland sessions will take place at the rink this season. Tryouts will be held during the month of October, and A and B teams will be formed where numbers allow. Each age group will participate in a week-long tryout. Tryout dates will be posted after registration has ended. All players must provide a $125 deposit check for their jerseys, which will be returned at the end of the season upon receipt of the jersey.
There are additional costs that will be expected to be paid by each family if your player chooses to participate in travel hockey. Additional costs include tournament fees, travel costs (hotel, gas, meals), coaches expenses, and other miscellaneous fees that each team may choose to incur.
Schedule
The travel season runs 21-weeks – October 5, 2020 through March 11, 2021 – with optional practices over the holidays between December 21 and January 3. See below for the tryout schedule or download it as a pdf. The practice schedule is posted above. 
As of August 3rd, 2020, the Montana Amateur Hockey Association has discouraged travel out of state as well as hosting out of state teams until at least January 1, 2021. MAHA league games and state tournaments are still being scheduled at this time. MAYHA plans on offering additional clinics throughout the season in place of the tournament weekends, as well as offering some 3v3 tournaments.

Families that have multiple players renting equipment should schedule one appointment for each player.
Sponsors
Team sponsors are still needed for the winter season and count toward fundraising! Sponsors help offset the cost of operating our youth hockey programs, which keeps costs down for our families. If you know of a business who might be interested in sponsoring, contact Laura or download a Youth Hockey Team Sponsorships Packet.
Policies
Please see the MAYHA Guidebook for complete information on our program’s policies and procedures. Visit our COVID-19 policies page for complete information on the rink’s operating policies during phase 2.
