*Remember to choose MO for the state you play in during your USA Hockey registration.
*Multiple Children Discount- We offer a $75 discount on each child registered AFTER your first one. Enter code SIBLING in each player's registration AFTER your first child.
*It is our goal to continue to field Lady Hawks teams at as many age divisions available based on interest. However, if full teams are unable to be formed, girls will be rostered on co-ed teams based on evaluations.
*Girls that choose to dual roster (play for a co-ed team and an all girls Lady Hawk team) will be sent a request to pay the additional team fee once teams are made.
*14u - We hold tryouts, not evaluations at the 14u level. We will make every effort to have a spot for all players that sign up, but with the vast skill range and the introduction of checking at this level, we may have to make a hard decision and cut some players. This decision was not made lightly. Hopefully, we have plenty of players sign up at all skill levels and do not have to make any cuts and this is a non-issue.
*14u - If you do not make a team, you will get a full refund minus a $50 tryout fee.
*New mandatory volunteer requirements. Each family will be required to volunteer a minimum of 6 hours throughout the season. If you do not meet the minimum you will be charged a $200 volunteer fee. There is also the option to buyout of the volunteer requirement by paying $200 at the time of registration. All funds collected from the buyout fee will be used to reward those who volunteer extra time. Volunteer opportunities include but are not limited to game clock, scoresheet, penalty box, fundraising and helping at other Ice Hawks events. Opportunities can be found here https://www.icehawkshockey.org/parent-resources/volunteer-opportunities/4794 or by asking a board member, coach or team manager.
*Uniforms (jerseys, socks, shells) must be purchased during registration. Several uniform fittings will be held alongside evaluations. Please be on the lookout for those fitting times. Warmups and other items can be purchased separately through SkateTech, be on the lookout for this years specialty store.
*This season all 10U-16U players will receive a reversible jersey and socks that will be used as a practice jersey and a 3rd game jersey (If the team desires). 6U and 8U will receive their own custom jersey that will be used for practices and games. All players must get sized or enter a size at registration.
*There will be opportunities to fundraise this year to help offset your fees. The first will be TJ's pizza sale soon after evaluations. Please be on the lookout for communications regarding additional fundraising opportunities. Any questions or to volunteer please contact fundraising@icehawkshockey.org
