2022-2023 Season Registration
Registration is now open. **Travel team registration fees will increase by $100 after July 15th**
Before registering, you must get a 2022-2023 USA Hockey number here: USA Hockey Member Registration
Travel teams: registration fees are the same as last year (and the year before), however you will also pay $250 towards team fees and $100 for Nekton when you register this year. If you choose to not participate in the Nekton option, we will issue a refund after all teams are rostered. First day of travel team practice will be Saturday, October 1st.
Mites: please register when you know if you would like to play for the season. The first day of Mites practice will be on Sunday, October 30th. A $25 late fee will apply for anybody that registers after the first practice.
PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS are available as part of the standard registration process. You can pay in full, or choose a 4 payment plan or 6 payment plan.
JUNE/JULY/AUGUST BIRTHDAYS
- June/July/August 2013, 2011, and 2009: register for your age-eligible level, then you will need to work with the HHA Registrar to complete a peer move-up waiver and pay the level difference if you decide to do a peer move up
- June/July/August 2014: if you intend to move up to SQ/10U the following year, register as a Mite, then notify Adam Fink to ensure you are placed on the LYM/8U team (no peer move-up waiver needed)
D5 12U PILOT PROGRAM
Our District is running a 2-year pilot starting with the 2022-2023 season that allows a 13 year old to play another year of 12U hockey if she prefers. This is available to all HHA girls that fall within the birthdate range.
Please reach out to Kati Katzenmeyer or the HHA Registrar with any questions.

2022 SUMMER SHOOTING CHALLENGE (MAY 1-AUG 31)
{This is an optional 'challenge' to encourage skill development during the off-season}
The HHA summer shooting challenge is back for 2022! Some modifications have been made based on learnings. We intend to use this format going forward and will showcase the participating player results in both arenas year each.
- Timing: May 1- August 31
- Categories (# of shots): 2,000-3,999 | 4,000-5,999 | 6,000-7,999 | 8,000-9,999 | 10,000+
Any player from any level can participate in any category! Please encourage your player(s) to make a goal before starting the challenge. There are about 120 days in the challenge to factor a daily average, i.e. 6,000/120 = 50 shots per day.
Any shot counts - wrist shot, slap shot, snap shot, backhand, etc - so mix it up and keep track. A parent must initial the # of shots each day to check in on a regular basis.
Tip: Keep 25 pucks in your shooting area. Shoot all 25 pucks, then start again. Four times through and that's a quick 100 shots!
