House (Recreational) A/B
Our Recreational/House Program is for players aged 9-18. Depending on quantity of players at evaluations, and skill level, each age group can be divided into 2 levels: Tier III (House/Rec A) and Tier IV (House B). All players register at the Tier IV level.
Players register and attend evaluations for placement in September. Players selected for the Tier III (House A) level have an additional fee for additional playing time. Players not selected (or those choosing not to be evaluated) will automatically be placed at the Tier IV (House B) level. Information on 8U hockey can be found under the 8U Mite tab under 'Programs'.

Games
Teams will play 25-35 games over the course of the season and will usually fall on the weekends.
There are also optional tournaments.
Cost
Initial registration cost is $1150 for 14U-18U and $1300 for 10U/12U, subject to change when the new annual budget is set in June.
This fee is required, but can be paid in installments. Set up your payment preference in Crossbar when registering.
The fee includes participation at State, and the 10U/12U fee also includes the MHA Fall Development skate.
Additional Costs
"A" players will incur an additional cost near season's end as they receive additional hours of ice. The per player cost is determined by additional ice time over allotted hours and the number of rostered players.
Teams may decide to participate in additional tournaments or jamborees. Expect Team Managers to request funds to cover entry fees.
