New athletes — Prior to registering with USA Hockey or completing the below form, please contact our Executive Director to find out if your child may join the team as athlete on the active roster or on the waitlist.
Returning athletes – Your child(ren)’s spot is held until the end of August, at which point, if he/she/they are not officially registered, their spot will be released to another athlete.

I agree to and understand the following:*
My child(ren) may be photographed or videoed and those may be used publically. · Helmets and gloves must be worn at all times. If they come off while on the ice, play will be suspended until they are properly worn. · We do our best to remain consistent with athletes using the same sleds each time so they are comfortable and used to the size of their sled. Athletes, sometimes, for a variety of reasons, may have to use a different sled. · Safe stick handling is important. Sticks are equipped with sharp blades and must be treated with caution and respect. · Only designated volunteers, not parents/guardians/or athletes, may handle equipment to and from carts. · Registered therapy animals are permitted with paperwork. Pets are not allowed. · At least one parent/guardian must remain at sled hockey with their child(ren) for the entire duration of sled hockey. Athletes cannot be left unattended. · Parents/guardians are empowered to lift their child(ren) into and out of sleds and onto and off ice. Parents/guardians must be prepared to do so as this is not within the volunteer role. · Parents/guardians are not permitted to be alone with any child outside of their family, at any time, for any reason. Knock before entering the bathroom and please wait until no one else besides your family is inside before entering. · Reckless, dangerous, or unkind play will not be tolerated. Our team is made up of athletes of varying ages and abilities. All team members must remain respectful towards their fellow teammates. Failure to comply will result in being sent temporarily to the penalty box up to suspension from the team. · In the event of a USA Hockey sanctioned tournament, only athletes with mobility challenges may participate.
