CCHA’s goal is to keep Registration Fees consistent from year to year. CCHA is a large growing hockey association with over 800 players. Because of CCHA’s size and continued growth, CCHA must buy additional ice from other facilities. CCHA works with our partners and vendors to keep costs down, however, pricing increases can be out of our control. 

Players will default to the age classification in which their birth date falls. Moving down to a younger age range is not allowed. However, moving up to an older age classification is allowed if the player has a summer birthday making him/her younger than the cutoff date, but who is in the School Grade aligned with that older range. 

For more information visit the age classification webpage

If you played with CCHA in a previous season and have a credit on your account, you can use all or a portion of that credit balance to offset fees when you register. You will know if you have a credit balance if your recent player statement reflected a negative number. If applicable, the CCHA Discount Code list was sent with your player statement. NOTE: This code will be entered at checkout. 

• This code can ONLY be used during registration check out for the player who is listed on the player statement. 
• Valid on Registration Fees only.
• DO NOT use it for multiple players.
• Only register one player at a time if using a discount code

Volunteers are greatly needed to make a hockey association run, and without volunteers contributing many hours, CCHA could simply not exist.

Volunteer Hour Requirements: 12 hours

For families with more than one player participating in the CCHA: Each family will be required to complete the number of hours associated with their oldest child’s level. The maximum number of volunteer hours required by any family is 12 Volunteer Hours.

If you are not an ISD 112 resident a waiver is required to play with CCHA. If you are open enrolled or attending a private school located within the ISD 112 school district, you are only able to obtain a mandatory school waiver the first year of Squirt/10U. If you are seeking to play at CCHA outside of this timeframe you will need to seek a discretionary waiver which is a request but no guarantee to play at CCHA.

To start the waiver process, please contact the association for the school district where you reside. 

If you are an ISD 112 resident but are open enrolled or attending a private school outside of the ISD 112 school district, a waiver is required to release you to play with another association. To start the waiver process, please read the CCHA Waiver Information page for more information.  

Note: First year squirt/10U Youth players who are waiving into CCHA on a school waiver, but have not attended an ISD 112 school for 12 months are not eligible to tryout for the top team.
