Frequently Asked Questions

Game Uniform Signup and Purchase

All players at the 10U level and above will play in matching game uniforms (jersey and socks) that were purchased or will be purchased for their personal use.

If your player acquired a new jersey already, no further action is needed. If your player is moving up to 10U or outgrew their jersey, please continue to read.

The expected cost is $100 for the complete set (jersey + 2 pairs of socks). Jerseys are reversible (for use at both home and away games) and customized with your player's last name and a chosen number! These jerseys will be used by MAHA teams every year so players can continue wearing their set as long as it continues to fit. We offer financial assistance for those families who qualify.

More information on the jersey ordering process can be found here.

Playing Time

MAHA believes that hockey players get better by playing: in practices and in games.

At all levels, coaches will make their best effort to grant equal ice time to all players over the course of the season, but have discretion in situations that warrant variation from this rule, which include a player's attendance record, behavior, and, in rare cases, limited game situations where the team can benefit from having certain players on the ice, e.g. last minutes of a tight state tournament game.

If a player or family member has any concerns or questions about playing time, MAHA encourages you to speak with your team's coach and/or reach out to the MAHA Director of Coaching.

10U/12U Girls Team

Female players, birth years 2017 to 2014, interested in an introduction to travel and game play against other regional teams. The tentative plan is 1 practice per week and 1-2 games on the weekend. Registered players will commit to this team and should not double roster on a youth team to avoid scheduling conflicts.

8U Jams includes returning Mites who will be skating with our travel program. Not sure if your player is ready for Jams? Reach out to Coach Duncan — he’s happy to help.

We will run a Learn to Skate Session (January and February) in addition to the Learn to Play Program (in cooperation with the Boston Bruins, October/November)—please stay tuned for details!
