Must Haves at the Registration Open House OPEN HOUSE CHECKLIST 1. A copy of player s official government issued Birth Certificate (ONLY REQUIRED for players who DID NOT play during the 2017-18 season or who are new to CYHA.) (You may scan a copy of the birth certificate during the online registration process, attaching it to your registration.) 2. Signed Volunteer Contract and check for 10 hours of service per household, made payable to CYHA for $500 or two checks for $250 each (print player s name and level of play on memo line). 3. Waivers for players who do not live in District 10 are available for signing as needed (see Participation Rule below). If you have a current school waiver, then you will pick it up at the registration open house and turn it in with the rest of your paperwork. 4. Proof of enrollment for ALL open enrolled players MN Hockey is requiring that every player that is open enrolled provide proof of enrollment in an ISD12 school. This can be a printout from the parent portal, registration documentation, etc. It may be uploaded as part of the registration process or emailed to the registrar. Copies of USAH Confirmation #, email and CYHA registration information can be brought to the Registration Open House, but do not need to be turned in. Only four items listed above are required for each player. And, the waiver is only required by the affected players who do NOT live within ISD12 school district. PARTICIPATION RULE (Do you need a Waiver?) Those registering from outside our Association boundary (ISD No. 12) must have a completed Waiver form before participating in any CYHA activities. Per the MN Hockey Participation policy, a player can play where they live OR with the Association of their school enrollment, should it differ from their residence. Your High School Boundary Area is considered your Home Association. If you live outside the Centennial High School Boundary, but go to a Centennial School, you are eligible to play in the Centennial Youth Hockey Association. You will only be able to choose this option once. If you choose to join our Association, you must FIRST request a signed Waiver from your home Association BEFORE registering to play with CYHA. The signed Waiver can be obtained from your home Association Registrar or President. This completed/signed waiver would then be brought to an open house for the CYHA President to sign. Please start this process as soon as possible before registration. If you live outside of ISD12 AND are outside of District 10 Hockey boundaries, then additional waiver signatures are required. ANNUAL WAIVERS: Annual waivers are only assigned if you live and attend school outside of ISD12 school district. Typically these are only approved to help fill teams where there are shortages. 5

PARTICIPATION RULE (Do you need a Waiver?) Cont. New School Waiver: As of 2015-16 hockey season, USA Hockey mandated that players applying for a new school waiver cannot play at the highest level available, they must play down at least one level. Meaning, a new PeeWee waivered player cannot play at the AA level for the first year of the school waiver. New in 2017-18: The exception is that 2 nd year Bantams who are open enrolling this year are allowed to play at the highest level. Attention to families that completed Waivers during/after the 2010-11 seasons: If nothing has changed with your residence and district of school attendance, you DO NOT need to renew your Waiver every year. For complete details on the Participation Rule visit www.minnesotahockey.org. If you have additional questions contact Deb Matko at registration@centennialhockey.org or call 612-860-6371. But, you will be asked to provide continued proof of enrollment on an annual basis. CYHA REFUND POLICY All refund requests must be submitted in writing to the CYHA President. Requests received prior to the first tryout session will receive a full refund, less a $50 cancellation fee. The tryout fee will be refunded, if applicable. Requests received after tryouts have begun, and prior to team selection, will receive a 50% refund. Requests received after team selection and prior to November 1st, will receive a 25% refund. No refunds will be given after November 1st. There will be no refund of tryout fees once tryouts have begun. In the event of a season ending injury, a refund may be made at the discretion of the CYHA Executive Board. The amount refunded, if any, will be based on several factors such as the date of injury and the costs incurred by the Association on behalf of the player. This amount will be prorated depending on the percentage of the season played by the injured player. Any player officially being selected for and choosing to participate on the Centennial High School Varsity or Junior Varsity teams, will receive a refund at the discretion of the Executive Board. The refund will be based on several factors including the costs incurred by the Association on behalf of the player. Refunds will NOT be given to players leaving the Association to play for any other school or hockey program. Example based on a B Bantam registration fee of $1200. Before tryouts $1150 refund ($1200 - $50 cancellation fee) During tryouts, before team selection $600 refund (50% of $1200) After team selection, before November 1 st $300 refund (25% of $1200) After Nov 1 no refund LAND O'FROST SPONSOR Please take a minute to go to the link below and support Land O'Frost; who is one of CYHA's key corporate sponsors. http://www.landofrost.com/youthsports/ 6

CENTENNIAL YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION MITE PROGRAM Guidelines Time and Cost Expectations Ages 4 8 (As of July 1, 2018) Boys and Girls (Program subject to change at any time due to District 10/CYHA program changes) Objective: To provide a hockey program for children that will teach them the fundamentals of the game, as well as, serve as their foundation for the future. This will be accomplished by providing participants the opportunity to develop the skills needed to play the game of hockey, ranging from skating skills to more advanced team concepts. The Mite program will be divided into 5 (five) classifications in order to serve the varying degrees of age, skill and ability of the participants. Team placement is determined by an on-ice evaluation just prior to the beginning of the season. Cougar Cubs Learn to Skate Program teaches the most basic skills of hockey and is intended for the children that have an interest in playing but have little or no skating experience. Full equipment required (see below for description), with the exception of shoulder pads, which are optional. NO EVALUATION. 12-1 HOUR Weekend Sessions - Nov-Feb. Required Equipment: Helmet with mask/shield, mouth guard (cannot be clear), hockey skates, stick, elbow pads, shin guards, breezers/hockey pants, supporter/pelvic protector and gloves, shoulder pads (optional), neck guard (optional).

SEE Cougar Cubs Program Flyer in Registration Package. U8 Girls This program is designed for girls only that are of Mite age, but at the B/A level (2 nd -3 rd Graders). Girls are not required to play on the U8 girls teams; they can register and play on Mite teams, levels A D. CYHA offers this program due to the interest from girls in this age group to play on teams of all girl players. D10 numbers at the 8U level will determine the number of U8 teams Centennial will roster. If necessary CYHA will form more than one U8 team and CYHA will determine if there are two balanced teams or Upper Level U8 Girls (Cont) and Lower Level U8 teams. If there is only one U8 team, Girls that don t evaluate at the U8 level can also still play the Mite level they were placed at from evaluations (A-D). The program details would be similar to C for the Lower U8 team and A/B for the Upper U8 team. CYHA will determine the overall number of 8U girls teams based on registration numbers. For 2018-2019, CYHA has determined we will have one Upper level 8U team (2 nd /3 rd graders only). However, this won t be finalized until after evaluations when we have a final count on numbers by level. Girls interested in playing U8, may be evaluated with the A/B level mite players. If for some reason we can t field a U8 team, the girls will be placed at the appropriate Mite level (A-D).
