A minimum deposit of $250 is required at the time of registration to secure the discounted rate. There is no early registration discount for the 6U Mighty Mite program.

The remaining payments for the program will be collected in monthly installments from October to January for our travel teams. Other teams with lower costs will be collected over fewer monthly installments. Any family not fully paid, or in good standing with their payment plan by January 15th, will not be allowed to participate in any BYH on-ice events until payments are made in full. Requirements for First Practice: It is required that before your player is allowed to participate in the first practice that a minimum payment of $250 is made. Additionally, a Player Commitment form must be filled out and submitted to the team official before the start of the first practice. This form can be found at the start of the on-line registration system or the BYH web site under Documents. Outstanding Balances: Members with an outstanding balance from a previous year will not be allowed on the ice for any BYH event (conditioning clinic, tryout, skills clinic etc.) until all commitments have been fulfilled.

In cases of financial hardship, payment arrangements must be submitted to the BYH Registrar for approval. In addition, any family who has a financial hardship is also eligible for a financial scholarship. Scholarship applications can be found on the BYH web site.

Player/Association Commitment Form: Per New York State Amateur Hockey Association (NYSAHA) guidelines, all players will be required to sign a commitment form at the conclusion of tryouts. If tryouts are not required (ie: house teams) this form needs to be completed at the beginning of the season. New Members: Any player who is a member of another hockey association MUST obtain a written Player Release Form from their current association prior to their registration with BYH or participation in BYH tryouts. Equipment: If buying new equipment, please purchase black helmets, pants and gloves to provide a more uniform look among BYH players. PLEASE NOTE: The home ice for BYH is the Bethlehem Area YMCA in Delmar and Albany Academy in Albany. At times, we may have to utilize other area facilities due to scheduling conflicts.
