Fees for 8U Mite DO include game jerseys and socks but DO NOT include equipment, or travel-related expenses such as gas, food, lodging, etc. which are paid separately by each player. Please note that most tournaments expect a two-night hotel stay minimum for players.

Fees for 10U and older teams do NOT include jerseys/socks (with the exception of 8U MITE), equipment, or travel-related expenses such as gas, food, lodging, etc. which are paid separately by each player. Please note that most tournaments expect a two-night hotel stay minimum for players.

On Ice –

Summer – Offseason: Due to ice limitations in central Ohio, Development teams will practice on ice once a week from the week of July 22^nd through the end of August (August 28^th) at the various OhioHealth Chillers.

Season: Due to ice limitations in central Ohio, players on development teams will practice on-ice with according to their house hockey team schedule. If ice becomes available, it will be offered to Development teams for practices. The goal is to have 6 on-ice development team practices throughout the season. This may or may not be a reality depending on ice availability.

Off Ice – During the season, Development teams will have weekly team off ice training sessions at The Spot Athletics (https://www.thespotathletics.com/) in Dublin.

Games: Due to ice limitations at the Chiller, we anticipate that each team will have budget to schedule 2 home games.

Tournaments: Anticipated 3 – 5 tournaments will be scheduled for each team. Out of town travel will be required.

Exact Tournament Weekends are TBD and will be published once finalized.

Overall game estimate: 20-30 games.

8U Mite: Jerseys and Socks are included in the fees.

10U and older: Players in this program must purchase CCYHA home and away jerseys and socks from the CCYHA vendor. These costs are not included in the team fees and must be paid by each family upon ordering. Ordering is done immediately after tryouts in addition to other items such as warmups.
