The Hutchinson Hockey Association (HHA) strives to create an environment that encourages creativity, discipline, leadership, sportsmanship and competition, thus building character in all youth who choose to participate.  Our youth are our greatest asset.

Registration for the 2025-2026 season will open on July 1, 2025. Travel team players must register by July 15 to avoid the $250 price increase. There are no exceptions. It is critical that you register between July 1-15 for planning purposes.

Mites may register after July 15 without a price increase but sooner is better. By registering early, you will also have additional payment plan options.

PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS
1. Pay in FULL at time of registration.

2. TWO equal payments made 60 days apart. First payment due 60 days after you register and second payment to follow 60 days later.

3. FOUR equal payments (no payment due at time of registration). The total cost will be divided equally in 4 payments and will be made the following 4 consecutive months. Payments to be made on the 20th of each month. For example:

• Register in July: payments made 8/20, 9/20, 10/20, and 11/20
• Register in October: payments made 11/20, 12/20, 1/20, 2/20
• Not available for any registrations in November or later

4. EIGHT equal payments* with first payment due on July 20 (no payments made at time of registration), then subsequent payments due on 8/20, 9/20, 10/20, 11/20, 12/20, 1/20, and 2/20.

*Terms applicable for registrations before July 19 only. Anybody that registers after July 19 will need to pay all prior payments at time of registration which will be automatically combined for the first payment. Then, the remainder of payments will be made monthly.

GET A HEAD START
You will need to first register as a USA Hockey member before following the HHA process. HHA registration link to be added on July 1.

The 2025 HHA summer is underway. We’ve teamed up with Nekton Sports Performance to deliver a high-energy, development-focused camp centered around skating, shooting, gameplay, and more.

DATES
June: 10–12, 17–19, 24–26
July: 8–10, 15–17, 22–24

SCHEDULE

• Peewee/12U: 8:00–9:10am
• Squirt 10U: 9:25–10:35am
• Bantam: 10:50am–12:00pm
• Mite: 12:15–1:00pm

This is an optional 'challenge' to encourage skill development during the off-season!

Timing: May 1- August 31

Categories (# of shots):
2,000-3,999 | 4,000-5,999 | 6,000-7,999 | 8,000-9,999 | 10,000+

Any HHA player can participate in any category! Please encourage your player(s) to make a goal before starting the challenge. There are about 120 days in the challenge to factor a daily average, i.e. 6,000/120 = 50 shots per day.  Any shot counts - wrist shot, slap shot, snap shot, backhand, etc. - so mix it up and keep track. A parent must initial the # of shots each day to check in on a regular basis.

Check out YouTube videos for proper form and tips:

• Wrist shot technique
• Slap shot off-ice shooting correction
• Basics of the snap shot
• Shooting off opposite foot

HHA has a Sparx machine to offer skate sharpening services. This is open to anybody to get their hockey skates sharpened during the available times. The cost is $5 per sharpening or 5 for $20 with a punch card purchase - cash only, please.
