NLYHA Player Registration

HOCKEY REGISTRATION IS A 2-STEP PROCESS

1. Register with USA Hockey. All players must register every year to obtain a new USA Hockey number.

2. Register your player with NLYHA. Please make sure you have your new USA Hockey # handy as this is required when registering for NLYHA.

Sign up by August 1st and your player(s) will be entered into a drawing to win a $150 gift card to Pure Hockey!

New this year: ALL new players, Mites, and first-year Squirts will need to upload their birth certificate in order to complete registration, regardless of having submitted in past years. Moving forward, only new players will be required to complete this step.
