Why have registration fees increased?  There are 3 main reasons for the increase;

1. Increased ice cost – 2019 fees were based on an average hourly rate of $180.  Given the increase in ice costs in our area, our hourly average rate is now $210 per hour.  That’s and increase of $30/hour and increases the per player cost by approximately $150.
2. We have increased our player development budget. Our new development model allots development sessions to individual teams and also provides goalies with full sessions dedicated only to goalie training.
3. The previous cost model was based on 17 players on a team.  If a team had a roster of less than 17 players, that level ran at a loss.  By changing the cost model to be based on 15 players per roster this allows more flexibility to ensure players are placed at the right level.
