ADDITIONAL TOURNAMENTS

Teams may add additional tournaments to their schedule if desired by both the coaches and the parents and approved by HYHA.

D3 Games are scheduled around the tournaments that HYHA has registered the team for.   Any additional tournaments must work with the team D3 Game schedule.   Do not commit to an additional tournament until after the Team's D3 Game Schedule is posted.  D3 Games will not be rescheduled due to a tournament conflict.

All expenses for additional tournaments are the responsibility of the Team.  Tournament fees average about $1000 (can range from $750-$1500).

Squirt/10U Managers - Be careful when considering additional tournaments.  There is a 35 game max for Squirt/10U (includes D3 games, tournament games and scrimmages).

Let's Play Hockey, Youth Hockey Hub and searching on hockey association websites (look under tournaments) are all good resources for finding additional tournaments. 

Add all Tournament Games to your team Game Schedule:

• Go to team page and click on edit button
• Click on Game Schedule
• Click on Add Game
• Enter all game details:  Date, Time, opponent, Location, etc
• Save the Game
• Refresh and the game will show up on the Game Schedule and on the team calendar
• Enter score on team webpage or App upon completion of the game
• Repeat to add additional tournament games
