When

The season begins with tryouts in mid-March with team placement set for most teams. In mid-August, team practices begin with games beginning mid-September and lasting until mid-February. Teams qualifying for playoffs continue play for two more weeks.

Where

The Pond in Chargin Falls is our home ice rink. Practices will be held here along with all home games. Locations for away games will be based on teams matched up to in assigned division by CSHL.

Practices

Teams have practices 2 times a week. Additional practices will be offered to teams to teams based on available ice and coach availability.

Games

Most teams play from 30-50 games in a season. This includes CSHL games, scrimmages, and tournament games. Teams are in control of the number of extra games played.

Most games are scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but some games could be scheduled during the week due to schedule conflicts.

Jerseys

GYHA jerseys are required and purchased separately. A communication will be sent separately to setup dates and times to measure for jersey size and place one order.

Extra Costs

Beyond registration and season fees, there could be additional costs if a player needs new jersey, hockey socks, or both.

All tournaments and scrimmages organized outside of CSHL game slots are also the responsibility of the team. Usually, team managers coordinate these items and collect the funds to cover these costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

If my child Geauga jersey fits from last season, do I have to still purchase a new one?

In most cases, no. GYHA does not require a new jersey every year. During sizing, we try to size the jersey to fit and potentially last more than one season.
