ALL REGISTRATION FORMS MUST BE COMPLETED AND RECEIVED BY APRIL 1, 2009 TO BE GUARANTEED A SPOT FOR THE 2009-2010 SEASON

There are some new programs and policies for the 2009-2010 season. They include the following:

1. Online registration. We urge all families to complete the online registration through the web site at http://www.hinghamgirlshockey.org/registration.html. All players who participated in the 2006-2007 or 2007-2008 season already have their information in the database. You just need to log in to access your information and register. If you don’t have or cannot recall your player’s user name, follow the instructions to have it emailed to you.

2. Full time goaltenders must register with HGH and through USA Hockey for the insurance portion and pay only the $35 at that site. There is no additional cost.

3. We have an expanded U10 Developmental/Cross Ice Program. The 24 week season will begin Mid-October will include one practice and one power skate each week as well as approximately 10 games.

4. In the event your child plays on another Hockey team or plays another sport which conflicts with HGH practices or games, it is the expectation of Hingham Girls Hockey that such absences from HGH practices and/or games will be handled evenly and fairly between the multiple teams or sports. HGH does encourage our participants to play other sports. Conflicts do arise when parents do not respect the time and effort that is put into a team by the other players and coaches. Parents are required to notify the head coach in advance of such absences. HGH asks parents to respect the time and effort put in by the players, coaches, and organization and to be fair to both teams when making decisions on which game or practice to attend.

If you choose to pay with a credit card, you may be assessed a $25 processing fee.

 All fees and dues must be paid according to the payment schedule located on the website registration page, in order to practice and play. Players will not be placed on team rosters and will not be allowed to skate until they are paid in full. Players not paid in full by August 1 may be placed on a waiting list and their spot on the team may be filled.
Dues are not refundable after August 1, 2009.  Exceptions to this are as follows:
(A) Player moves out of Hingham. Registration fee is not refundable, dues are refunded on a pro-rated basis based on games left of schedule.
(B) Player injury or medical reason does not allow them to play for 4 weeks or more. Registration fee is not refundable, dues may be refunded on a pro-rated basis based on games left of schedule.
(C) U10 registration fees and dues are fully refundable (until Oct. 1) if child does not play.

REGISTRATION FEES AND PROCEDURES
All players must be registered and have paid the registration fee before they will be allowed on the ice for any evaluations. All HGH fees must be paid in full by August 1, 2009 or the players may be removed from their team and another player assigned that spot. Payments not complete by September 1, 2009 will have a $100 late fee added to the program dues. Payment plans are available, but they must be approved by the Board of Directors. Full or partial scholarships are available based on financial need. If you are in need of financial assistance, please contact (email: Lawrence_Healey@yahoo.com or call  (781)424-0626).
Players must be registered for the coming season before they are assigned an evaluation number on the first night of evaluations. No player will be allowed on the ice without a registration form and a paid registration fee. Registrations will be taken during evaluations; however, we highly encourage everyone to register on-line at hinghamgirlshockey.org.  Any balances due from the 2008-2009 season must be paid in full or any player from the immediate family may not be allowed to evaluation.

FEES:
For the 2009 – 2010 season the player fees for HGH will be as follows:
$695 U10/Cross- Ice (24 week season)
$950 U12/U14  ($300 Registration fee included)
$295 U19 Games Only (Payment in full required)
$350 U19 Games plus Power skating (Payment in full required)
$295 3rd Child Discount Fee

If you choose to pay with a credit card, you may be assessed a $25 processing fee.

All of the above require a separate registration fee of $35 through USA Hockey for the USA/Mass Hockey fees ($30 & $5).  You will be notified via email when USAH registration is open.

The $295 Registration Fee must be paid prior to the Evaluations. 
Anyone not paid in full by September 1, 2009 will be subject to a late fee of $100.00.


PAYMENT SCHEDULE:
If you are not paying in full, please note the payment schedule in the Registration documents. For 2009-2010 season, all monies, will be due in full by August 1, 2009. This schedule gives a family a 5 month period from March to August 1 to spread out the payments. Any player not paid in full by that time will not be issued a team sweater or allowed to practice or play with his or her team. Any player paying after September 1, 2009, will also be assessed a $100 late fee. The HGH Board of Directors is a volunteer organization. Any time spent on trying to collect outstanding fees only takes away from our primary purpose of providing the best hockey experience for the kids that we can. Please pay on time. HGH also offers scholarships to any families that are experiencing a financial hardship. To be considered, please submit a written request to Lawrence Healey (email: Lawrence_Healey@yahoo.com (781) 424-0626).

REGISTRATION PROCESS:
We are encouraging everyone to use the HGH website for Registration. Here is the link for the HGH Registration Page, http://www.hinghamgirlshockey.org/registration.html You should go to the Registration Page and click on “Player Login Page”. At that page you can login for existing players or you can create an account for new registers. From there you should follow the instructions, complete the registration process and make your payment online with a credit card. You should try and be as complete as possible with the information you are inputting during the registration process. All of this information is required by HGH as well as Mass Hockey and USA Hockey. Also, the more complete your information is input into the database, the better HGH is able to contact you and keep you apprised of all things going on with HGH. There is a very complete set of instructions and information on the above mentioned Registration Page.



On-Line Registration Instructions:
Login with your Member ID and password here: http://www.hinghamgirlshockey.org/registration.html
If you cannot remember your login information and you have received an email from HGH about registration for the upcoming season, click on “forgot password” in the login section of the website, and enter your email address. The login information for all players associated with that email address will be sent to you.
Important! Once you have your account information, it is important to maintain ONE account for EACH player you have in the program. This will be the account we tie to your player's team, USAH, future payments, email, etc.
If you have multiple children in the program, you must log out of one account to access the other. 

USA Hockey/Mass Hockey Registration:
PLEAE NOTE THAT YOU MUST REGISTER FOR THIS AFTER MAY 1, 2009 FOR THE 2009-2010 SEASON.  IF YOU REGISTER BEFORE MAY 1, 2009, IT WILL BE COUNTED FOR THIS YEAR.
Beginning with this year’s registration, HGH will be joining the 70% of other youth hockey programs across the nation in adopting the process of having individual members register with USA Hockey and with the Affiliate program (Mass Hockey) on the USA Hockey website.
The complete registration process will be a three step process: The first step in the process (registering on the HGH site to participate in the HGH program) will remain the same as it does today. The second step in the process will be for each individual to register their player with USA Hockey (and they will automatically register with Mass Hockey as well). In case you were not aware, one of the reasons players are required to be registered with USA hockey is insurance. As part of the USA Hockey fee, USA hockey provides each member with an insurance coverage (please check the USA Hockey website for details of the coverage). The USA fee is $30 per player and the Mass Fee is $5 per player. Note: this second step in the registration process DOES NOT replace the first step of registering for HGH participation on the HGH site and is required in order to play. The third step in the process will be to pay the remaining balances and dues.
Step 1 - Registration Fee Payment Options:
During the on-line process, you will have the option to make the minimum registration fee payment or any amount up to the full season dues by:
1. Paying on-line using a Credit card (VISA, Master Card or Discover).  A 2.9% processing fee will be charged to your account.
2. Mailing a check with a copy of the off line/check payment page or the registration reference number to: Hingham Girls Hockey, P.O. Box 563, Hingham MA 02043
Note: Families with outstanding dues from the 08-09 season will not be allowed to evaluation until they have been paid in full.
Step 2 – USA Hockey Registration:
The USA Hockey On-Line registration area opens their registration for the 2009-2010 season (covers Sept.1 ’09-Aug 31 ’10) on May 1, 2009. HGH will send a reminder notice in late April to remind closer to the May 1 On-Line registration opening. From people that have done this in the past, it takes approximately 1 minute to 3 minutes to register on the USAH site.
1. Go to www.usahockey.com and click on “Online registration” link on the right side of the screen (or on the drop down menu)
2. Select “Player and Coaches” Members category

14. Enter the 9 number 5 alpha confirmation into the “USAH Confirmation #” field.
Step 3 - Payment Instructions for Remaining Balances and Dues:
