Season Fees
CCHA’s goal is to keep Registration Fees consistent from year to year. CCHA is a large growing hockey association with over 875 players. Because of CCHA’s size and continued growth, CCHA must buy additional ice, support additional coaches & equipment, pay for more tournaments, and incur other operating expenses.

Waivers
If you are not an ISD 112 resident a waiver is required to play with CCHA. If you are open enrolled or attending a private school located within the ISD 112 school district, you are only able to obtain a mandatory school waiver the first year of Squirt/10U. If you are seeking to play at CCHA outside of this timeframe you will need to seek a discretionary waiver which is a request but no guarantee to play at CCHA.
To start the waiver process, please contact the association for the school district where you reside.
If you are an ISD 112 resident but are open enrolled or attending a private school outside of the ISD 112 school district, a waiver is required to release you to play with another association. To start the waiver process, please read the CCHA Waiver Information page for more information.
Note: First year squirt/10U Youth players who are waiving into CCHA on a school waiver, but have not attended an ISD 112 school for 12 months are not eligible to tryout for the top team.
If you are not a United States citizen, you must obtain a Youth Transfer Player form which can be found on the USA Hockey website.
Please contact the CCHA Registrar, registrar@cchockey.org or the CCHA President, president@cchockey.org, if you have questions about your eligibility or the waiver process.
