Volunteer requirements – MYHA is run entirely by volunteers, and it takes everyone pitching in to make it happen. Each family will be required to work a minimum of 8 hours per player, with a 24 hour family maximum. The fee to buyout of the volunteer program will be $450 per player.

Locker room attendants – Minnesota Hockey guidelines require that locker rooms are supervised by an adult whenever players are present. Minnesota Hockey and District 6 are assessing fines to associations and teams that do not follow these guidelines. Once teams are formed, parents/guardians will need to sign up to cover locker room shifts for the season. Parents will need their own USA Hockey number (either as a volunteer or coach) and will need to complete the online SafeSport certification process.  MYHA Board members will work with team managers on the sign up and tracking process.


AGE LEVEL, MOVE UP POLICY AND GRADE LEVEL EXCEPTION

Age Level

MYHA player eligibility is governed by the Minnesota Hockey eligibility rules. The starting  birthdate for each age classification is June 1st to provide players born in June the ability to play with their classmates. 

See the Age Classifications web page for the current eligibility chart.

Level Move-Up Policy

MYHA has a strict policy to place a player at their appropriate age level as determined by Minnesota Hockey eligibility rules.  The MYHA board will consider exceptions to allow players to move up under the grade level exception. 

Grade Level Exception

MYHA will allow a player to play up a level if, by age, they are not eligible to play at the same level as their grade level peers per the Minnesota Hockey birthdate parameters.

This consideration is offered only to allow players to play with friends in their school grade and not due to a player’s hockey ability. This affects players relative to their grade as follows:

 Players who are not eligible per birthdate:

 But are entering:

 Mite 1 / 6U

 Kindergarten

 Mite 2

 1st Grade

 Mite 3 & 4 / 8U

 2nd Grade

 Squirt / 10U

 4th Grade

 Peewee / 12U  

 6th Grade

 Bantam / 15U

 8th Grade

 Junior Gold  10th Grade
 19U  11th Grade

 

NOTE: All players exercising this option are subject to the review and approval of the MYHA board.


Waivers

Minnnesota Hockey rules base player eligibility on the primary residence of parent/legal guardian. Therefore, any player living outside the boundaries of Minnetonka Schools (ISD 276) requires a waiver to be eligible to play with MYHA.

A school waiver is required for a player who is open enrolled in Minnetonka Schools or another school located within the district's boundaries. For more information regarding waivers please see the Participation Rules/Waiver Requirements web page.

If the player is not a United States citizen they must submit  a Youth Transfer Player form  through USA Hockey before they will be allowed to play. The form can be found on the USA Hockey website.  

Please contact the MYHA Registrar, Mandy Whiteside, at registrar@tonkahockey.org if you have questions about your eligibility or the waiver process.
