All players within PNAHA are required to register online with USA Hockey for the 2011-12 season.  Online registration has proved to be very successful across the country and streamlines the registration process for associations within the affiliate.  The process is easy to use, and PNAHA and its Member Organizations found that the system reduced data entry errors.

Once players have registered online they need to print out a confirmation form.  They need to take this confirmation form to the association that they decided to join and present them to the registrar so that he/she may "claim" that player for the season.  Note that for your USA Hockey Insurance to kick in you must be "claimed" by an association.  Note that if you should happen to loose your confimation form that the local association registrar will be able to locate you in the system manually.

Click Here For Contests and other activities sponsored by USA Hockey and USA Hockey Sponsors.  Join us February 17-19, 2012 for the 5th Annual Hockey Weekend Across America.  The objective of this event is to celebrate our game and all involved in the sport throughout the nation using all means possible.  It is our desire to provide opportunities for those who haven't played hockey to try it, resulting ultimately in more people playing our game at all levels.

Hockey Weekend Across America has been a big success as a national platform to celebrate the game and we are now putting a stronger focus on growing the game.  February 18 is Try Hockey for Free.  It is hoped that this activity will generate a number of first-time players on the ice that will later transition to local full-time programs.
