Traveling

NEW this season:

Jersey and Sock orders will be submitted as part of registration. Uniforms are provided by a new vendor (JOG Sports) so be sure to review sizing prior to registering.

• Fitting sessions available 7/1 6-8pm and 7/12 5-7pm at the SLP Rec Center.
• Size Chart: St. Louis Park Hockey | Uniform Ordering / Sizing

Please Note

• Returning players assigned previous year number unless otherwise communicated
• First year Squirts / New Registrants will need to select a jersey number as the last step of the registration process (right after payment is complete). Do not close your browser tab before completing this step
• Last Name and Player Number in your players profile (under Accounts) is what will be used for jersey customization. Please review for accuracy.

Effective the 2024-2025 Season:

• No Mite School Waivers: Players must play in the association that covers their home residence at the Mite (U6/U8) level. 
• School Waiver Eligibility: School attendance waivers are only available to players in their first year of Squirt/10U or those in Jr. Gold/19U. If they stop attending school in that association's area, they revert back to their Association of Residence for participation.
• Annual Discretionary Waivers: Players not eligible for a school waiver or those whose situation doesn't fit the standard rules need to apply for a discretionary waiver from their District Director every year. 

When does registration open?

• Player registration typically opens in July and runs through mid August for players in traveling levels. Mites and Jr. Gold run later in the year.

Are jerseys provided or are they purchased separately?

• Team uniforms are provided by the association. Families must place an order each season in an appropriate size. Uniform ordering will be completed during the registration process. Refer to the Uniform Ordering/Sizing for size chart.

What costs beyond registration fees should be expected?

• Team managers collect funds to cover scrimmage and tournament expenses. This is variable by team and not intended to be a major expense.
• Top teams at each level may also have additional registration fees to cover higher coach rates and referee fees. Additional details can be found on the level pages linked above.

How many games will they play? What days of the week?

• The number of practices, games, and other team development events vary by age and level. Games and practices can occur on any day of the week.

Without a doubt, the out of town tournament is highlight. Kids & parents all talk about the fun had at these events. The video below is from our 2021-22 Squirt team that attended the Squirt Invitational in Fargo, ND.

The St. Louis Park Hockey Association (SLPHA) established a Financial Assistance Program to provide financial assistance to those who may find themselves in a difficult financial situation, which would otherwise prevent their child(ren) from participating in the SLPHA programs.

Financial Assistance is granted on a per season basis and must be reapplied for each year. Financial Assistance is provided in the form of reduced SLPHA registration fees.

The player’s family is still responsible for:

• Clinic fees
• Team fees
• Volunteer deposits
• Crossbar processing fees

See policy for full details.

In order to be considered for financial assistance, an application form must be completed and returned to SLPHA Treasurer prior to registration.

Each application will be reviewed by the SLPHA Finance Committee. The acceptance of financial assistance will be determined before tryouts begin.
