Regular Season

Welcome to the Bemidji Youth Hockey family and the 2026-2027 hockey season!

We are thrilled that you and your family have chosen BYHA. We are passionate about all things hockey and are continually working to improve and be better each season.

Fundraising

Each player will be responsible for selling twenty raffle tickets at $20.00 each in order to participate (family maximum of 40 raffle tickets). You can write your own name on them to purchase them if you choose, but each player will be required to participate.

Mites/Termites/8U/6U

For those new to hockey with a young child, be sure you attend the parent meeting before the season to get up to speed with BYHA. If you have questions about what equipment to wear, what age group to attend, or anything else you can get a lot of the answers on our BYHA website under the resources tab, New to Hockey section or FAQ's.

Volunteer Hours (formerly DIBS)

Everyone will be required to turn in a $750 check for your volunteer hours at the start of the season at your player/parent meeting. If you complete your volunteer hours, the check will be shredded at the end of the year. Our goal is to have 100% participation in our volunteer/DIBS program and not have to cash any checks.

The requirement for each player this season is 15 volunteer hours, with a maximum two players per family (30 hours max). Our hockey family is awesome and it takes a village!

Fees for the 2026-2027 season

In order to have accurate numbers to determine teams, ideally registration must be completed by September 1st. This will allow us to accurately predict the number of teams we will have playing at each level and to schedule games for those teams. A large portion of games are scheduled with opposing teams in early September. Each year we struggle as players register in October right before tryouts.

Registration fees will stay the same as last year except new to hockey (6u/8u, termite, mite) will be FREE.
