Players selected will incur an additional fee (approximately $850 - $950 for a standard rostered team; however, final fees will depend on number of rostered players as well as practice/training, ice, and tournament fees).

Upon making the team, each player will be asked to pay a $300 commitment deposit. Final payment will be due no later than July 31.

Fees include practice sessions (on ice and off ice), game ice / referees, The Spot related expenses, Heatwave Arena sessions and tournament registration fees.

Fees for 10U and older teams do NOT include jerseys/socks, equipment, or travel-related expenses such as gas, food, lodging, etc. which are paid separately by each player. Please note that most tournaments expect a two-night hotel stay minimum for players.

*Costs for the Development Team are in addition to Blue Jacket Hockey League fees.

All practices will be half-ice.

On Ice

Summer – Offseason: Due to ice limitations in central Ohio, Development teams will practice on ice on average 6x times a season at the various OhioHealth Chillers.

Season: Due to ice limitations in central Ohio, players on development teams will practice with their Blue Jacket Hockey League teams. If ice becomes available, it will be offered to Development teams for practices. This may or may not be a reality depending on ice availability.

We are partnered with Heatwave Arena and will utilize their rink throughout the season to alleviate the on-ice constraints.

Off Ice

During the season, Development teams will have weekly team off ice training sessions at The Spot Athletics (https://www.thespotathletics.com/

Games: Due to ice limitations at the Chiller, we anticipate that each team will have budget to schedule 2 home games.

Tournaments: Anticipated 3 – 5 tournaments will be scheduled for each team. Out of town travel will be required.

Exact Tournament Weekends are TBD and will be published once finalized.

Overall game estimate: 20-30 games.

10U and older: Players in this program must purchase CCYHA home and away jerseys and socks from the CCYHA vendor. These costs are not included in the team fees and must be paid by each family upon ordering. Ordering is done immediately after tryouts in addition to other items such as warmups.
