Teams play 16-22 league games from mid-October to mid-February (includes a preseason for divisional seating). Games are typically played on the weekend. Your team may also participate in 1-3 weekend tournaments over the year which offer a total of 30 games/season. Tournaments are pay-to-play and are around $100 per player to register. Many teams hold fundraises to offset costs.

USA Hockey Membership ($15-70 per year, depending on age) is required prior to registration with our program. Click here to register. If players elect to participate in supplemental tournaments, they are responsible for tournament entry fees and/or travel expenses.

Players must purchase our club jerseys, as needed. Fittings occur at the rink in late spring (usually May) and can be purchased through our Team Shop.

At EIHC, we hold the conviction that financial barriers should never sideline a child’s dream of playing hockey. We are dedicated to supporting families and skaters through funding and scholarship opportunities that help cover the costs of participation.

For those who need it, we offer alternative payment plans tailored to fit different financial situations. These options are part of our commitment to ensure that no child is left out due to economic hardship.

We encourage open communication and are here to assist with any concerns regarding finances. If you have any questions about payment plans or scholarships, please don’t hesitate to contact our President at eihcpresident@gmail.com or Secretary at elyriahockey@gmail.com
