House (Recreational) A/B
IF INTERESTED IN REGISTERING FOR HOUSE HOCKEY PLEASE CONTACT HEATHER, officemanager@mustanghockey.com for availability in the division you are interested in.
Our Recreational/House Program is for players aged 9-18. Depending on quantity of players at evaluations, and skill level, each age group can be divided into 2 levels: Tier III (House/Rec A) and Tier IV (House B). All players register at the Tier IV level. The required registration fee for the season is $1150.
Players register and attend evaluations for placement in September. Players selected for the Tier III (House A) level have an additional fee of $300 (additional ice time, games, etc.). Players not selected (or those choosing not to be evaluated) will automatically be placed at the Tier IV (House B) level. Information on 8U hockey can be found under the 8U Mite tab under 'Programs'.
