I hope you are healthy and safe.

The 2021-2022 hockey season is fast approaching and when the hockey season begins it is anticipated that youth and adult games will be USA Hockey sanctioned with no Illinois Department of Public Health restrictions. The only way to work sanctioned games is to be completely registered.

USA Hockey will open its registration sometime in June and IHOA registration will begin on July 6th; the seminars will be starting soon after that. The Level 1 seminar this year will be a hybrid of virtual and on-ice with ALL safety practices in place. The Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 seminars will all be done via Zoom. It will be in your best interest to have your seminars and USA Hockey requirements completed as soon as possible. Therefore when competitive play begins, you will be ready to hit the ice skating.

Let us look forward to a healthy and great hockey season.

IHOA Registrar
