z - Registration Info - 2023 - 2024

   

Last updated June 7th, 2023. ALL INFORMATION is SUBJECT TO CHANGE according to regulations released by the HNS Female Council

NEW this season:

  • Players may be wait-listed during the registration process, as we monitor the number of players and projected teams per age division. Our intention is always to provide a place for everyone to play, but we also hope to find alternatives to more than 15 skaters per team. Register early!
  • A late fee of $75 will be applied to all U11 - U18 registrations after the August 15th deadline.
  • Options for Preseason Development Sessions and U13/U15 Evaluations: We hope these changes will provide a positive environment for players at both preseason development sessions and evaluations as well as provide families with more flexibility during the busy fall season. Click HERE for detailed information and to see the potential schedule template for September 2023. 
  • New to MEIFHA this season? First -time hockey players, players and volunteers joining MEIFHA for the first time due to moves or transfer requests, please refer to the information HERE.

Goaltender Development Initiative: HALF-PRICE REGISTRATION* for ALL GOALTENDERS U11 - U18
 
During the 2022-23 season, MEIFHA introduced an exciting NEW pilot program. Recognizing that goaltenders are essential to the game of hockey, we wanted to ensure that we at Metro East Inferno cultivate, encourage and support these players in developing their skills. With the success of the program, we would like to continue to encourage ANY and ALL FEMALE  goaltenders within our region of Cole Harbour, Dartmouth, East Hants and Eastern Shore to come play FEMALE hockey with us in 2023-24!  Female players interested in exploring the position for the first time are also welcome to come try it out! 
    • *Evaluation and Preseason Development Session fees will not be discounted
    • All goaltenders will be responsible for their share of all team-related fees for the season
    • Goaltenders must agree to remain in the position until at least November 15th, at which time any who choose to play 'out' will be required to pay a pro-rated/adjusted registration fee set on a case by case basis.
    • Please note: Instalment fee of $25 is not included in the discount
    • Late registration fee of $75 will be applied after August 15th, 2023.
We also have some goaltender equipment available for use at the U9 and U11 levels. Please contact Scott Wadden meifha.U13@gmail.com for more information on goalie equipment.
 

What is the difference between RECreational (REC) and REPresentative (REP) hockey? 

Players can choose to go directly to RECreational C teams or may be assigned there following REPresentative evaluations. Click HERE to see a comparison of REC VS. REP hockey. 

MEIFHA plans on offering the following teams for the 2023 - 2024 season:
  • U7 - Introductory Program *NEW* if numbers support a team
  • U9 - Intermediate & Developing
  • U11 - REP 'AA' & 'A' - REC 'C'
  • U13 - REP 'AAA' & 'AA' & 'A' - REC 'C' *NEW* if numbers support a team

  • U18 - REP 'AA' & 'A'  - note we do not plan to offer a U18 REC 'C' league team at this time

When does my player need to register for/participate in Evaluations?

NO EVALUATIONS to play U7, U9, U11C, U13C, U15A or U18A:

  • U7 & U9 Development/Intermediate: no separate evaluations are held, possible balancing.
  • U11C & U13C (REC): no separate evaluations required, possible balancing.
  • U15A & U18A (REP), as long as we do not offer U15/U18C (REC): no separate evaluations required, possible balancing.

YES EVALUATIONS, if they'd like to be considered to play U11AA/A, U13AAA/AA/A, U15AAA/AA or U18AA:

  • U11AA & U11A (REP) Hopefuls: U11AA Evaluations required.
  • U13AAA (REP) Hopefuls: AAA Evaluations required.
  • U13AA & U13A (REP) Hopefuls: AA Evaluations required, AAA Evaluations optional.

Please note: All players wishing to be evaluated for REP hockey MUST SELECT EVALUATIONS DURING the REGISTRATION process and pay the additional fee to be guaranteed a spot in the process. See the proposed schedule template for September 2023 HERE.

 

What is the difference between Evaluations & Balancing?

'AAA' & 'AA' & 'A' Representative (REP) Player Evaluations may consist of skills session(s)/small area game(s)/intrasquad game(s)/practice(s) to determine 'AAA' & 'AA'  & 'A' REP team placement.  Please note the level of REP play differs for each age group.  Take note which REP teams are availablee for your player, referring to the chart above.  Players may choose not to participate in the REP evaluation process and be placed directly onto a recreational (REC) team, or 'A' level REP teams if no REC 'C' team is offered in a given age division, but may still be required to complete Balancing depending on the number of MEIFHA teams in any given season.  Please note:  For 2023-24 U15 & U18 players may choose to be placed directly on a 'A' team as no REC 'C' teams will be offered.

Balancing is the process whereby players are evaluated to enable all teams within the same division be given equal opportunity to compete. It may consist of practice(s) and/or intrasquad game(s).  Balancing is essential to ensure all players have similar experiences throughout the season and will occur at any level with sufficient numbers to warrant multiple teams within a division in our association. 

Special Note for U18 Major Hopefuls:

If you are competing for a spot in the Maritime Major Female Hockey League (MMFHL) MEIFHA requests that you contact our VP Administration at vpadmin@metroeastinferno.ca to announce your U18 Major bid and to confirm your possible participation in the MEIFHA REP Evaluation process, no later than August 1st, 2023.  Once the U18 Major Team Selection Process has been completed, you must register with MEIFHA in order to proceed to MEIFHA REP Evaluations for U18 'AA.'  Players registering after the deadline, due to late release from the U18 Major process should contact vpadmin@metroeastinferno.ca before registering, if they wish to join Preseason Development Sessions.  This can only be accommodated if space permits. The deadline for U18 Major Hopefuls to register for the MEIFHA U18 'AA' REP Evaluation process will be one day following the final team announcement or **September 9th 2023: TBD - whichever comes first.

**Every effort will be made to hold U18AA Evaluations AFTER U18 Major teams are named.
