2026-2027 U13 AAA Spring ID Camp

U13 AAA SPRING ID CAMP – APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN
We are pleased to open applications for the U13 AAA Spring ID Camp. Due to limited ice availability, we do not have enough ice to allocate all applications- meaning this ID Camp will be invite-only. All applications will be reviewed by the coaches of the 2026–2027 U13 AAA team, and they will determine which players are invited to attend.
📍 DATES: May 1st- 3rd
🗓 APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 1st
Players who are invited will receive a registration link to secure their spot. Once received, you will have 24 hours to register. If the spot is not secured within 24 hours, the link will be sent to the next player in line.
PLEASE NOTE: Only apply if you are genuinely interested in playing on the U13 AAA team. This Spring ID Camp will serve as part of the official evaluation process.

Rep Teams Player Movement (Redcliff and Irvine Minor Hockey)

As we prepare for the 2025–2026 minor hockey season, Medicine Hat, Irvine, and Redcliff Minor Hockey Associations have come together to establish a consistent and collaborative approach to player movement and registration. The attached memo outlines the agreed-upon process for the upcoming season and reflects our joint commitment to fairness and alignment with Hockey Alberta guidelines.

Please note: this agreement confirms that all Redcliff and Irvine players who attend AAA or AA tryouts and are not selected for either of those teams, will return to their home associations.

25/26 MHMHA Season Updates

We’re excited to kick off another great year with MHMHA. We want to thank all our players, families, coaches, and volunteers for their ongoing support and commitment. Please take a moment to review the following key information to help ensure a smooth and successful start to the season. We will send more updates and information throughout the summer.
Pant Shell Program
Based on feedback from last season regarding inconsistent pant shell colours and delayed delivery times, MHMHA has partnered with Source to ensure that official pant shells are available and in stock for all rep teams, including AA, CAHL, and RMFHL. Families can now go directly into the store and leave with the approved shells without waiting for delivery. Shells will be available for in-store purchase after evaluations are complete.
The designs have been finalized and approved, and all colours now meet MHMHA standards. One of the main goals of this program is to reduce unnecessary costs for families who previously felt the need to purchase new shells each season. These shells will be the official MHMHA pantshells for the next few years, minimizing yearly expenses.
Evaluations and Rosters
All rep team rosters will be posted the day following Black and White games, no later than 4:00 PM on our website. The evaluation process will follow the same structure as last year for AA, CAHL and RMFHL. Full details are outlined in our Player Evaluation Policy, which can be accessed on our website. We will continue to use Team Genius to collect evaluation data. Only the General Manager and President have access to this software. They will review the data nightly to ensure consistency and accuracy throughout the evaluation period.
Coaching Assignments and Certification
At this time, no coaches have been selected for AA, CAHL, or RMFHL teams. All individuals who applied are encouraged to attend as many skates as possible to observe. For those who applied for U7 or U9 coaching positions, their names and contact information have been forwarded to the Director of Intro to Hockey. Similarly, anyone interested in coaching City League has had their information sent to the Director of City League.
All prospective coaches are encouraged to begin working on the required certifications as early as possible. The office becomes extremely busy later in the season with certification inquiries, and coaches can save time by starting early. Certification details can be found here: https://www.hockeyalberta.ca/coaches/clinic-information/

Evaluation Conduct and Contact Information
Please follow the same conduct guidelines as last season during evals. Parents are not permitted to speak with or sit near evaluators during any sessions. Evaluators have also been instructed not to engage with spectators.

 U15 City League Pilot Program
This season, we will be piloting a new format for U15 City League. Teams will receive one practice and two games per week as part of this trial. The goal is to evaluate the impact of additional gameplay on development and overall experience.
Scheduling and City League Draft
Evaluation schedules for all age groups and categories will be sent out in the coming weeks. Once the City League evaluation guidelines has been completed, further information will be shared with all relevant participants.
Registration Outlook
Our registration numbers are strong heading into the season.

2025-2026 SET (AAA) Registration Info

To our MHMHA community,

You will notice that the registration fees for AAA are aligned similarly with our AA and CAHL rep teams. While the structure differs from SEAC- where they set annual team fees upfront, for the 2025-2026 season AAA teams will use the same framework as our AA teams (user-pay).

The AAA Head Coach and staff will have full discretion over what additional funds may be needed throughout the season. The MHMHA Board will maintain oversight of all operating financials to ensure clarity.

Unlike the SEAC model, where a set fee was determined and collected upfront, we do not yet have enough operational data within our new structure to accurately predict all team related costs in advance.

As a result, this season will be used to evaluate and better understand the actual expenses associated with running AAA teams. The information gathered from our three teams this year will allow us to establish a more accurate and appropriate fee structure for the 2026–2027 season.

To help our AAA teams hit the ground running, we have already begun preparations for necessary items such as practice jerseys, apparel, showcase deposits and other team essentials. These will be additional costs to families once the teams are formed.

We hope this update helps clarify the financial structure and expectations for the upcoming season. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hannah Davidson

General Manager, MHMHA
