Michigan Amateur Hockey Association District 6

From Ralph Bammert
Registrar, USA Hockey, Michigan District

Please inform your Associations that MAHA has mandated that all 2008-09 player registrations will have to be done on line. Let me know if you need additional information or have questions about on-line registration. Those of you that already use it I am sure will agree how quick & easy it is.

**********************************************************

Be advised that this mandate includes coaches also. This means that ALL players and coaches MUST register with USA Hockey on-line. There will be no transmittals with diskettes or CDs accepted by any registrar in the state of Michigan.

USA Hockey’s on-line registration for 2008-09 is now open and you can begin to educate your membership on how easy this procedure is. On-line registration is at www.usahockeyregistration.com/ Remember that they will need top keep a copy of the confirmation for their own use in case they skate with another association next spring. A copy of that confirmation comes to the association or independent team registration to scan into the respective CyberSport system.

Link to Background Check

MAHA Background Check

The Background Check form on the www.maha.org website has now been updated to allow participants to get a duplicate copy of their background check that they previously submitted for the 2007-08 hockey season until September 1, 2008. This will come in handy if a person has lost or misplaced their form and wishes to join a post season team. These duplicate copies expire on August 31, 2008. After that, each person will need to re-apply for the 2008-09 season by going on-line at www.maha.org and filling out the form again. The 2008-09 background check will go on-line later this summer. 100% participation is expected by associations and teams for the 2008-09 season for all coaches, team managers, and association/independent team board members. To get a duplicate copy you will need to revisit the Background Check form on the MAHA website.
