Unfortunately our intended alliance with Coon Rapids Youth Hockey Association did not receive approval from District 10. However, we have been able to secure a confirmed Mite co-op agreement with Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association again this year.  This agreement does come with the benefit of providing our players and families with some consistency and a familiar and outstanding environment for player development. Player families should do the following to participate in the NMYHA and ACYHA co-op program.

1. Register your skater with USA hockey, following the directions below: https://membership.usahockey.com/
2. Register with North Metro and pay the Mite registration fee: https://nmyha.sportngin.com/register/form/143993936
3. Register with ACYHA with their streamlined, no charge process: https://armstrongcooperhockey.sportngin.com/register/form/309075156
4. Attend one of the two NMYHA open house dates.

Mite skaters will only be responsible for DIBS (Volunteer Hours) and fundraising with North Metro.

Do not hesitate to contact the Mite Director (mitedirector@nmyha.com) with any questions!

For all first year mite players, please contact the Registration Director (registrar@nmyha.com) or Mite Director (mitedirector@nmyha.com) to request the "First Year Skater Discount Code" prior to registering with North Metro.

For anyone who plans to coach this year, whether it be Head Coach or Assistant Coach, please see the following requirements (these need to be fulfilled before you can be on the ice assisting the children).  These should be completed and sent immediately:

Once all the above have been turned in and approved you will then be eligible to participate this season. Coaches who have not submitted the required information by the due date cannot be placed on the initial roster and therefore cannot participate with the team, on the ice or on the bench. Once you have been placed on a team roster, NMYHA Treasurer will receive confirmation from NMYHA Registrar; USA Hockey fee can be refunded as per the Financial Policy & Procedures.
