All GTHA hockey members are required to FIRST join USA Hockey.

USA Hockey Registration

Once your player has their USA Hockey number, they can then register for GTHA.  The registration period typically opens in early July.

GTHA Hockey Registration

All players are slotted into their appropriate birth year except in unique circumstances. See Move Up Policy for further details.

If your player is 9 and up, they are eligible to tryout for our competitive travel and girls teams.

The travel hockey program is the portion of GTHA that gives the more skilled or dedicated player an opportunity to learn to play the game at a higher level.  These teams are selected on a tryout basis. Tryouts are held in May of the prior season for all levels except Squirt A (tryouts are in August.) Please visit the appropriate travel or girls team pages for more information on tryouts.

House hockey is the recreational program for youth in the Grand Traverse area.  House players complete two draft skates in September and then teams are built equally based on coach evaluations.

There are six levels in youth hockey prior to a player possibly joining a high school team.
