TEAM FEES

Team fees cover most of the expenses associated with being on a youth hockey team, except for personal travel, equipment, and uniforms. However, there are some variations for each team which are noted below. Team fees include in-season practice ice, games, super weekends, tournaments, and Rapids operational costs. 

***Note: OSHA (Oregon State Hockey Association) games are estimated as follows for age divisions 12U and above. To be eligible for the end of season State Tournament OSHA requires each team to play each other 4 times (2 away and 2 home). Depending on the number of teams within the age division we estimate 12-20 games played over 6-10 weekends.
