2025-2026 Evaluation Information/Registration (New Hamburg Hockey Association)

SPRING EVALUATIONS (TRYOUTS) FOR NHHA 2025-2026 A, B and BB TEAMS

Spring Evaluations (formerly called Tryouts) for our U10 to U16 A, B and U16 BB teams will
begin in May.

More information will be available soon on U7 MD, U8 MD, U9 MD and U18 A and U18 B Evaluations.

Spring Evaluation dates are now posted on our website but are subject to change. Please continue
to monitor the website.

We’re also offering optional Skill Development Skates for each age group from U10 to U16
ahead of the first Evaluation. These skates, along with the Body Checking Clinic (for players
born in 2012 and 2011), are only open to players registered with NHHA for the 2024-2025
season. We are not permitted to let any players who did not play for the NHHA in 2024-2025
attend these sessions.

Current NHHA players can REGISTER HERE for the Development Skates and Body
Checking Clinic. Please note that space is limited, but we’ll do our best to add more times and
sessions for waitlisted age groups.

Evaluation (tryout) registration is now open. The fee for all players seeking to register for our
Evaluations is $85.00. This is non-refundable. Registration space is not guaranteed so sign up
soon!

EVALUATION STORE FOR CURRENT/HOMETOWN NHHA PLAYERS HERE
(This does not include our current NRPs or Local League players not resident in our boundaries)
(This does include NHHA players who were playing elsewhere in 2024-2025 as NRP,
REVERSE NRP or at AAA).

Registration for NHHA Hometown players includes both our A and B (or BB at U16) Evaluations.
Please let us know if you do not intend to attend our A Evaluations so that we can adjust our
waitlists accordingly.

With the changes to Open Borders (OHF link here), Non-hometown players are welcome to
register for our A Evaluations. NHHA will permit each of our A teams to roster up to 5 non-
hometown players. Our B teams will be taking hometown players only.

EVALUATION STORE FOR NON-HOMETOWN PLAYERS HERE
(this includes current NRPs and local league players who are not resident in our boundaries).

Please note you must register in the proper store. We will cancel all improper registrations and
ask that they be re-completed properly.

Evaluation space is limited. Players may be placed onto a waitlist initially upon seeking to
register for our Evaluations. Confirmation will follow in due course to confirm space available for
attendance at the Evaluations. We will be monitoring the waitlist and doing our best to
accommodate the attendance of all non-hometown players who wish to be evaluated for our A
teams. However, we cannot provide guarantees.

Development Skates, please contact:
