Fees
Click for Invoice
All participants will be required to pay participation fees. The only exceptions to this requirement will be the extent to which particular players and their families are eligible for (subject to Board approval) Injury Credits, Multiple Player Discounts or Scholarships.
Final Fees for a season are not determined until final rosters are set. The fee structure for the various levels may vary from season to season depending upon enrollment, number of leagues and other factors.
Registration/Tryout/Rostering/Late Fees
All players trying out for a Travel Team will be required to pay a $150.00 Registration/Tryout fee. Registration/Tryout fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Players that have past due tuition balances from the prior season will not be allowed to try out until outstanding balances have been paid in full or satisfactory payment arrangements have been made with the association's Treasurer. Please note that new to the policy for 2004-2005, a $250 non-refundable and non-transferable "Rostering fee" will be due by July 15th in order for a player to 1) secure their place on a travel team roster and 2) to be allowed to participate when the season commences in the Fall. Registration and Rostering fees will be applied to a player's overall participation fees for the season.
Registration/Tryout and Rostering fees must be paid in full, when due, for each participant, regardless of whether a multiple player discount may ultimately apply. Multiple player discounts will be reflected on a player's outstanding balance after October 1st, the date by which the program is required to submit all Travel Team rosters to Mass Hockey. In addition, late registrations will be subject to a $30 late fee.

Any player with an outstanding balance in excess of 15 days past a scheduled due date will not be allowed to return to his or her respective team until the balance is paid or satisfactory arrangements have been made with the program's Treasurer. If you anticipate any difficulty in meeting the payment schedule, you must notify the program's Treasurer as soon as possible. Requests for alternative payment plans will be kept strictly confidential. Midget players must be paid in full prior to participating for their respective team. There will be a $20 fee assessed for any returned check.
Payment Address
All payments should be sent to:
Masconomet Youth Hockey Association, Inc.
P.O. Box 2244 Dept.#3
Lynn, MA 01903-2244
Refund Policy
The payment schedule and policies of Masco Youth Hockey are very reflective of other youth hockey organizations in Massachusetts in the sense that the program requires members to pay their participation fees in full soon after the season commences. This reflects the fact that a significant portion of the association's operating expenses come due early in the season. Accordingly, Registration/Tryout fees and Rostering Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. If a player withdraws from the program before midnight on the last day of September then that player will be eligible for a refund of 50% of their September 1st tuition payment. If a player withdraws from the program before midnight on the last day of October then that player will be eligible for a refund of 50% of their October 1st tuition payment. In either instance, the program's Treasurer or President must be notified by telephone or in writing by the last day of September or October, respectively. No refunds will be issued to any player who decides to withdraw from the program after October 31st and as such any player still in the program after October 31st will be required to meet the program's full tuition requirements for the season unless the player's circumstances are reviewed and approved as a special hardship case by the Board of Directors.
Injury Credit Policy
If a player is unable to participate because of illness or injury, hockey related or not, he/she may be eligible for a monetary injury credit subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors. The following criteria will be used when evaluating a player's eligibility for an injury credit:
1. The injury/illness must be at least 3 weeks duration.
2. The injury/illness must be verified in writing by a physician. If these criteria are met and the BOD approves the credit, the dollar amount will be determined by using the participation fees for that level, net of Registration and Rostering fees, divided by the number of weeks in the season and multiplied by the number of weeks the player has missed.
Multiple Player Discount Policy (Travel Team Players Only)
Any family with three or more children playing on MYH travel teams during the same season is eligible for a multi-player discount. The family will be required to pay 100% of the two highest tuitions but will receive a 50% discount on the third (lowest) tuition. In the event a family has four or more children playing on MYH travel teams during the same season, the tuition of the 4th and any additional siblings will be waived. All discounts will be reviewed and applied (or refunded if appropriate) after MYH has submitted travel team rosters to MA Hockey. MYH submits these rosters in early October. The multi-player discount only applies to children playing on MYH travel teams. The multi-player discount will not be applied to siblings participating in Learn to Skate, Intro to Hockey, Spring Challenge or House League.
Scholarships
Depending upon overall program enrollment and circumstances, limited scholarship opportunities may exist from year to year. Anyone wishing to explore or discuss scholarship opportunities should contact the program's Treasurer directly.
