MONTHLY TRAVEL ICE FEES 

Teams set their own monthly ice fee and select the method of payment they prefer to use to collect monthly ice payments.  These options include paying online or by personal check/cash.    While PHMHA oversees the team accounts, the teams are ultimately in charge of their own finances and will determine when to suspend a player for late payments. Players with outstanding team balances will be referred to PHMHA for further collection intervention if needed.  Any player with outstanding balances may be subject to collections activity and/or MAHA sanctioning, as noted below. 

MONTHLY HOUSE ICE FEES 

Monthly ice fees are set before the season by PHMHA.  Season payments are divided into five equal installments beginning in September with the last payment in January. These fees are to be paid online in full, OR paid online in installments as defined each season. Ice fees can be paid with Discover, MasterCard, Visa, or Pay-Pal.    

The parent and/or parent(s) or guardian(s) of the player have two options for payment. 

• Pay in Full at registration
• Player Payment Plan - Initial Deposit: Initial deposit is due upon registering. Players save $50.00 if the initial deposit of $225 is paid upon registration and the deposit is paid before 7/31/2022. The remaining balance is divided up equally and due on the first of each of the following months and no later than the 5th of the following months Sept-Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan.   
• A $35 late fee will be accessed to any monthly payment that is paid after the 15th of the month's Sept-Dec.

 

WITHDRAW (DROP) POLICY FOR HOUSE AND TRAVEL PLAYERS

Per the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA), if a player leaves or is removed from the team/association, the player’s parent or legal guardian is responsible for the total yearly ice fee based on the following schedule:

This policy applies in all cases where the player leaves the team/association (i.e. injury, school, moving, loss of interest, High school, etc.).  This applies to all players, House and Travel. There are no refunds of registration fees, except where noted.  

PLAYER DROP DATES

Players who are dropping from a team must notify the Head Coach and PHMHA Office within 72hrs so that an official MAHA Player Release form can be completed.  The form must be signed by the player, the player’s parent or guardian, and the team Head Coach.   The drop date for a player will be the date of the initial notice to PHMHA from the parent or the date of last participation in any team event, whichever is later.  A team event is defined as any game, practice, workout, or any other team gathering, in which was on the team’s schedule that the dropping player attended.   All fees must be paid per the policies above to be released from a PHMHA Team. (i.e. if a player drops on December 15th, the entire ice fee bill must be paid before the player will be released.) For every 30 days that pass after an official release, the request is received and the entire stated balance is not received, a $35 fee is assessed and collection proceedings will begin. 

 OUTSTANDING BALANCES 

ANY HOUSE PLAYER WITH AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE AFTER JAN 15TH WILL BE REMOVED FROM THEIR TEAMS ROSTER AND UNABLE TO SKATE UNTIL PAYMENT IS MADE. ANY REMAINING BALANCE OWED AS OF JANUARY 15TH  WILL BE ASSESSED A 15% LATE FEE THAT WILL BE COMPOUNDED EVERY THIRTY DAYS THAT THE ACCOUNT IS PAST DUE AND COLLECTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BEGIN. 

All past due ice payments will be reviewed by the PHMHA Board of Directors.  Upon review and verification of the amount owed, the PHMHA Board reserves the right to file in the local District Court for a judgment of the amount owed against the player's parents or legal guardians for monies owed, plus any legal expense for filing the judgment. MAHA will be notified of all players who have a balance owed.  Non-payment of PHMHA fees may impact a player’s ability to register and become a member of another MAHA affiliate. PHMHA reserves the right to amend and/or accelerate the ice payment options in certain instances of late payments or non-compliance with the terms of this agreement.  Any player with an outstanding balance will not be allowed to return to the PHMHA or register for any subsequent seasons until all monies have been paid in full.
