ONLINE TEAM DECLARATION FAQ
2024-25 Season

This FAQ will give you some background and basic information about the Team Declaration process.

Online registration allows individuals to register directly with USA Hockey at usahockeyregistration.com. The USA Hockey fee and Affiliate fees, if applicable, are paid online with a credit card. The USA Hockey Waiver of Liability, Concussion Acknowledgement and SafeSport Policies Acknowledgement are completed during registration. A confirmation email is sent to the member immediately after the online registration. The member should keep or print the confirmation number to provide to the local program in order to complete the registration process.
The ACHA team declaration process is the first step in registering for the ACHA for the 24-25 season.
Each ACHA team for the 24-25 season must be declared individually to ensure accurate information for each team.
Yes, you can pay your ACHA team dues for the 24-25 season by credit card in the team declaration process.
Yes, you can print an invoice for your ACHA team dues for the 24-25 season.
Each person/parent needs to be responsible for processing their own registration or their child’s registration. The adult participant registering or the parent of a youth participant must be present to acknowledge the USA Hockey Waiver of Liability, Concussion Acknowledgement and SafeSport Policies Acknowledgement. If they are not present, you will have to process and complete a paper Waiver of Liability and Acknowledgement form.
We strongly encourage all programs to have coaches process their own individual registration. If your program pays for a coach registration, you can reimburse the coach during the season. By having your coaches complete their own registration online, they will be acknowledging the waivers and each coach will have his/her confirmation page. The coach will need this confirmation page to access the SafeSport Training, Screening, Coaching Education and if they go to another program to participate as a player.
Just because someone has a confirmation page and has paid the USA Hockey and Affiliate fee does not obligate the program to accept him/her. The following statement appears on the confirmation page: “This receipt does not guarantee your membership in any local program or placement on a team.”
The confirmation page is available to print at the time of registration and emailed to you immediately following the registration process. A duplicate can be requested online at usahockeyregistration.com on the home screen. To request a duplicate confirmation you need to enter last name, date of birth and zip code that you registered with in order to print the confirmation page or email it to the address you enter.
USA Hockey does not require the program to keep a copy of the confirmation page. It is only needed for the program to process the confirmation number into the Local Program Registry.
