The PAC-8 requires players to be full-time students, which is 12 credits for
undergraduates and 9 credits for graduate students. ACHA requires that its players
carry and pass a minimum of 9 credits per semester, maintaining a
minimum of a 2.0 cumulative grade point average at all times to be eligible
to play. Players falling below the criteria will be ineligible to play until their
academic performance improves.
All players must wear full equipment for tryouts, practice and game
including a NCAA-approved facemask. Before the beginning of the first
tryout session, players must pay a $75 tryout fee. No one will be
allowed on the ice before the tryout fee is paid. Any player who has
outstanding dues from past seasons will also not be allowed to tryout
until the past dues are paid.
The first organizational meeting is usually held a week before classes start. BRING A PEN! You will need to fill out information
sheets, IMA club sports forms, ACHA forms and more at the meeting. All tryouts will be held at Olympicview Arena located in Mountlake
Terrace, WA. It is approximately 10-15 minutes north of the campus.
Fees: Fees for the season are $2000 per player, plus travel and uniforms.
$900 is due at or before the first practice (date to be determined). Players
will not be allowed on the ice until this first installment is made in full.
Tryouts costs will be applied to the year total once you make the
team, or applied to the cost of Team Husky if you choose to play on that
team. Team uniforms rental fee (home & away jersey and socks) is $90
and must be paid prior to the first practice. Travel costs will be for
approximately 3 flights to California, 4-5 driving road trips, plus hotels and
food. Players are responsible for all travel costs. We do our best to car
pool, share hotels rooms and get the best flight deals in order to deter
those costs. However, please be prepared to have a minimum of $800 or
more set aside for travel before the season starts.
Games: We will play approximately 32 games this year on the West
Coast, competing as part of the ACHA’s Division II, and PAC-8 Conference.
Equipment: You must provide your own equipment. We prefer that all
players have black pants, helmets and gloves. |
