JYH News & Updates - August 4, 2025
2025-2026 Season Registration
Registration for the 2025-2026 Season is open! With the move to the Woodman’s Sports & Convention Center, we’ve revamped a few policies and created some new opportunities for players.
Here are a few high-level notes on registration this year:
- There was a slight fee reduction at all levels.
- Registration fees will INCREASE by $100 on August 11, 2025, and there will be a hard registration cutoff on August 31, 2025. This deadline will allow enough time for us to plan for teams and work on schedules with rink management.
- With changes to ticketing for the Janesville Jets, the ticket package included with registration in previous years will no longer be available. We’re exploring other opportunities to ensure our players are able to attend Jets games at an affordable rate.
- Each team will be guaranteed two on-ice practice times each week! In previous seasons, teams typically dropped to one practice per week due to ice availability once the high school hockey season starts.
- We are working on coordinating an optional "3rd Skills Only" ice touch for most of the season, for a reasonable price that will be run by some of the finest skills coaches in the area.
- The board agreed to continue offering the first year of girls travel hockey (6U and up) for FREE. The club achieved great success with this program in growing the game, and expects that success to continue with the new WSCC opening.
- As most of our members are aware, the club will no longer be running the concession stand at the rink. With this change, the board reviewed the Volunteer Policy to align with our strategic goals and initiatives. The updated policy is available online to review: https://www.janesvilleyouthhockey.com/parent-resources/dibs-volunteering/8935.
- Back to Hockey Night is scheduled for September 11, 2025 at Craig High School.
- 6U and 8U - 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
- 10U, 12U, and 14U - 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
- All families who attend Back to Hockey Night will receive 1 volunteer hour.
