Everyone
Registers with
The very first step for all players (and all coaches) who are going to be
members of Tompkins Girls Hockey Association (TGHA) this year is to register
with USA Hockey using the online process. This is mandatory before anyone
goes on the ice for their first time of the season whether that is for
Preseason Practices or the start of the season at the end of October. Go
to www.usahockey.
Financial
Aid Requests
As an
organization, TGHA works to keep member fees as low as possible. We offer
two check payment plans as well as half time and quarter time options for
the House programs. Financial aid is also available; funds are limited so it is
recommended that interested members complete the financial aid process as soon
as possible. Download form from:
