Players entering 9th grade for the Fall 2023-24 school year are eligible to play in the Utah High School Hockey Summer League. Players must register for the boundary team assigned to them per the UHSH established boundaries or the Summer League Eligibility Committee. Players who will eventually attend Bountiful High School can participate on the Bountiful Hockey Summer League JV team. Players eventually attending Woods Cross High School may be eligible as well. Contact the Trustee for Bountiful Hockey at trustee@bountifulhockey.com if you are not sure.
STEPS
1. Register your player with UHSH for summer league. This step is free. Have your player's 2022-23 USA Hockey registration number on hand to complete this step. If this is the first time the player is playing hockey, they will need to register with USA Hockey at https://membership.usahockey.com. There is a $70 fee for this registration and it is good through the summer 2023 season. The USA Hockey registration needs to be renewed annually for continued participation with Utah High School Hockey.
3. If this is the first time your player is participating in youth hockey in Utah, your player will need to submit their birth certificate for verification of their birth year. This is only requested once.
2. Send an email to the Bountiful Hockey trustee so the coaching staff can make sure to expect your player's registration. Provide the name of your player(s) who will be registering for the team as well as the player's email and mobile phone number. These will be used in the set up of your player in the BenchApp communications software. Also, provide the name(s) of parents/guardians who will need team communications.
3. Players may be required to submit proof of school enrollment to verify their team placement. You will be contacted by the team trustee or a representative of Utah High School Hockey if this is needed along with instructions on where to submit school enrollment documentation.
4. Once the team assignment is confirmed, the parent(s)/guardian(s) will receive an email invitation from BenchApp. Accept the invitation. Download BenchApp to your mobile devices and adjust settings to meet your preferences for frequency of texts and emails. All team info is available via BenchApp. All communications by a player must also include their parent/guardian or at least two adults from the team leadership. It is team's preference to have players include their parent/guardian when they "chat" with coaches , adult team leadership or other adults via BenchApp. Please help us by reminding your player of this expectation.
