When does the in-house season start?  What days and how often is practice?

    - The In House season usually begins at the end of October/beginning of November.  A schedule will be sent out prior to that usually a few weeks before it begins. 

    - Levels 1 & 2 typically practice on Saturday.  There is also an optional Wednesday night ice time that is more focused on the kids playing hockey rather than doing drills, although there will be some structure to the Wednesday night ice time.  In March, because there is more ice time available, Levels 1 & 2 will have practices Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 

    - Levels 3 & 4 typically practice on Saturday and Sunday. There is also an optional Wednesday night ice time that is more focused on the kids playing hockey rather than doing drills, although there will be some structure to the Wednesday night ice time.  In March, because there is more ice time available, Levels 3 & 4 will have practices Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 

Can my skater be placed on a team with a friend?

    - We do our best to accommodate requests but please understand that is not always possible.  Level 1 & 2 is generally divided into teams based on what school they attend.  Level 3 & 4 are divided by skill level and so it will not be as easy to accommodate those requests.

How will I find out about the upcoming season?  Schedule, team, when, etc?

    - You will receive emails with further information about the upcoming season.  Much of the information can be found on the Mankato Hockey website under the Teams section.  Teams will be divided after the season starts and jerseys will be handed out in the first few weeks of the season. 

    - Information will likely be coming to your inbox a couple weeks before the season is set to start. 

When is fall hockey for in-house? 

    - Fall hockey for in-house is generally held the week before the season starts.  If your child is signed up for this you will be sent a schedule.  This session is separate from and held later than the fall hockey for traveling skaters.

Do I need to turn in a birth certificate for in house and to whom and where?

    - Each skater is required to turn in a copy of their birth certificate.  This will need to be an official birth certificate from the county, not the one from the hospital.  You will only be required to turn in the birth certificate one time.

    - The birth certificate can be mailed to the Registrar at PO Box 1262, Mankato, MN 56002 or can be emailed to registrar@mankatohockey.com

Can my player be placed at a different level than what registration allowed me to register at?  If so how?

Who is required to do fundraising?   

     - All levels of Mites are required to do fundraising.  More in formation can be found on the Fundraising page.

Is there anything I can do to help out with during the season?
