2018-2019 Coaching Registration and Requirements scheduling is upon us!  Coaches are among the most important part of BAHA, and without them leading the teams, developing players individually and shaping the culture wouldn't be possible.  

Please note that ALL coaches and On-Ice Volunteers MUST complete steps 1-5 BEFORE stepping on the ice or bench:

1. USA Hockey Registration
2. BAHA Coaching Registration
3. VASHA Background Check
4. SafeSport Training
5. USA Hockey Age Specific Module
    (6. USA Hockey Coaching Education Program by 12/31/18)

Please visit our Coaches' Section page for more information and to start the process.  

Dates and times for upcoming modules can be found on the Coaches' page as well.

BAHA serves the towns of Burlington, Colchester and Winooski as designated by the Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association (VSAHA).  If you are a resident of another city or town and wish to register with BAHA, please contact the BAHA Registrar Karen Poulin 922-6580 or dkpoulin@comcast.net

Late Fee: BAHA has instituted a $75 Late Fee for players in the 10U, 12U, and 14U programs that register after 8/12/18.  The VSAHA Scheduler's meeting is mid-August and we need to know our numbers so that we can accurately schedule and have the correct number of teams and divisions.  You can register now with only a $25 deposit and a payment plan can start in August. Payments will be automatically charged on August 15th, September 15th and October 15th or you can pay in full at anytime.

Thank you for your understanding!

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: It is recommended that skaters at all levels have full gear: skates, helmet, elbow pads, neck guard, shin guards, hockey pants, chest protector and gloves.
