Starting in 2010 we implemented a volunteer program to make it easy to sign up for and track volunteer opportunities within the association. The program we use is called "Dibs" and you will see tab in the top level navigation to the far right on the website.  Registration for the Dibs program is automatic and part of your player registration.  To review the full policy and its requirements, click the link below:

Please review the instructions on the ONLINE REGISTRATION page to familiarize yourself with the process. Registration closes September 9th, after which a $100 penalty will be assessed for late registration (does NOT apply to Mites).

Please review the fees and Age Level Chart carefully below prior to starting the registration process. You MUST register according to the Age Chart. Move-ups will be dealt with offline and may require additional fees depending upon the change in level. Also please note that we are passing along the credit card and transaction fees that are a cost on any credit card transaction. These amount to 3.25%+$1.50 per transaction.

Registration for Mites is open. The first ice times begin in mid-October. MWHA understands that with younger children the decision to play can be at the last minute or even after the season has started. We want to encourage all who wish to try hockey for the first time, so there is no late registration fee.

Players not registered are not covered by USA Hockey and will not be allowed on the ice -- no exceptions. Additionally, any parents who wish to coach need to have their Level 1 USA Hockey Certification by Dec. 31 to be on the ice. Visit the Coaches page for more information.

This program, offered by Westonka Community Education & Services in collaboration with the Mound Westonka Hockey Association (MWHA), is designed to teach children the ABC’S of skating…Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed. Children will learn how to get up after they fall down, proper body position and much more. This program will be led by instructors from the MWHA who are certified by USA Hockey. In addition, parent participation is encouraged! All participants will be required to bring skates and a helmet. Each session will last 50 minutes. Students will be grouped according to age and ability level.

This program is strongly encouraged for first-year Mites or anyone entering organized hockey for the first time.  Additionally, this program is perfect for preparing 4-year olds for the MWHA Mite program next year.
