Level of Play Guidelines

Players are grouped in age ranges established by Minnesota Hockey to establish common size and skill levels across the state. Within each age level, certain skill levels are established so that we end up with players of like skills and size on teams and those teams play games with other teams of like size and skill. These age ranges are as follows for the upcoming season.

Players must sign up for the level in which their birth date falls. Moving down to a younger age range is not allowed. Moving up to an older age level requires that the player have a birthday in the 3 months following the cutoff date, be in the grade at school commensurate with that older range, and receive explicit written approval from the EPHA Board of Directors. Exceptions to the three month rule may be granted by the EPHA Board in order to provide adequately staffed teams at certain levels.

*Note that girls may register for any level but boys may not register for Girls' teams.P
