Goalie Retention and Recruiting CYHA GOALIE PROGRAM 7/28/2019

Registration Discount All CYHA goalies receive a discount off memberships at signup. Depending on the level, this discount ranges from 33% to 55% of registration fees.

CYHA Supplied Goalie Equipment Goalie equipment will be supplied for all Mite/U8 levels. Extra available pads can be used by Squirt/U10 level goalies at no cost.

Equipment Reimbursement CYHA understands the financial impact the goalie position can be and will help offset the cost of equipment for goalies. The reimbursement of equipment will vary based on the level of play. The figures listed below are equal to approximately half of the estimated cost of a full set of equipment for that level of play as determined by the CYHA Goalie Director and approved by the CYHA board. The breakdown is as follows.

U16, Junior Gold, Bantam, U15  Will receive an equipment reimbursement of $1,300. Peewee, U12  Will receive an equipment reimbursement of $900. Squirt, U10  Will receive an equipment reimbursement of $425.

Items will need to be purchased first, and then turn in the receipt for reimbursement. The reimbursements will only be made while the goalie is registered with CYHA during the current season, beginning when registration opens and ending March 31st. Any purchases made outside this window can be reimbursed once the player is registered for the upcoming season. Any reimbursement request that is over a year old will not be considered. The reimbursement amount listed above is the total amount for a two year period. Once two years is up the goalie will be eligible for reimbursement at the current level of play.

Items covered by the reimbursement are: Goalie skates, leg pads, goalie breezers, protective cup, chest protector, glove and blocker, helmet, neck guard, stick and bag.

CYHA will not reimburse for multiple quantities of the same item within the two year period. Example, 2 helmets or 2 sticks.

All reimbursements will be submitted to, and reviewed by, the CYHA Goalie Director. Final approval will be made by the CYHA President. All reimbursements will be tracked and periodically reviewed by the CYHA Board.

If a goalie has received reimbursement within the last 6 months and leaves CYHA to play elsewhere, CYHA reserves the right to collect the reimbursement back. If a goalie has received reimbursement and does not complete the season (excluding a season ending injury) in the goalie position, CYHA reserves the right to collect the reimbursement back.

“Move in” goalies must register before they are eligible for reimbursement. No reimbursement for items prior to registration date. Reimbursement is only for CYHA goalies and not co-op goalies.
