What you need to know before you can join the Husky
Hockey Club Organization

In order to play on any of the hockey teams within the club at the
University of Washington, you must be a regularly enrolled student at the
University. No satellite campus students are all allowed to play on the
Seattle-campus club sports teams.

You have two teams to consider..

The team referred to as the "PAC-8/ACHA team" is a travel rep team,
which competes in the national American Collegiate Hockey Association's
Division II and the PAC-8 Conference. The PAC-8/ACHA team requires
players to tryout, among other eligibility requirements. The information
below will help recruits know the requirements for playing for the team. If
you are interested, please read the remaining of the information below
and fill out the form on the recruit form page.

The team referred to as "Team Husky" is open to all students, faculty and
staff. This team competes in a local recreational league from October to
April. For more information on Team Husky, please fill out the form on the
recruit form page. Also, if you are a student interested in starting an all-
women's team at the University of Washington, please contact at one of
the email addresses below.

What you know about Team Husky (recreational)

Team Husky plays in the Greater Seattle Hockey League (GSHL), which is
a co-ed recreational league. The team skates in the “D” league and won
the league championship for the 2001-2002 season. All students, faculty
and staff with an IMA card are allowed to play. All league and uniform fees
must be paid up front, totally approximately $500 +/-. This team supports
all levels, from beginners to advance player, and everyone gets equal ice
time. The season runs from October through March, and there are
approximately 30 games played.

Team Organizational/Registration Meeting
(for both the PAC8/ACHA team and Team Husky)

Date: The Sunday before 1st day of classes
Location: Mary Gates Hall
Time: 1:00pm. BRING A PEN & your monies to participate!

You will need to fill out information sheets, IMA club sports forms, and
more at the meeting.

What to know before trying out for the PAC-8/ACHA team

The PAC-8 requires players to be full-time students, which is 12 credits for
undergrads and 9 credits for grad students. ACHA requires that its players
carry and pass a minimum of 9 credits per semester, maintaining a
minimum of a 2.0 cumulative grade point average at all times to be eligible
to play. Players falling below the criteria will be ineligible to play until their
academic performance improves.

Team Information

Fees: Fees for the season are $825 per player, plus travel and uniforms.
$825 is due at or before the first practice (date to be determined). Players
will not be allowed on the ice until this first installment is made in full.
Tryouts cost $100 and will be applied to the year total once you make the
team, or applied to the cost of Team Husky if you choose to play on that
team. Team uniforms rental fee (home & away jersey and socks) is $90
and must be paid prior to the first practice. Travel costs will be for
approximately 3 flights to California, 4-5 driving road trips, plus hotels and
food. Players are responsible for all travel costs. We do our best to car
pool, share hotels rooms and get the best flight deals in order to deter
those costs. However, please be prepared to have a minimum of $800 or
more set aside for travel before the season starts.

Games: We will play approximately 32 games this year on the West
Coast, competing as part of the ACHA’s Division II, and PAC-8 Conference.

Equipment: You must provide your own equipment. We prefer that all
players have black pants, helmets and gloves.

More information about trying out and playing for the
PAC-8/ACHA Team

All players must wear full equipment for tryouts, practice and game
including a NCAA-approved facemask. Before the beginning of the first
tryout session, players must pay a $100 tryout fee. No one will be
allowed on the ice before the tryout fee is paid. Any player who has
outstanding dues from past seasons will also not be allowed to tryout
until the past dues are paid.

First organizational meeting: Sunday September 28th at 231 Mary Gates
Hall. Time 1:00pm. BRING A PEN! You will need to fill out information
sheets, IMA club sports forms, ACHA forms and more at the meeting.
