Also, new this year is the Bring a Buddy program. Any player that has a "Buddy" sign up for the class will recieve a $50.00 deduction in their class fee, for every buddy (up to 3 allowed.)

The Chelsea Hockey Association continues to improve  the very popular Learn to Play program. The program will be divided into three levels. Level one is for children with little or no skating experience that need to focus on developing their skills. Level two is for children who have some basic skills but wish to improve on them while also preparing for team play for the next season. Both levels are for children ages 6-15. Snow cubs (ages 3-5) is also available for the younger new skater. Full equipment is required and is available for loan (Excluding Skates) for the first 45 players that register with full payment. Players and parents are required to attend an organizational meeting prior to the first skate at the Arctic Coliseum.  Equipment will be distributed to players and necessary paperwork will be completed at this meeting.

Please check out our full ADM page for detailed program information.

U6/U8/Squirt through Midget Divisions: The emphasis is on a low-keyed, fun program that provides for the continuing development of individual and team hockey skills.  Spring teams use eleven (11) ice times for each team. Fall teams use fifty (50) ice times with full and shared ice as scheduled. In addition, power skating sessions and off-ice sessions are scheduled for fall house teams. The individual coaches will determine the use of each ice time, based on CHA approval. All players will be evaluated for team placement. Individuals at each level, who do not have skills required for team placement, will be referred to the Learn to Play Hockey program.  Please note that the new USA Hockey age divisions are in effect for the spring season.  Evaluation sessions are scheduled by team divisions, which are based on the birth year of the player.  Players should select the evaluation session that includes their birth year.  All evaluations will be held at the Arctic Coliseum.  Full equipment is required.

Squirt through Midget Divisions.  CHA Travel programs are designed for the very skilled player and require a high level of commitment from players and parents.  Per 1998 MAHA ruling, A level teams are limited to first year players.  Travel tryouts are scheduled by team division, which is based on birth year of the player.  All tryouts will be held at the Arctic Coliseum.  Full equipment is required and a fee will be charged for each session. Please contact coaches for additional information.

The Chelsea Lightening Girls Program was revived during the 2009-2010 season. The team will continue to skate during the spring and summer and will roster a team for the 2012-2013 season.
