After You’ve Registered:

• After you’ve registered, your Association will contact you to confirm your registration and advise your next steps, the primary of which is “Evaluations”.
• Evaluations take place in early to mid-October and enable the coaches and the League to assess each player’s ability and to place him or her on the appropriate team.
• The first 5 to 6 weeks of the MHL season represent our team and player convening period and allow the coaches and the League to refine the evaluation process.
• During the convening period the MHL Games Schedule will be posted only 1 week at a time.  Once convening ends, a rolling 6-week schedule will be posted.
