Frequently Asked Question's

Who can participate in a GHS event?

Everyone is welcome, USA hockey teams, AAU teams, EU Teams, Hockey Canada, and independent teams. We have the flexibility allow all teams through our insurance carrier. All tournaments are sanctioned through a sanctioning organization (i.e. USA Hockey) however that is strictly for the purpose of insurance. Our insurance covers all and meets, and exceeds in some areas, that of other sanctioning bodies. Teams have positively communicated their excitement for this by eliminating the barriers to allow different teams to play, especially during fall seasons.

Are all events stay to play with GHS?

Not all events are stay to play.. There are some expectations to this rule. If your team is traveling to the event and live within a 50-mile radius you are exempt of the hotel restrictions.

Roster submission and approval process?

All teams are required to present a copy of their official roster that is issued by their respective sanctioning body, either USA Hockey, AAU, Hockey Canada, or independent. We require that all team managers upload their team roster to our registration platform and all waivers to be signed by coaches and players, allowing our team to perform due diligence, if needed, on teams.
