Coaching for the 2023/24 Rep season

The AFHA is currently looking for coaches for Rep teams for the U13, U15 and U18 divisions.

For those interested in a Head Coach role please submit your application and resume to the Coaching Coordinator

Registration for the 2023/24 Season

Players interested in playing Rep in the 2023/24 season must be registered with their home association no later than July 31st if you have a female association available in your community.

Pre-Season events and conditioning

Coaches will typically want to get the teams organized before the start of the season, and initiate pre-season conditioning.

Please reach out to the Association if you are interested in playing Rep for the AFHA and provide your contact information so that the coach may contact you for pre-season training and conditioning events.

Evaluations

Evaluations typically take place the first week of September.

Evaluations usually last 4 sessions but may take longer with subsequent ice times depending on the group and number of players.

Please stay tuned for dates and times.

Season Fees

In addition to the season registration fees for your division (see the AFHA Registration page), each rep player is also required to pay a rep fee that covers additional ice time as our rep teams typically get one more ice time per week.

In addition, due to tournaments, dry-land training, and other opportunities for team development, team fees are typically higher for rep teams than house teams.  Team fees are typically anywhere from $300-1,000 (plus travel and accommodation) costs per season and taken at the start to cover the various activities before fundraising events are organized.

Time Commitment

Please note that Rep teams have more ice times, more tournaments (including out of province or country), team development events and dry-land training in comparison to our house teams.  Please make sure that you are interested and able to make this extra commitment before agreeing to compete with a rep team as our teams rely on you as a player (and family) to be successful.
