Birth Verification and Proof of Citizenship

ALL NY DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS

Time to start gathering the Birth Certificates of all your participants for the verificaiton of birth (VOB). In NYSAHA the verification of birth MUST be done for all participants that are 8 and under and all those that are playing on teams that are State and National Bound (TB). However we encourage you to send the birth certificates in for all your participants. Many tournaments are now asking to see rosters with all players verified. Once the verification is complete there is no need to redo the verification unless there is an issue in a future season. Send the birth certificates to your USAH registrar for your section to be verified or to District Registrar Tom Branden.

NY DISTRICT WEST SECTION RULE:

Birth and Citizenship Verification. Prior to roster placement and subsequent approval, a verification and affirmation of each player's birth certificate and citizenship must be completed by a USAH District/Associate Registrar. This applies to all youth and girl's participants and women's TB participants. The club registrar will submit the necessary documents to the USAH registrar to complete the process.

USA Hockey Registry 2018-19

CLUB REGISTRARS

USA Hockey Registry for the 2018-19 season will be available in mid-late July. If you have not completed the request for the USAH registry program for the 1819 season, you must sign into your current registry and complete the info in the “pop-up” window. You will be asked if you will be the returning registrar or if there will be a new registrar. There are exciting improvements with this years program. It is important that all club registrars read the NY Tech Bulletin as there will be changes to how teams will be created: classified, categorized and labeled especially for teams Tournament Bound. The Tech Bull will be linked directly to the USAH Portal. In the meantime enjoy the Fourth of July holiday and be watching for an email from USAH with your Registry access information.

We’re looking forward to a great hockey season. Thanks for all you do for your Program.
