Federal Hockey League (FHL40+) Evaluation Schedule Fall 2019 League

The FHL level is our Tier II league and is a competitive 40+ league with players of varied backgrounds.  The FHL is designed for older players, recreational players and those newer to the game.   If you are new to the IHL/FHL register here. 

Age

You must be 40 years of age by the start of the current season.  Under age exceptions are made on a case by case basis.  Those that applied for IHL and were not selected are automatically placed in the FHL draft.  

Cost

The league fee is $190.00 plus proof of 2019-20 USA Hockey Insurance.  You must register at one of the evaluation skates and be paid in full to be put on the draft board. 

Evaluations

Players new to the league must skate in one of the evaluations.  The evaluation skates are just a pick up game but the FHL league GM's are present and will evaluate each new player and assign a ranking to be used at our draft.  This ensures that we have the correct player profile for each player in the draft. 

• $10.00 per skate.
• All players must present their 2019-20 USA Hockey insurance to be allowed on the ice.
• Goaltenders are scheduled for these skates and must contact Jerry Fronek before attending.
