Each
team will skate an average of 1-to-2 times per week at The Jones
Center for Families and will have the opportunity to host out-of-town
teams throughout the year. Approximate ice time per team is 60 hours.
Each individual team will have the opportunity to schedule home and
reciprocating away games. In past years teams have played approximately
20 games per season.
Scholarships
NWAHA has been helping individuals financially on an as needed basis
for the past several years. Recently, due to the tremendous generosity
of many individuals, a financial assistance fund named The Robyn
Parsons Fund was established to formally assist children who would
enjoy playing hockey, but who may have financial constraints or family
priorities that limit their ability to participate. This fund continues
to grow through generous individual contributions, donations made
from the NWAHA registration process, and individual team’s fundraising
campaigns. Please know donations are always welcome and 100% tax deductible,
send donations to:
NWAHA
Robyn Parson Scholarship Fund
P.O. Box 6277
Springdale, AR 72762-6277

All
applications will be held in the strictest of confidence. Your personal
information will be reviewed and discussed by a committe made up
of NWAHA Board Members and the NWAHA Board Treasurer. These individuals
will have the responsibility to review, prioritize need, and award
funds, as they deem appropriate. If you have already completed registration,
you can still complete and mail these forms in for consideration.
Should you be eligible for scholarship, you will receive a reimbursement
check in the mail.
Scholarship
Acceptance Expectations:
Should your request for financial assistance be accepted, the NWAHA
Board expects 100% participation of your player(s) at all practices
and games. In the event of games that are played outside Springdale,
it is your responsibility to request help from your Team Manager
or other team parents in securing transportation for your player(s)
to these locations if you are unable to transport your own child.
Should an unusual number of missed practices or games be noticed,
you will lose future consideration for financial assistance.
You
will also be expected to participate as a team parent on the team.
You need to be available and attend team meetings and contribute
volunteer hours to any team events, i.e., home tournament, team
car wash, etc.
Rental
Equipment Program
There is no bigger deterent to trying out a new sport like the cost
of equipment. A new set of hockey gear can easily cost $300.00 -
$500.00
•
Helmet
• Mouthguard
• Neck Guard
• Chest Protector
• Elbow Pads
• Gloves
• Jersey
• Athletic Supporter
• Breezers (Padded Shorts)
• Shin Guards
• Hockey Socks
• Skates
• Hockey Bag
• Hockey Stick
In 2001, after a successful year of fundraising, the Mite Team parents
generously donated $1,500.00 to kick off the Rental Equipment Program.
Thanks to that original cash donation, donations of outgrown equipment
from older skaters, and coaches picking up clearance and sale merchandise
when traveling up North, the rental Equipment Program has become
a huge success.
Since the program began, we have rented equipment to dozens of players.
For $50.00 we can supply a new player with all of the equipment
he or she will need for the season. The only pieces not included
in the rental program are a mouthguard and athletic supporter (jock).
If you would like to participate in the Rental Equipment Program
Please contact: Scott Lamers at (479) 936-7281
