What Is the Super League?
The Super League offers children under 12 years old an environment to learn or extend their ice hockey skills and game play with the emphasis on fun.

Games are 3 on 3, cross-ice for under 12s. Games are 3 on 3 on a slightly smaller area for under 9s.

The ice slots for the Super League are as follows:

Sunday mornings at Botany: 8:30am – 10:30am

The first round will begin in before the term 1 school holidays 2024, with the exact schedule made available early in the new year.

The same payment system will be used and each game will be one clip from a Learn to Play concession card per player.

Who Can Play?
Anyone can play so long as they meet the age requirements – Under 12 years old for the U12 League and under 9 years old for the U9 league. Players must remain under 12 for the entire calendar year of the season. However, if this means you miss out (eg: born late in the year) special dispensation may apply to allow you to play in this league. Please email info@aiha.org.nz to request more information about this.

Which team will I play on?
The AIHA coaching staff will assign players to teams based on their skill level, to ensure teams are fair/balanced throughout the league.

When Does The Season Start?
The first round will begin in before the term 1 school holidays 2024, with the exact schedule made available early in the new year, however you must register now to secure your spot – there are only a limited amount of places on each team!

The full schedule will be made available in March, on our scheduling website: www.aucklandicehockeyhub.co.nz

Playing Fees:
Super League Registration Fee – $75.00
Simply bring your Learn to Play concession card or pay the casual rate of $20.00 per game.

How To Register
Registrations are processed on AIHA’s Club Management software, esportsdesk. You must register to play and be assigned to a team. Players who do not register will not be able to compete in the 2024 season.

There is a registration fee of $85.00 per player, per year. This fee covers the administration costs, registering Super League players with the New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation (NZIHF) so they can play in NZIHF events and tournaments. The fee also covers costs for referees, replacing team jerseys, pucks, trophies and medals for the season.

Questions / More Information:
If you have any questions or require more information, please email info@aiha.org.nz and we’ll get back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs:)

Why have you changed registration system?

We have been using the esportsdesk platform for over 5 years for our scheduling and game results needs, and have now decided to use their registration and payment add-on, to bring everything under one roof. esportsdesk is specifically built for ice hockey, and is used throughout Australia and North America.

Why am I paying money to the New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation (NZIHF) during registration?

All regional/club ice hockey registrations in New Zealand have a component which is paid to the New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation (NZIHF), as the governing body for ice hockey in NZ. If you have previously played ice hockey at AIHA or any other NZ club, you have already been paying this amount, however it has likely been bundled in to one “registration” fee shown on previous registration programmes. With the move to our new registration programme, this amount is now shown as a separate line item and is paid directly to the NZIHF.

So in short: You have already been paying this amount, you’re now just seeing it as a separate line item as part of your registration.

But who is the NZIHF and what do they do for me? Why do I have to pay this amount?

The NZIHF is the governing body for ice hockey activity in New Zealand. The registration fee you pay contributes to the running of the NZIHF. The NZIHF helps fund ice hockey at all levels throughout New Zealand, including helping fund regional clubs, donation of gear/equipment, funding and support of national (NZIHL and representative teams) and international representative teams. This registration fee helps to grow and develop the sport of ice hockey in New Zealand.

How will fees be paid?

Your registration fee will be paid via credit/debit card during registration. Playing fees will remain the same as last year – simply bring your Learn to Play concession card or pay the casual rate of $20.00 per game.

I don't have a credit/debit card - how can I register and pay for my fees?

Our registration data has shown only a very small amount of people choose to pay via bank transfer. We strongly encourage all members to pay their fees via credit/debit card as it automates your fee payments, meaning after you register, you don’t have to log in to your account constantly to manually pay fees.

If you do not have a credit/debit card and wish to pay via bank transfer, please email info@aiha.org.nz and we will make suitable arrangements for you.

AIHA charges a registration fee to help cover league administration costs such as goals, pucks, referees, linesman, score bench and other operational expenses. In 2023, the two are now shown as separate line items of $50 (NZIHF registration fee) and $90 (AIHA registration fee)

The NZIHF is the governing body for ice hockey activity in New Zealand. The registration fee you pay contributes to the running of the NZIHF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs:)

Why am I paying $60.00 to the New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation (NZIHF) during registration?

All regional/club ice hockey registrations in New Zealand have a component which is paid to the New Zealand Ice Hockey Federation (NZIHF), as the governing body for ice hockey in NZ. If you have previously played ice hockey at AIHA or any other NZ club, you have already been paying this amount, however it has likely been bundled in to one “registration” fee shown on previous registration programmes.

The NZIHF helps fund ice hockey at all levels throughout New Zealand, including helping fund regional clubs, donation of gear/equipment, funding and support of national (NZIHL and representative teams) and international representative teams. This registration fee helps to grow and develop the sport of ice hockey in New Zealand.

For adult league players, you directly benefit from the NZIHF. An example of this in 2020 was the NZIHF’s financial support to AIHA so that we could complete our full 20-game season, the premier tournament in 2023 and much more. Future adult development is planned for 2024 and beyond, including more national adult non-check tournaments and player development.

How will fees be paid?

Fees will be paid by the player to AIHA in the same format as previous years, split across instalments. With our registration system, all payments will be processed via credit/debit card, and should you choose an instalment plan, the amount shown below will automatically come off your credit/debit card on the specified due date.

Who can take part in the 2024 AHL season?

Any male or female player aged 18 and over.

When will the 2024 AHL season run?

We aim to schedule the season with similar start and end dates to what you are used to. Season starts approximately the 3rd weekend of March with finals in mid-November.

Who can be a team manager?

Any player can be a team manager, though this will depend on vacancies with existing team managers and/or whether an existing manager chooses to continue their role next season.

How can new people join the AHL?

New players are welcome to join the AHL and will be evaluated by the player grading sub-committee at a scrimmage or training session, to determine the most appropriate division for them. They will then be placed in a team depending on team and numbers requirements.

How will I know if I need to be moved divisions?

Any players that fall under the category of needing to move divisions (eg: due to skill level not suitable for current division) will be contacted directly by the General Manager or Head Coach to discuss the reasons why the player needs to be moved and available options. Rest assured that this will affect only a small minority of players, and AIHA will make suitable arrangements to ensure this is performed fairly and taking in to account the player’s interests.

For players/parents who purchase a package which includes accommodation, accommodation will be provided at Bealey Quarter located at 263 Bealey Avenue, Edgeware, Christchurch 8013, which is approximately a 10-minute drive from the ice arena.

Find out more about Bealey Quarter on their website: https://www.bealeyquarter.co.nz/ or contact them via phone 0800 115 043

Shuttle vans will be provided to transport parents/players between the accommodation and ice arena.

For players/parents who wish to organise their own accommodation, but stay at the same venue, there will be limited spaces available at Bealey Quarter, and if you mention the promo code “icehockey” you will receive a discount on your booking.

Restaurant food and cooking facilities are available onsite at the accommodation venue.

The NZIHF is not providing food or drink for tournament participants – it is up to parents/players to organise their own food throughout the weekend.
