Financial Hardship Assistance Policy
Fairmont Youth Hockey Association (FYHA) believes that no child should be denied the opportunity to play hockey due to financial hardship.
In situations where a family is experiencing financial difficulty, FYHA will work with the family to help facilitate the opportunity for their child or children to participate in the program. Families requesting assistance must submit a Financial Hardship Application. The FYHA Board of Directors may request supporting documentation to verify financial need.
In some cases, families receiving assistance may be asked to “work off” a portion of the balance owed through additional volunteer hours or other approved contributions to the association.
Scope of Financial Assistance: Financial assistance through FYHA applies to:• FYHA Player Registration Fees
• FYHA deposits for Work Hours and/or Equipment
• FYHA Equipment Rental Fees
FYHA Financial assistance does NOT cover: Travel expenses or Hotel accommodations
Scholarship Recipient Responsibilities
Families receiving financial assistance are still responsible for the following requirements:
• Pay the USA Hockey registration fee (this fee cannot be waived)
• Complete the minimum required FYHA volunteer/work hours for the season
• Sell the minimum required number of FYHA hockey books for the season
Important:
Any unsold hockey books must be returned to FYHA or the family will be invoiced for the remaining books.
⚠️ Failure to meet these requirements may make the player ineligible for financial assistance the following season.
