Dublin High School Hockey Association

Thanks for your interest in Dublin Hockey.  

If you wish to receive information about our program and activities, please register on the Association page of the web site.  Please be sure to indicate which teams you would like to receive information for.

Summer clinics/practices take place in June and July each year.  

pre-season practices take place in September and October.  All Dublin City schools hockey players grade 8-12 are welcome to attend.  Ice times and dates will be posted on the web site when they become available.  There is a summer high school league run by the Chiller Ice Rinks, in which we usually enter 3 or 4 Dublin teams made up of JV and Varsity players combined.  If you are interested in participating, please contact our President, Chris Khan, by May 15.  Games begin the first week in June and end by the last week in July.  

We hold monthly Association meeting which are open to all parents.  They are usually held at 7:30 PM on the third Wednesday of the month at one of the Dublin high schools.  This information will be posted on the web site prior to the meeting date each month.

A little information about the hockey program:

Tryouts are held for the three varsity teams on the first full weekend in November each year.  This is the earliest we are allowed to hold tryouts under OHSAA rules.  (The two JV teams will be formed immediately after that.)  The varsity teams play in the Capital Hockey Conference which includes  Dublin Coffman, Dublin Scioto, Dublin Jerome, Thomas Worthington, Worthington Kilbourne, Upper Arlington, DeSales, St. Charles, Gahanna Lincoln, Olentangy Liberty, Olentangy Orange, Cincinnati Moeller,  Bishop Watterson and Olentangy Braves.

Varsity players are treated the same as all other varsity athletes re: GPA, physicals, access to weight room, student team manager, parents/ players agree to code of conduct, pass 5 courses, GPA 2.0 or better.  All those who do not make a Varsity team and still wish to play are placed on a JV team, unless it is determined by the coaches that they do not posses the skating ability or hockey experience to safely play at that level.  The coaches evaluate the players to try to form two equally balanced JV teams made up of players from all three high schools, along with some 8th graders if space is available.  

DHSHA was registered with the IRS as 501[c][3] non-profit youth sports organization, and a tax return is filed annually with IRS and Dublin City Schools.  We support all Varsity programs, Coffman, Scioto and Jerome, plus 2 combined JV teams.  Our annual budget is approximately $190,000.  We are governed by 13 elected officers: President, Vice-president, Treasurer, Secretary, Communications Secretary, and two trustees from each varsity program and each JV team.

The full membership votes each April on the following year’s officers and each May on the annual budget.  Monthly open meetings are held year round, and one Executive Committee meeting is held year round as well.  The association sponsors all conditioning and training session June-October, and pay for all ice and coaches during these months.  The association also pays for all ice, uniforms, referees, apparel, etc during the season, as well as funding Opening night, the Adam Allgeyer Memorial tournament in December, Senior Night and 5 banquets.  We conduct various fundraisers throughout the year including Kroger rewards program, transportation for Memorial Tournament Parking in early June, Walk-a-thons in October, in which the players solicit donations door to door, and a beverage tent at the Dublin Irish Festival in August.  Families may also help to offset their costs by selling ads for the regular season program, the Allgeyer Tournament program as well as Varsity teams posters.

Volunteers maintain the website, www.dublinhockey.org with individual pages for each team.  You can click on the Association pages to find out information about upcoming meetings, committees, contacts and any important news.  The web site is updated frequently and all are encourage to use this as an avenue of staying informed and current with important information.

The cost for players to participate is approximately $1600 per year.  This is due, in large part, to the cost of our ice time, which continues to rise.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact our Secretary.

See you at the rink!
