26.27 Season Brief
Welcome to the GSYHA Grizzly Hockey 2026-27 Regular Season Registration
Evaluation skates will be held in September for team placements.
This registration is for all 2026/27 Programming and closes SEPTEMBER 14th for WCHL Teams (10UC to 14UB)
Prices for WCHL Teams (10UC to 14UB) will increase by $50 on September 1st. Registrations for WCHL teams after September 14th will be $150 more if accepted (special circumstances considered)
How do the different price points at 10U/12U work?
Please sign up for the appropriate age group (one price available). Following tryouts, if you are offered a spot on a team at a higher price point and accept, you will be charged the full amount for that team.
Rough Draft of Weekly Practice Schedule
Predicted schedule July 4, 2026 *schedules are always subject to change
We are still negotiating and fighting for more and better ice time! This is a rough schedule if nothing changes.
Keep in mind that this schedule is based on predicted numbers - 14U is playing games with Grand Junction so this is not a full team sharing ice with 12U.
please email jpetersen@gsyha.org with questions or feedback thanks!
12U and 14U Seasons Begin Sep 19, 2026 The first tournament for 12U is Fall Faceoff (Aspen) in the A Division, October 16-18. Tryouts do not formally take place until the Glenwood rink opens, so please express your interest in participating in Fall Faceoff to jpetersen@gsyha.org (expected for players who want to play A)
14U Practices are shared ice for these 3 days leading up to evaluations week. The first tournament is Vail Sportsmanship Halloween Weekend. Grand Junction players are encouraged to attend these practices; we will plan some joint skates. *Times subject to change
