Bantam / 15U

Bantam / 15U hockey is a pivotal stage for players aged 13–15, where physical play is introduced and the pace intensifies. With a focus on advanced tactics, strength, and game awareness, it’s a key step in preparing young athletes for high-level competition and continued development.

15U update for the 2026/27 Season: It has not yet been determined whether the 15U season will begin in early October or start after High School tryouts in early November. We are currently targeting an early October start, but this may change over the summer. At this time, no 15U October Clinic is planned since we are targeting an early October start; however, a clinic will be offered if the season start is moved to early November. Additional information will be provided closer to the season.

Bantam: Boys Only Teams ages 13 - 14 (8th & 9th Grade)

15U: Girls Only Teams ages 13 - 15 (8th, 9th, & 10th Grade)

Players must be in 8th, 9th, or 10th grade to compete at the Bantam or 15U level and must satisfy the age eligibility requirements as published by MN Hockey. Players are not allowed to compete at the this level for more then 3 years per the FLHA Rules.

• Goalies receive a $400 discount during registration
• A late fee of $250 applies to all returning FLHA players that register after August 10th.

15U Note: Costs for 15U is $325 higher than Bantam because of the number of players expected and budgeted at the 15U level vs Bantam. FLHA is budgeting for smaller teams based on historical numbers. Since FLHA operates its travel programs on an "Actual Use" billing model, players will receive refunds if teams sizes are higher then budgeted or the season starts in November as less practice ice will be needed.

• Tryouts are conducted at the beginning of the season at the end of September and in early October to determine rosters for the A, B, and C teams.
• Players that elect to not tryout will be placed automatically on the bottom team for their level.
• More details regarding the tryout process can be found on the tryouts page

• During the registration process all players must declare if they intend to tryout or not for the High School Hockey program in November.
• Players that do not declare their intention, will NOT get a refund if they make the High School team
• All declarations will be kept confidential and will only be made available to the relevant FLHA Board Members.

Players will need to purchase a home and away jersey through the association if they do not have one or need to get a bigger size. Check the Programs tab on the website for Jersey Ordering information.

Families of Bantam / 15U players WILL be required to participate in the Volunteer Hours Program. More details on the program can be found on the Volunteer Hours Program page.
