CCHA Policies

The CCHA Operating Policy Handbook (the "Handbook") was adopted by the Board on September 30, 2016, and is available below for your information and reference. The information and policies contained in the Handbook take precedence over any conflicting information found in any policy posted anywhere on the CCHA web site. To the extent the adoption and publication of the Handbook creates an ambiguity between any other information on the CCHA web site and the terms and conditions of the Handbook, the terms and conditions of the Handbook shall control. The Handbook is also subject to the polices and rules of our governing organizations, Minnesota Hockey and District 6, each as applicable. The Handbook was updated on June 17, 2024 with the passing of the revised refund policy.

The Handbook represents the Board's initial attempt to clarify and modernize its preexisting policies and to add policies to cover emerging issues (e.g., social media). To the extent you believe there are areas not addressed by the Handbook, please inform a member of the Board or attend the monthly Board meeting for a discussion about your concerns.

In order to maintain the integrity and high standards of the Chaska Chanhassen Hockey Association (CCHA), all players, coaches and parents of the CCHA are expected to follow a set of guidelines that are detailed in the Player, Parent and Coach Codes of Conduct.

The Player and Parent Codes of Conduct are signed during the registration process. The Coaches Code of Conduct is signed during the coach's application process.  

Adopted 8/2022

The Chaska Chanhassen Hockey Association is proud to offer limited financial assistance to qualifying families in need. This financial assistance is subject to the terms and conditions outlined below.

CCHA Financial Scholarship Policy:

1. All families requesting financial assistance must complete the Application for Financial Aid on the CCHA website by the designated due date. Incomplete applications will be returned.
2. Financial aid will be provided to cover CCHA base registration fees only and are granted on a per season basis. Additional costs such as team assessments, raffle etc. are not included.
3. The total amount granted will not exceed 50% of the base registration fees except in extreme hardship situations.
4. Financial aid is designed to help families get through periods of financial stress and is not to be treated as an annual subsidy. As such, financial aid is limited to 2 seasons per player unless an exception is granted by the executive committee.
5. Preference will be given to those applicants whose families qualify for public assistance programs such as food stamps or aid for dependent children.
6. All players who meet the eligibility requirements to play in CCHA are eligible to apply for financial assistance.
7. Families receiving financial aid are not permitted to “buy-out” their volunteer hours.
8. As part of its annual budget, CCHA will determine a dollar amount that will be set aside for families applying for and qualifying for financial aid. The total amount of assistance awarded to all families cannot exceed the annual budget.
9. All Information is kept strictly confidential. The Executive Committee reserves the right to request additional information at the time financial aid is considered.
10. Financial aid is provided at the sole discretion of the Executive Committee of CCHA. All decisions by CCHA regarding financial aid are final, and there is no appeal process.
