season fees
At Saint Ignatius, we have rebuilt the program to be competitive at the highest levels of Illinois High School hockey and we make every effort to be as cost-effective as possible while providing some of the best resources for our athletes' continued development.
However, hockey is a team sport requiring significant financial and time commitment from both the player and family. The cost of playing hockey has increased year to year due to higher ice costs, league fees, referee costs, coaching salaries, transportation, team equipment, and off-ice training.
Payment Structure
Once teams have been picked, a link for Offer Acceptance will be emailed to each family. Upon registration, 1/3 of the season fees are due upon acceptance of your spot. The remaining balance will be spread across four subsequent payments on October 15, November 15, and December 15, and January 15.
Extra Costs
There will be a team fund collection to cover additional expenses such as team-related events and activities. Families should plan for this expense and it will be administered by a team manager. The amounts will vary by team.
Financial Assistance
Our Club's goal is that all athletes have an opportunity to play hockey regardless of financial situation and will support as best we can to assist those in need. Please send your request to our Treasurer, Nancy Temple, at ntemple@kattentemple.com for more information or to apply. Such requests will be confidential.
