HFA’s summer season, called Hotter Than Hell, begins a couple weeks after the regular season ends, which is dependant on the weather. In 2013, the season starts June 8/9 with a few changes.

Fees: For the HTH’13 season, team fee will be $400 for up to 18 players. Additional players are $25 each, roster limit of 25 players. Referee fees are $55 per team per game and payable at the field. New teams to HFA must post a $100 bond. Fees are subject to change for subsequent seasons.

Player registration meeting: All teams will create an online roster via the HFA website. New players to HFA need: signed registration form, player card with photo and copy of driver’s license. Teams must have matching registration stickers on the back of all player cards. Returning players only need to be added to the online roster and a new sticker if necessary. The date of the 2013 HTH registration meeting will be anounced shortly. Bring all your player cards.

Games begin: June 8-9

Fields: Bear Creek Park and/or HASP. Fields were a challenge this year with every park in town, it seems, closing down for various parts of the summer. We’re limited on the number of fields available at Bear Creek, so games will played on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The League Administrator will schedule your home games on your preferred time/day (based on availability), but can’t make any promises on the rest. Please be prepared to play at any one of the times listed.

HFA features several different competitions to accommodate different interests.

*The Regular Season, our largest competition, is modeled after the European leagues with an 18-game season and intra-league tournaments. Games are played on Saturday nights and Sundays.

*The O30 competition is for the more mature player who aren't interested in chasing around the youngins. There are 3 seasons played yearly (Fall, Spring and Summer) with a shorter 8-10 game season. Games are Thursday nights.

*The Hotter Than Hell competition is a fun and casual competition to keep players involved during the off-season despite the heat. It's shorter and cheaper: 5 games tops on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

*The U23 competition is played summers only and is intended for the college-bound or college-enrolled player. Games are competitive, honing skills in the younger player and maintaining the skills during the off-season for the college set.

See below for more thorough information on each competition. See to the left for a downloadable team application for each.

The regular HFA season and Thursday night games are considered different competitions, so you can play on one team in each league. That means you could play on one team for the regular season (any division), and on an O30 team Thursday night.

The regular season fields 100 of the most competitive teams in 10 divisions with players from all over the globe. There are no age restrictions in the regular season.

The season starts in September and runs through April/May with breaks for the holidays. It also includes The Memorial Cup, an intra-league tournament which runs concurrently with the regular season. Teams play at least 18 regular season games and more depending on how far they advance in Memorial Cup action. 

Premier division games are on Saturday and Sunday nights at Bayland Park. Championship plays most of their games at Bayland Park on Sundays at 9am and 11am. All other divisions play Sundays at 9am, 11am, 1pm and 3pm at Bear Creek Park. 

While we try to place teams in an appropriate division to their abilities, the league cannot guarantee space or division placement. The deadline to enter is in July each year, but get it in early because entry forms are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all open slots are filled.
