IMPORTANT Updates:

End of Practices...

Our season generally runs through the End-of-Season Festival for each level (usually around the 3rd week of February in most cases) and those dates have now been finalized for most levels as follows:

  • 6U/8U in Los Alamos, February 15th/16th - plus our add-on Jamboree (make-up from January...) on February 23rd - last practice will be Thursday, February 20th.
  • 10U at Outpost in ABQ, February 22nd/23rdlast practice will be Friday, February 21st.
  • 12U at MAC in Rio Rancho, March 1st/2ndlast practice will be Thursday, February 27th.
  • 16U doesn't look to have an End-of-Season Festival or Tournament (so far...) - last practice will be Wednesday, February 19th.

Time to Sharpen your Skates?

It’s best to sharpen your skates every 7 to 12 hours of skating. However, the general rule of thumb is that you should sharpen your skates as soon as you feel an edge is no longer catching onto the ice.

That generally means to start with a sharpening at least one a month and adjust from there based on practices and games.

If you can't remember the last time they were sharpened, it's time!

MAC & Season Update

The water tower is functional after some issues over the MLK, Jr. holiday weekend.

Unfortunately the issue required us to cancel the 6U/8U Add-on Jamboree set for 1/19/25 and the 12U game vs. Taos that day as well.  The 6U/8U Jamboree has been rescheduled to Feb. 23rd from 11am-3pm - watch your schedules in SE!

We are planning to host the 12U End-of-Season Festival at The MAC on March 1st & 2nd to wrap-up the season. Practices for all but 12U will run through the week of Feb. 17th (No practices starting Feb. 24th).

A new water tower will be installed in April!

REMINDER: USA Hockey Zero Tolerance Policy (Parents/Spectators)

PARENTS/SPECTATORS:

The game will be stopped by on-ice officials (or off-ice officials/coaches at lower-levels) when any parent(s) / spectator(s) display inappropriate and disruptive behavior that interferes with other spectators or the game. The on-ice officials (or off-ice officials at lower levels) will identify violators to the coaches / BOD / MAC Staff for the purpose of removing parents/spectators from the spectator’s viewing and game area.

Once removed, play will resume. Lost time will not be replaced and violators may be subject to further disciplinary action by the local governing body. This inappropriate and disruptive behavior shall include:

• Use of obscene or vulgar language in a boisterous manner to anyone at any time.

• Taunting of players, coaches, officials or other spectators by means of baiting, ridiculing, threat of physical violence or physical violence.

• Throwing of any object in the spectators viewing area, players bench, penalty box or on ice surface, directed in any manner as to create a safety hazard.

Full policy (including Players, Coaches, and Officials) found HERE.


Adding a Parent/ Guardian for your player in SE - UPDATED 2024!

SportsEngine controls the access to your player through the primary parent/guardian account. We (NMAHA) CANNOT do this on your behalf!

If you need to add a 2nd parent/guardian (or more) to allow access to the practice/game schedules, etc. - here are the ways to do that.

This CAN now be done in the SE App on your phone as of this season!  It still MUST be done from the SE Account that registered the players, but here's the phone process (Android noted... Apple should be similar):

  • Have primary parent account (that did the season registration) signed into the SportsEngine phone App & go to "Account"

  • Click on the player's name under 'Household Information'

  • Click on the Edit (pen) icon and choose "Add Guardian"

  • Enter the email address to be added (2nd parent/guardian) 

  • Have that 2nd person check their email to accept the request!

Here is the PDF to the process for doing this on the website on a computer:
