North Alabama Hockey Association

Fall/Winter 2024-25 Season

Hello Everyone!

Rosters and schedules are up in GameSheet at this link: SOL 2024-25 Season Schedule

A couple of reminders regarding subs:

Skater Subs – MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE CURRENT SEASON OF SOL – NO EXCEPTIONS! Skater subs must also come from the Division subbing in or a lower Division and are subject to the approval of the opposing Captain. SOL does not register skaters as sub only.
Goalie Subs – Preferably from same division or a lower division, also subject to the approval of the opposing Captain. SOL maintains a goalie sub list, if anyone is interested in being a sub-goalie and not a rostered goalie they can contact nahasoldirector@gmail.com for instructions on how to do this.

If you are new to SOL or need a refresher on Penalty Rules, including SOL supplemental rules, click on the "Resources" tab in the menu at the top. Additionally, we will be tracking suspensions on the website again this season. One final reminder, please please please be respectful to the Officials!

Let's have a great season!

Respectfully,

Stephanie Jeffrey

SOL Director

A few questions that are frequently asked during registration:

Is there a payment plan option? if you are paying with a card, yes! you can pay in 3 payments.
Can I tell you who I want to play with? Sure, we will try to accommodate, but due to parity being the priority in SOL that is not always possible.
Can I play in more than 1 Division? The majority of skaters belong in 1 Division due to skill level, there are exceptions to this, primarily with O40. If you register for an obviously inappropriate division, the league Director reserves the right to move you to the appropriate division. Also, a word of caution, if you register for 2 divisions, you may have overlapping games, we will NOT schedule around individuals opting to play in 2 divisions.
Can I share a registration with someone else? No, we do not split registrations in SOL
Can I register as a substitute skater? No, subs come from within the registered skaters
I'm a goalie and missed out on registration, is there any other option? Yes! we do maintain a goalie sub list, contact nahasoldirector@gmail.com for more information

Summer SOL wrap Up

Thank you to everyone for participating in SOL this summer! We tried a few different things this year and had some great feedback on both full draft and three divisions. It sounds like a few of you are choosing to move up a division this fall based on your experience this summer, this is awesome!

This year we will be again taking part in the end of summer Cross League Challenge games that will be played on Sunday September 15th.

Congratulations to the Upper Division Northern Lites who will play the HAHL Goal Diggers on September 15th at 5:15pm

Congratulations to the Middle Division Flamingos who will play the HAHL Steel Bandits on September 15th at 4:00pm

First, thank you to everyone for a great season! The 2023-24 season finished up with an awesome great tournament style playoff weekend, a couple of upsets and maybe a dynasty in the making? Whether you made it to the Championship game and won or got knocked out in the first round, it was a great weekend of hockey, and if you had fun, you won! Congrats to EVERYONE!

It's time to take a short break before Summer Season starts up, rest up and spend some quality time with your non-hockey family. Information about summer session is below.

Thank you to the Division Coordinators and Committee Reps, your help and input is appreciated!

A huge thank you to my Deputy Director Tommy Blackwell for helping plan and make things happen.
