2026-27 Season Info
Welcome to the 2026-2027 High School Hockey season! This page contains all the costs, dates, and information you need to get ready.
Costs
What each Brighton player pays for the 2026-27 season.
| Cost | Amount | Due | What this covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| USA Hockey registration | ~$91 ** | Before UHSH registration | USA Hockey administration and insurance coverage |
| Utah High School Hockey registration fee | $210 | At registration — now open | League administration |
| One-time soft goods fee (if not on a Brighton team last year) | $250 | Aug 1 | Player uniforms |
| Brighton team dues | $1,050–$1,400 | Sept 16 * | Ice, coaching, league team fees, jerseys, season events |
* Team dues may be split into two equal payments if requested, the second due Oct 16.
** The USA Hockey fee varies by birth year — most Brighton players (birth years 2008–2013) see $81 plus a $10 Utah affiliate fee, about $91 total at checkout.
All players will receive new jerseys this year. Returning players have already paid a soft-goods fee and are covered by budget surplus from last year, so the soft-goods fee applies only to players new to the program.
Team dues
Please note: Exact dues amounts are not yet final, but won't change by much. They're based on the final roster count.
| Team | Dues | Two payments (Sept 16 & Oct 16) | Games + practices |
|---|---|---|---|
| JV (White) | $1,050 | $525 × 2 | 18 games · ~37 practices |
| Orange | $1,150 | $575 × 2 | 16 games · ~37 practices |
| Orange + JV (both teams) | $1,400 | $700 × 2 | 34 games · ~37 practices |
| Navy | $1,150 | $575 × 2 | 16 games · ~37 practices |
Fundraising opportunities are available to help offset costs — including our Snap! Raise fundraiser (Aug 24 – Sept 21).

- Tuesday 5:45 – 6:45 pm
- Thursday 7:45 – 9:00 pm
- Saturday 12:30 – 1:45 pm
Players attend two of these three slots per week depending on team assignment. Slots are chosen to minimize conflicts with club practice schedules.
