The Summer League is finally coming to an end, it is supposed to rain this week and the NHL season is just around the corner. So it must be time for the PHA Winter League season to begin. The PHA will continue to schedule all games, including all playoff games, on designated nights for each conference. Sadly, we had a minor price increase of $8 per player for this season.
OVERVIEW
We can accept only 34 teams total, broken down into six Conference levels, each containing 4-7 teams. Each conference will play on designated nights of the week. Each team plays 16 Regular Season Games, and Playoff Games.
The top four teams in each conference will make the playoffs, which will be played on the same designated nights as the regular season. The championship game will have 1 extra overtime period (10 minutes, stopped time) if needed, as well as a shootout at the end if the game remains tied.

Conference A: Monday nights
Conference C+: Sunday night/some Wednesday nights
Conference C: Sunday night/some Wednesday nights

TEAM COST AND REGISTRATION
THIS SEASON, ALL TEAM PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE AS A GROUP TO QUALIFY FOR THE NEW TEAM DISCOUNT.
TOTAL TEAM COST: $7,440

To qualify for the team discount, payments must be made in full as a single payment or grouped individual payments totaling $7,440. The full amount of $7,440 must be received by the PHA on or before October 16th, 2011. Any payment made by individual players or as a team that is less than the full amount will be treated as an Individual Payment (see below).

INDIVIDUAL PLAYER REGISTRATION
In order to receive the discounted individual player amount of $496, every player on your team must have their payment received by the League by October 16th, 2011. If your team fee is not paid in full by each player by the due date, no individuals will receive the team discount, and the amount due for the season will increase to $540 per player. There will be no exceptions to this rule. Please be sure every player on your team has made their payment on time so that you can receive the individual discounted amount of $496
We will accept individual player registrations for players without a team. The Individual Payment price is $496 if received by Oct. 16, 2011. If received after October 16th, 2011, the individual season price will be $540.
