RIHA is the fundraising vehicle to the Freehold Regional High School District. As further detailed in our About tab the only way FRHSD would allow Ice Hockey is if the parents 100% self funded the program. RIHA fundraises and manages the collection of the additional funds needed to fund Ice Hockey teams for all six FRHSD schools plus the cooperative partner students at Holmdel, Raritan, Matawan and Point Pleasant Boro High Schools. In order for FRHSD to schedule and hire coaches, trainers, ice time etc... they need us to commit to them with a payment schedule and a budget which is due beginning Oct. 1st. The number of players drastically affects the budget we provide and in turn drastically affects the per player fee RIHA charges each student. With this in mind we have created payment plans which typically begin late spring.

First, you can attend, participate and/or get friends and family to participate in one or all of our many fundraisers which directly reduces the budget for all players.

Second way- there are two ways of earning advertising credits- You can bring in advertising  in our Game Program which ranges from a $25 Player Message to $2500 Full Page Color Cover Ad. Any sponsorship you bring in RIHA will give you 50% of the total sponsorship amount in player credits. We have players who play essentially for free because they take advantage of this opportunity.

You can either get a check to any RIHA representative (contact information is provided in Contact tab), or you can mail it to: Regional Ice Hockey Association, 87 South Street, Freehold, NJ 07728

Yes!  You are eligible for 10% off the second player and if applicable, 15% off the 3rd.  Contact us when registering for assistance if you have any questions on applying the discount. 

You are not actually being charged an extra fee. You are forfeiting a discount we offer in an effort to have solid participation numbers. RIHA needs to have enough time to make informed budgeting decisions when making our submission to FRHSD to hire coaches, trainers, ice time etc. We are required to submit our final budget to FRHSD by Oct 1st. If we submit a budget to them that only includes enough players for one school to only field a Varsity team and then several people pay later than Oct 1st we now have a school that could have had a Varsity and JV Team. Or someone could say they are going to play and pay late and then change their mind and we would be paying for a Varsity and JV Team when there are only enough players for a Varsity Team because FRHSD has already hired a coach etc. We offer payment plans to help with this because we understand it seems early to pay and it is a large amount for some to come up with.
