Locomotive Season Registration

The 2025-26 season is currently underway! While our rosters are largely set, we may still be able to welcome new players on specific teams partway through the season, depending on current availability and roster depth.

If you are interested in joining the Locomotive family, please reach out to the appropriate contact below to inquire about potential openings:

Age Group Contacts

• 10U – 18U Divisions: Contact Peter Sejna at peter.sejna@ymcanoco.org
• 8U Division: Contact Chance Ubel at chance.ubel@ymcanoco.org

1. Lafayette Locomotive 25-26 Season Handbook & Policies

We highly recommend reviewing the Lafayette Locomotive 25-26 Season Handook & Policies before completing the registration.

2. USA Hockey Registration (All Players)

Every player must register with USA Hockey prior to proceeding with club registration.

3. Crossbar Player Info & Commitment Registration (All Players)

This is where you provide player information and commit to the season.

• Crossbar will automatically verify your player's USA Hockey Registration number.
• Fill out and sign all required forms.
• Answer all questions.
• For transfer players, completing this step acts as your application to our club.
• Submit Payment: Proceed to submit your payment. You can find details on our payment plan options explained below.
• Credit/Debit Card Payments: Please note that payments made via credit card will incur a 2% processing fee. This fee will be clearly displayed before you confirm your payment.
• ACH Payments: To avoid the 2% processing fee, we highly recommend using the ACH option or a debit card for your payment. These methods do not incur any additional processing fees.

5. Optional Insurance Registration:

You have the option to protect your registration fees with Vertical Insure!

6. Interested in Coaching: 

If you're interested in becoming a Head Coach or Assistant Coach, please complete our Coaching Interest Form.

AA/Top Team Tryout Fee:

• If your player wants to try out for an AA team or the top team within their age group (which might be an A team), you must add this add-on. These teams have separate tryouts, and only players who sign up will be considered.
• Cost: $50

Thursday Morning Skills Sessions:

• Cost: $485 for Y-members, $525 for non-members

How to Purchase Add-Ons

Sizing for uniforms and other gear is selected during the Crossbar registration. Payment for these items is then submitted in the YMCA payment system during the add-on portion of registration.

Look for a pop-up window right after selecting your player to choose your add-ons. If this window doesn't appear, simply click "Enroll" again, then "Unselect" your player, "Select" them again, and click "Save." The pop-up window should then appear.

Payment Plan (Default Option)

This option splits your total into manageable installments:

• 8U Open and 8U Select: Your payment will be divided into 8 even payments (an initial payment plus 7 subsequent payments from July 30, 2025, to January 30, 2026).
• 10U-18U (Deposit + Add-ons): Your total will be split into 8 payments (an initial payment plus 7 even payments from June 30, 2025, to December 30, 2025).

Important: Please make sure the "Use this for future payments too" checkbox is selected. This ensures all your installments are processed automatically!

If you register after any future payments have already been due, those amounts will simply be added to your initial payment, and your regular payment schedule will continue from there.

Pay In Full

To pay your entire balance upfront:

1. Click on "Pay Future Due."
2. Then, click "Select All."
3. Next, click "Continue."
4. Finally, click "Make Payment," choose from your stored accounts or add a new payment method, and then click "Next" to complete your payment.

Returning Players

If you played with our club in the 2024-2025 season, please complete both the Crossbar registration and the payment registration.

Transferring Players

If you played for another club in the 2024-2025 season, you are considered a transferring player. Please complete the Crossbar registration first, as this acts as your player transfer application. Do not complete the payment registration until your application is approved.

Per CAHA rules, July 1st is the earliest a transfer player can fully register with a new club.
