How much does youth hockey cost in Mississippi?
2026-2027 season estimates • Updated October 2026 • Built from published program fees and family reports
All-in season cost by level
This is the full season, not just registration. Ice, travel, tournaments, and equipment usually add up to more than the sign-up fee.
| Level | Estimated 12U season cost |
|---|---|
House C | $3,200 – $6,500 |
B | $3,800 – $7,900 |
A2 | $5,500 – $11,100 |
A A1 | $6,400 – $13,300 |
AA starts at 14U in Mississippi.
How the levels work here
Mississippi's rated teams all carry Southern Youth Travel Hockey League division names. All four belong to one club, Memphis Jr. Riverkings: 14U AA, 12U A2, 10U A1 and 10U A2. The state's only rated AA team is at 14U, and the rink lists the club as a 6U to 14U program. The House and B rows follow the USA Hockey national ladder rather than a Mississippi division we can see.
Where the money goes

Hidden costs
- The Jr. Sea Wolves' $350 is a program fee rather than a season total: the club's own page adds the USA Hockey registration fee on top of it.
- That page also says only minimal gear is available to borrow and recommends buying, so a first season carries a full set of equipment.
- No other Mississippi program publishes a registration fee we could retrieve, and neither Mid-South Ice House program page states a price.
- All four rated Mississippi teams belong to one club, Memphis Jr. Riverkings, so there is no second in-state club to compare a travel fee against.
- Those teams stop at 14U, and the rink lists Memphis Jr. Riverkings as a 6U to 14U program.
- SAHA counted 16 Mississippi members at 16U and 7 at 18U for 2024-25, so an older player may have no in-state cohort at their own age.
- Three of the five Mississippi programs in our index share one address, Mid-South Ice House in Olive Branch.
Savings tips
- Registering early is a real saving at the Jr. Sea Wolves: the club's own page lists $300 before September 30 against $350 after.
- The same page says the club runs an equipment swap at the start of each season and has minimal gear available to borrow, so ask before buying a full set.
- Mid-South Ice House lists a Try Hockey For Free session and a Lil Riverkings learn-to-play, both for ages 4 to 10.
- Ask your association about assistance and payment plans before assuming you pay full price.
- SAHA runs a development grant program, but those grants are paid to member associations rather than to families, so the lever is asking your club whether it applied.
- Applications are due October 1 and successful clubs are notified December 1.
- Compared at a common age of 10U, our estimates run $2,600-$4,900 for House, $3,100-$5,850 for B, $3,200-$6,300 for A2 $3,500-$7,000 for A1 and $3,550-$7,100 for A.
Hockey in Mississippi
Your child's team will have a label: A1, A2 or AA. Find it in the table above, because that label sets most of the cost. Every rated Mississippi team is a Memphis Jr. Riverkings team in SAHA's Southern Youth Travel Hockey League: 14U AA, 12U A2, 10U A1 and 10U A2. The rows are our estimates of a full season. The one published fee we hold is the Jr. Sea Wolves at $350, or $300 early bird before September 30, plus the USA Hockey registration fee. A published fee is not the full season.
More about Mississippi hockey
Mississippi has no state affiliate of its own. Its clubs register through the Southern Amateur Hockey Association (SAHA). USA Hockey charters SAHA to cover Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee inside the Southeastern District. Two rinks carry the state's youth hockey. Mid-South Ice House in Olive Branch runs a Youth Recreation Hockey League for ages 5 to 14. It runs learn-to-play through its Lil Riverkings and Hockey Academy programs, and the travel club Memphis Jr. Riverkings at 6U through 14U. On the Gulf Coast, the Mississippi Junior Sea Wolves play out of the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. They take players aged 5 to 17.
SAHA's registrar counted 272 Mississippi members for 2024-25, and 114 of them were 19 and over. That leaves 158 in the youth bands. There were 20 at 6U, 39 at 8U, 29 at 10U and 26 at 12U. The older bands held 21 at 14U, 16 at 16U and 7 at 18U. Nineteen Mississippi members were female. That 158 is the smallest youth total of SAHA's six states.
