Financial Assistance Online Application
The Duluth Amateur Hockey Association has a limited amount of funds available in the Hank Jensen Fund for financial aid. As a condition of this financial aid, families receiving assistance are expected to contribute in other ways to youth hockey programs at the rink/association level. This would include helping out with concessions, rink maintenance, flooding, fund-raising efforts, etc.
Information on the application form will be kept confidential.
OTHER OPTIONS FOR AID
The Montgomery Sports Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to removing financial barriers for young athletes by covering youth sports registration fees. Established in 2024 in Duluth, MN, we work with local associations to ensure that cost never stands in the way of a child’s opportunity to play. Together, we’re committed to making youth sports more accessible, inclusive, and impactful for families across our community.

DAHA Financial Assistance Application (The Hank Jensen Fund)
If you need to request DAHA Financial Assistance for the upcoming season, please read the following steps on how to submit the application. Separate online applications will need to be filled out for each child applying for financial assistance, but only one set of supporting documents are sent per family.
1. Please review the yearly household income requirements. They are the same requirements used by the State of Minnesota and Minnesota Public Schools to qualify for free or reduced lunch.
2. Complete the form, link is at the top right of the page. You need to accurately know your yearly household income.
3. E-mail, mail, or return in person to the DAHA Office supporting documents such as W-2 tax information, your latest tax return, documentation that proves your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch, or other documentation that proves your need for financial assistance. These supporting documents will need to be sent to the DAHA office along with a note explaining that the documents are for financial aid. These documents need to be received before the October 1, 2025 application deadline for reimbursement of registration funds mid to late December.

You will be notified of your status after your application has been reviewed. If you qualify for DAHA Financial Assistance you will be refunded your registration fee in late November.
Car raffle tickets totaling the cost of the DAHA registration fee will be distributed after registration is completed. For example, the DAHA registration fee is $100. The car raffle tickets have a value of $10 each. The player/family is then given 10 Car Raffle tickets to sell and keep the $100 profit.
Deadline
Please send in your financial aid application and supporting documents before October 1, 2025.
Items will be kept confidential.
Player Registration
2025-26 Season: In an effort to streamline processing, please register your player without getting a code. If you qualify for financial assistance, you will receive a refund of costs. You will still need a credit card or a prepaid cash card to complete the registration and payments can be broken into a payment plan to ease the burden. If this format will not work for your family, please contact Clare, DuluthAmateurHockey@gmail.com or clare@duluthhockey.com, to work out a plan. DAHA will never turn away a player due to financial difficulties.
Other Association's Financial Assistance
If you apply and qualify for financial aid with the Duluth Amateur Hockey Association, then (with your consent) your application will be passed to your specific sub association (i.e. Woodland or Denfeld) where you may receive additional financial assistance.
