Founding Season Program
Be one of the first founding associations to change how youth hockey handles money.
HuddleBooks is opening its inaugural 2026-27 season to a small group of founding associations. If your rep teams run $50,000 to $75,000 a season in a spreadsheet (and even smaller teams are welcome), this is your invitation.
Every association that joins before September 15 locks in founding pricing: 40% off for three full seasons, then a permanent founding-member discount, across all your teams.
The Mississauga Senators and their eight AAA teams are our first founding club.
Is this for your team?
- Your rep teams run budgets of $50,000 to $75,000 a season (smaller teams are welcome too)
- Your treasurers currently manage finances in spreadsheets, emails and texts
- You want built-in financial controls without the complexity of accounting software
- You run an association and want all your teams on one system under one founding agreement
What the Founding Season Program is
We're building the financial management tool that youth hockey has been missing. Purpose-built for the way teams actually work: hockey-specific budget categories, dual-approval on every expense, automatic bank reconciliation, and a parent dashboard that shows families exactly where their money goes.
Before we open to everyone, we're inviting a founding group of associations to be part of our first season. Not a test. Not a trial run. A full season of HuddleBooks with your teams' real budgets, real transactions, and real families.
What founding teams get
Full platform access.
Every feature, from day one. Dual approval, bank reconciliation, parent transparency dashboard, hockey-specific budget categories, one-click reports. No feature gates. No limitations.
A direct line to the founder.
You'll have Mike's ear all season. Your feedback shapes the product. If something isn't working for your team, we'll work through it with you.
Founding pricing, locked for three years.
As a founding association, you'll pay 40% less than our standard rate, and that discount is locked for three full seasons. After the lock, you convert to a permanent 15% founding-member discount off the then-current standard rate, for as long as you stay subscribed. The promise is simple: founding associations always pay less than any association that joins later. No surprises, and you'll know your exact rate before you commit.
A seat at the table.
Founding associations aren't just early customers. You're helping build HuddleBooks for the rest of the hockey community, setting the standard for how youth hockey handles money. That matters to us, and we plan to make sure it matters to you long after your founding season.
Who's behind this?
Mike Dunbar
Hockey dad, former head coach, former team treasurer, and the person who watched his son's team collect $450 per kid for bus repairs that never happened. HuddleBooks exists because managing a team's money in a spreadsheet with zero controls is a risk no parent should have to take.
Why founding pricing has a deadline
Honest answer: we want to deliver a great experience to every single team in our first season. That means hands-on onboarding, responsive support, and actually listening to your feedback. We onboard every founding association by hand before the season starts, which is why founding pricing has a deadline: it gives us time to set you up properly before budgets go out for tryouts.
Founding pricing closes September 15, 2026. Any association that commits before then locks in the founding rate. After the deadline, new associations join at our standard pricing.
Founding Season Pricing
Founding associations pay 40% off our standard rate, locked for your first three seasons:
| Your Team Budget | Founding Rate (Years 1-3) |
|---|---|
| $50,000 to $75,000 Most rep teams | $360 |
| $30,000 | $270 |
| $20,000 | $180 |
| Smaller teams (floor) | $107 |
Every feature included. No tiers. No surprises. Annual billing aligned with the hockey season.
The rate caps at $599 standard ($360 founding), reached around a $40,000 budget, so nearly every rep team lands at the cap.
Your 40% discount is locked for three seasons. After that, founding associations keep a permanent 15% founding-member discount off the then-current standard rate, for as long as you stay subscribed. Founding associations always pay less than any association that joins later.
Cancel anytime, no penalty. No deposit, no money upfront. Your rate is locked to your association and your team's continuing program, never to the roster or the treasurer, so player and treasurer turnover never changes the price.

No. This is the full product for a full season. Founding teams get every feature with no limitations. The only difference is the price and the fact that you'll have a direct line to the founder for support and feedback.
Your 40% founding discount is locked for three full seasons. After that, founding associations convert to a permanent 15% founding-member discount off the then-current standard rate, for as long as you stay subscribed. Founding associations always pay less than any association that joins later. For reference, the standard rate is 1.5% of a team's budget, with a $179 floor and a $599 cap.
