Founding Season Program
Be one of the first 50 teams to change how youth hockey handles money.
HuddleBooks is opening its inaugural 2026-27 season to a small group of competitive hockey teams. If your team manages $20,000 or more in a spreadsheet, this is your invitation.
Is this for your team?
- Your team runs a budget of $20,000 or more per season
- Your treasurer currently manages finances in Excel or Google Sheets
- You want real financial controls without the complexity of accounting software
- You're part of a competitive hockey program
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 50 teams to be part of our first season. Not a test. Not a trial run. A full season of HuddleBooks with your team's real budget, real transactions, and real families.
What founding teams get
Full platform access.
Every feature, from day one. Dual approval, bank reconciliation, parent transparency dashboard, mobile app, 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 fix it.
Founding Season pricing.
As a founding team, you'll pay 40% less than our standard rate for your entire first season. That's as low as $149 for the year (less than $9 per family). Standard pricing ($179 to $599 depending on your team budget) applies starting in Year 2. No surprises. You'll know your exact renewal rate before you commit.
A seat at the table.
Founding teams aren't just early customers. You're the teams that helped build this. That matters to us, and we plan to make sure it matters to you long after Year 1.
Who's behind this?
Mike Dunbar
Hockey dad, former head coach, 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 we're capping it at 50
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'd rather support 50 teams well than 200 teams poorly.
When those 50 spots are filled, they're filled.
