Ice Cats 2014 Birth Year (U12) Get ready to Bid Now for Your Favorite Number...
Welcome to the Ice Cats Number Auction!
Ice Cats will again be running our travel jersey number auction via https://new.biddingowl.com/2014IceCats. We have created a jersey number system for specific birth years as our teams have mixed birth years. For example, Squirt teams are 2015 and 2016 birth years. Players with even birth years (2016) will be able to select from a set of EVEN jersey numbers and odd birth years (2015) will be able to select from ODD jersey numbers. There are no exceptions to this system.
- Online Bidding Start: 3/20/2025 05:00 PM
- Online Bidding End: 3/22/2025 11:59 PM
- Payment via Venmo = @DYHAFriends
Numbers available will range from 1 to 98, 49 numbers for even birth years and 49 numbers for odd birth years. No one is allowed to have the Great One's number... Numbers will be shared across your entire birth year, not just across your team. For example, if your player wants number 8, you are not just competing with the 15 players on your team for that number, but with the 45 or so players in your birth year.
We have reserved numbers 1 and 30 for goalies, otherwise players and goalies are free to bid on any of the numbers. You will need to check back over the auction period to see if your bid is still alive. Or, be sure to check your emails from biddingowl.com to see if your bid has been trumped which means you will need to re-bid. You are only allowed to bid on one number per player at a time.
A minimum bid of $10 is required to secure a number. $250 will secure a number. If you wish to spend only a small amount on a number, check the entirety of the numbers for your birth years or find those that don't have a bid and try to secure it with a $10 bid. At the end of the auction, if your bid has been successful, the bidding site will generate an email alerting you to the number and price.
If your bid has been unsuccessful or you have opted not to bid for a number, you will be able to select a number remaining from your birth year that has not been bid on. Email Rob Russell @ equipment@dyha.com with your selection which will be filled on a first come, first served basis. If you do not select a number, you will be randomly assigned a number from those numbers remaining. You will not be charged for this number.
As a suggestion for you and your player…If you do not wish to pay more than $10 for your number, have your child pick 5-8 or more numbers that would be acceptable to him/her. Start by getting one number from every decile from your player, for example: 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58, 68, 78 etc. Start with your initial bid on your first number and continue to check the site. If your initial bid is trumped, move on to the next number that is on your list that has not been bid upon. This way, you should be able to get a number for a price you are comfortable with.
Please note that 100% of the number auction proceeds will go to the Friends of DYHA which provides assistance for families and players to enjoy this great game. Please find more information at Friends of DYHA.
Bidding is only allowed for members of DYHA and Ice Cat travel teams and only for players who don't currently have an assigned jersey number. We reserve the right to delete bids from supporters that are not part of our community and the non-qualified travel teams, house players etc
