When do I need to register my child for the next hockey season to avoid a late payment fee?
You can register your child online by July 1, 2024 in order to get the advantage of the early registrant fee. Registering by that date helps us to plan the correct number of teams for each division. There is not a late fee but rather an Early Bird discount.

U7 and U8 - $575.00
U9, U11 - $675.00

Can I specify a certain coach or team that I want my child to play for?
No. Our policy is to ensure that players are playing at the appropriate level and that our teams are balanced. Limiting players to selected coaches restricts this objective. We encourage all participants to benefit from the knowledge of all coaches and coaching styles. Please see the Policies, Procedures and Code of Conduct if you have concerns about any team officials.
Can I request that my child play with his friend for car-pooling purposes?
Yes. You may make that request and we'll do our best to honor it. Please note that the request will not always be honored.
