Registration

Late Fee Policy (passed May 2024)

$25 per month per player will be added on failed credit card payments that are not corrected with 72 hours of failure, or on any other account in arrears without a payment plan arranged with the Registrar and approved by the Treasurer, effective immediately.

Number of Teams:

• The number of rep teams in each division will be determined based on a number of different factors. The intent is to provide opportunity for players to play at the highest level they can attain and desire.   If you do not register and pay the appropriate fees for the Rep Tryout process, you will be unable to be considered for any rep team at a later date.
• While the registration fee might have "A2/3" in the title, that does not mean that there is automatically an A3 team planned.  The decision about A3 teams will be made further into the Tryout Process.

External Tryouts:

• You must advise the 1VP by email with a cc to the Registrar of tryout for any Zone, Academy or Junior Camps with approximate dates of same.  If you are missing any of the rep tryouts, you must:
  • have received permission in writing from the 1VP for any missed dates and
  • be properly registered and paid in full for tryouts by Aug 1, by either:
    • a Regular Registration OR
    • an External Tryout Hold registration
•  PLAYERS TRYING OUT FOR HIGHER LEVEL TEAMS ARE NOT GUARANTEED PLACEMENT ON ANY TEAM.  
• Any registered player that obtains a release by September 30th to play for a Zone or Hockey Canada Sanctioned-Junior team shall receive a 100% refund of the basic registration fees if they registered with a Regular Registration.  Tryout fees are non-refundable under a Regular Registration.

External Tryout Hold Registration:

*NEW in 2024-25 * An alternative registration fee to players in the U15/U18/U21 divisions while they are trying out for elite HOCKEY CANADA-SANCTIONED programs that are external to CMHA, so they can be accounted for in CMHA tryouts in the event they are not signed by the elite program.

• External Tryout Hold Registrants: If the player advises that they are not participating in CMHA tryouts before August 1, the tryout fee will be refunded.  The hold fee is non-refundable.
• If the player participates in CMHA tryouts and is signed to the external program, the entire fee is non-refundable.
• If the player participates in CMHA tryouts and is released back to CMHA from the external program, the $25 hold fee will be credited towards their regular season registration fees.
  • Upon such release and return, their CMHA base registration fees will be due immediately.
  • FULL POLICY

Dates for Rep Evaluations:

• Dates for Rep Evaluations are not known yet but will begin with the A1 camp for U13 / U15 / U18.
• The Evaluation process for U11A will begin after Labor Day.
• If there are any changes made to the process they will be posted prior to the tryouts.
• All players who wish to be considered for the Rep teams MUST sign up for this phase at time of registration.  There absolutely will be NO opportunity to play on the A teams (other than as an affiliate) if the player has not registered and paid for tryouts.
• AGAIN - Rep tryout fees are NON-REFUNDABLE unless you are an eligible External Tryout Hold registrant and you withdraw before Aug 1.
