Individual policies
NEW Cheque Deposit Policy details below, effective immediately (including team refund cheques for the 2024-25 season).
A $50 administrative fee on individuals that deposit a Team Fees Refund Cheque from the end of any previous season after the team accounts have been swept for a new season which either causes the payment to bounce and incur NSF charges or causes the new season’s team to have a debit. Team accounts will be swept July 31 of each year.
The following actions will be taken:
- If the refund cheque bounced, the replacement payment will be the original amount LESS $50 AND any NSF charges incurred.
- If the refund cheque is worth $50 or less and it bounced, there will be no replacement payment issued AND any NSF charges will be added to the HCR profile of the player whose cheque was cashed which will need to be paid before the player can register for a future season, or summer development.
- If the refund cheque was cashed and a debit is created in the new team’s account, a $50 fee will be charged to the HCR profile of the player whose cheque was cashed which will need to be paid before the player can register for a future season, or summer development.

U9 PLAYER MOVEMENT TO U11A
- The Player must exhibit skill level per V.(6), as determined by the previous season’s coach and an independent evaluator (IE).
- Only second year U9-aged players who played on a U9 major team in their first year of U9 are eligible for this consideration.
- Parents will pay a fee of $250 for the IE to conduct an assessment during a U11 rep level summer development camp session, which the player must also register and pay the fees for.
- U11 Pathways and U11C Rust Off camps do NOT qualify as ice time for this assessment.
- IE will only attend one of the sessions to conduct the assessment.
- CMHA will book the IE.
- A Letter of Recommendation written by the Head Coach of the U9 team the player was rostered to in the season before is required.
- Requests will be submitted in writing to the Executive Board, via the 3VP with cc to 4VP, including the U9 Head Coach’s Letter of Recommendation and the written assessment notes/recommendation of the IE, prior to tryouts for that season.
- If approval is granted by the Executive, the player will then pay standard CMHA tryout fees to participate in the U11A tryouts.
- If the player is not rostered to a U11A team after tryouts have concluded, the player may be placed on either a U11C team, or a U9 Major team. Final decision about placement in either U9 or U11C will depend on space in these divisions, how the player may affect division balance, and will be made jointly by the 3VP and 4VP.
- If any of the VP’s are in conflict, the decision will be made by another VP and/or the President, or Board-appointed Decision Maker.
- Parents can opt to return straight to U9 if they wish.
- If the player is assigned to a U11A team, they will be required to pay the difference in basic registration fees between U9 and U11 immediately, independent of any existing installment plan. An invoice will be sent, and it must be paid before rostering will be permitted.
V(6) for reference purposes only:
When a player requests a move to a higher Division than what his age would indicate, that player shall play “C” Level unless evaluated by the Executive of CMHA as being one of the top 2-3 players of the A level of the higher division.
Passed Aug 2025
