PLAYER AGE - only players born in the years shown in the table under "Registration Fees" are eligible to play. If the child is too young, skating lessons are offered at local arenas for young children.

Step 1:

**NOTE: Completing the CMHA New Player - Hockey Canada Profile form does not mean a player is registered for the season. Parents/Guardians will need to register using the online portal.**

Step 2:

Purchase Agreement (financials redacted) OR Lease Agreement (1 year minimum lease, no rental of a room in residence)
School registration or transfer document
Utility bill (ex. Hydro, Enbridge, Rogers)

Step 3:

Once the New Player form has been submitted and proof of age and residency has been verified by the Registrar, you will receive an email stating that a Hockey Canada profile has been created for your player. The email will contain information on creating an account in the Hockey Canada Registry, linking your player to the account, and how to proceed with registration for the season.

Step 4:

Step 5:
