New Players who are siblings of players currently registered with VTMHA will have priority registration until the start of New Player Registration. Please sign up on our registration waitlist by May 1 to ensure we can email you all of the required Application Documents in a timely fashion.

UEL, UNA & UBC Residents Please note: We are currently reviewing our University Endowment Land Policy and expect to have it resolved shortly. In the meantime, we wanted to advise you that once we have concluded our review, there is a possibility that the UEL fee charged in the past will be reinstated. (see more in our policies for justification of charge) The estimated fee will be between $700-$1000. We hope that those players whose families live within the UBC jurisdiction (students and faculty) will have their surcharge covered by UBC as in previous years. For those families who live in the UNA, we hope that an agreement can be reached whereby the UNA covers the surcharge for those families as well. Families who are not in either of those categories can expect a surcharge to be levied prior to the start of our 2009-2010 season. We are currently determining how much that will be. You will be invoiced for this fee after your registration. Please see the attached spreadsheet which indicates which address falls within which category. We will update you with further information as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience

HOW TO REGISTER A RETURNING PLAYER:

IMPORTANT:

Those members who registered online last year would have created a user account (email address) and password. You must login using the same account. If you do not remember your account or password, please complete the Hockey Canada "forgot password" Found at the Hockey Canada Registration login page.

Those who did not register online and create an account last year must create a new Hockey Canada Account. Members were sent an email containing details about your player's file information. You must match the spelling of the player's name exactly to the Hockey Canada Registry to allow you to register. If you still receive an error message after entering the name as per the format you were given, there could be a discrepancy with the player's birth date. Please contact the office if you experience this problem. It is not necessary to enter the Players' Hockey Canada ID. If you have not received the returning player registration email, please email the office We must have an incorrect email address for you.
