**Sarnia Hockey Association combines age groups when creating the Registration Database. We offer Foundations (U6-U11), U6/U7 League, U8/U9, U11, U13, U15, U16/18/20. We combine the younger age with the older age to create these divisions (eg: U14 and U15 aged players make up the U15 Division)**
Sarnia Hockey Association offers Representative Hockey in the U8 - U18 Divisions. **Representative players within the U10-U16 Programming have already registered for the season. Players wishing to attend Evaluations for U8, U9 and U18 should NOT complete the Recreational Registration**

**All registrations (U10-U16), August 21 and after will automatically be waitlisted. Availability will be determined by our Volunteer Directors in consultation with the Registrar**
SHA has limited spots per division and therefore when a division fills, you will be placed on a waitlist. SHA volunteers work very hard to ensure that all participants are placed on a team and able to participate in the upcoming season.
All players must pay the Registration Costs listed above in FULL prior to the beginning of the season (SEPTEMBER 1st DEADLINE). No participant will be allowed on the ice for ANY SHA event until payment is received.
SHA accepts payment via credit card at the time of online registration. We also accept payment via e-transfer. All e-transfers are to be sent to [email protected] and MUST include REGISTRATION, Players Name and Date of Birth in the memo portion. Without this information, your payment WILL NOT be applied to your player’s account.
SHA offers a payment plan which will be an available option at the time of online registration. If you choose this option, your credit card will be charged on the agreed upon dates - all is clearly laid out for you at the time of registration. If you have chosen to pay via e-transfer, the responsibility lies with you to ensure payments are made on the agreed upon dates - again all is clearly laid out for you at the time of registration. Payment dates are June 20th, July 20th and August 20th
Those players who have registered for U8MD, U9MD and U18 Rep Team tryouts, evaluations will be hosted in the Fall. Please watch the SHA Website for updates on timing and location.
Sarnia Hockey Association Refund Guidelines
1. All refunds will be dealt with by both the Treasurer and Registrar on a case-by-case bases.
2. All refunds will be subject to a Sarnia Hockey Association Processing Fee. This processing fee is subject to change and will be decided by the Treasurer based on current banking fees
3. All refunds requested after the season has begun or after the player has participated in an on-ice activity will be subject to a Hockey Canada Membership Surcharge. This surcharge is subject to change and based on the current Membership Fees set out by Hockey Canada, the OHF and Alliance Hockey
4. Refunds requested once the season has begun will also be subject to a fee reduction based on how many weeks into the season we are. This reduction will be calculated by the Treasurer and Registrar and based on the Basic Registration rate and 25 weeks of hockey.
6. NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AFTER THE JANUARY 10th ROSTER DEADLINE
8. If registration was paid by credit card, refunds will processed back to the credit card used at the time of registration. This process takes 3-10 business days.
9. If registration was paid by E-transfer, an E-transfer refund will be issued to the email address associated to the player’s profile. E-transfer refunds will be issued within 3-5 days of confirmation of a player withdraw by the Registrar.
10. If a refund is requested via cheque, the cheque will be issued to the name of the parent/guardian who registered the player. Cheques will be mailed to the address on the player’s profile. In the event that you have moved and not previously notified Sarnia Hockey Association of said move, you will be subject to a $50 stop payment and cheque reissue fee
