SOUTHLAND HOCKEY ASSOCIATION REGISTRATION REFUND POLICY

 

All players withdrawing from Southland Hockey Association (SHA) after registering will have their fees refunded in proportion to the time they give notice that they are withdrawing from Southland Hockey. Commitment to ice and the payment of fixed fees are required at certain times of the hockey season. As a result, Southland cannot pay 100% refunds. 

 

To obtain a refund both the Registrar (registrars@southlandhockey.com) and Treasurer (treasurer@southlandhockey.com) must be notified in writing by the person requesting the refund. 

 

Refund request must include the following information:

 

Player Name, Division (Novice, Atom, etc.) & amount of fee paid

Name & address of parent requesting refund

Reason for player withdrawal

 

Amount of Refunds

 

Amounts to be refunded are based on withdrawing during the following timeframes: 

 

• A player withdrawing prior to evaluations or commencement of on ice sessions will be subject to a $50. administration fee. For greater clarity the refund will be for the fee paid minus $50.00. To promote the registration of Mighty Might and Initiation players there will be no administration charge for these age categories. 

• A player withdrawing after the commencement of evaluations and prior to the start of the Hockey Calgary Seeding Round will be subject to a $150 charge. For greater clarity the refund will be for the fee paid minus $150 (this fee deduction is for Novice to Junior divisions.) This $150 is for SHA administration expense, insurance and evaluation/pre-season Ice. 

• A player withdrawing after the start of the Hockey Calgary Seeding Round and prior to the commencement of the regular season (January 1 of the current season) will only be refunded 50% of the remaining balance. Remaining balance is equal to fees paid minus $150 ($150 charge is described above). 

• After January 1^st, of the season, no refund will be given for withdrawing players.

 

Players trying out for the Royals are to pay by post dated cheque dated for September 25^th. It is the responsibility of the parent to notify SHA that they have made the Royals to prevent cashing of cheques.

 

For players who are injured and for medical reasons can no longer participate in the hockey season, the refund amount will be at the discretion of the SHA Board. A doctor’s certificate must be provided to obtain a refund for this reason. The amount refunded generally will be the balance of the prorated ice time for the season. NO refunds will be given after January 31^st of the season for injuries.

 

For players who move out of the Hockey Calgary area and as a result can no longer participate in the hockey season, the refund amount will be at the discretion of the SHA Board. No refunds will be given after January 31^st for players who move out of the Hockey Calgary area.

 

Timing of Refund - Refund cheques should not be expected for a period of at least 30 days after request has been made.
