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.
