and hockey generally is relaxing to a small extent the restrictions on residency requirements and player movement. That being said, strict adherence to registration rules
be met. Despite what you may have heard, registration, releases and permission to skate
be handled in a very specific manner.
OHA Junior A,B,C and D require that a Junior Player Tryout Permission Form be completed by the LAST team to which the player was rostered regardless of what centre or classification. Watch OHA regulations with respect to age and age restrictions with respect to how many players of certain ages can be on any one team.
Elgin Middlesex Chiefs (EMC AAA) will hold tryouts in August and Player Tryout Permission Forms will be available ONLY AFTER you have registered in your Home Centre. (Lambeth) There are no exceptions to this regulation. Once you have registered on-line a Player Tryout Permission Form will be made available upon request. Please complete the “Player Information” section excepting signature section. Please sign as well. Completed forms can be emailed to [email protected] or faxed to 519-657-7560 (Attention: Fred Bauer) If you fax the form, please send an email notification so we keep an eye out for it.

Same rules apply to Player Tryout Permission Forms as with EMC AAA. You must register in Lambeth and procure forms as above.

THE NRP PASSPORT IS NOT A PLAYER RELEASE
NOR IS IT A “AAA” PERMISSION TO TRYOUT FORM.
Non-Resident Passports are the “new kid in town”. These forms are very simple numbered forms 8 “ X 5.5”. There are two copies to a form and we complete them with name of player, date of birth, team we are giving you permission to skate with, our name, title and date. When you go to try out for the team noted on the form, they will sign and keep a copy and you must return the other copy to MHAL.
MHAL must pre-register ALL players receiving a NRP Passport in the Hockey Canada Registry as “NR Player Passport”
ONE PASSPORT PER PLAYER.
The MHAL is a compassionate organization but we are all persons with a great many things to look after aside from your child’s hockey aspirations outside our organization. Please make every effort to get the request for forms in as soon as possible but remember that registration is the FIRST STEP.
