All players must be registered in the Stephenville Minor Hockey Association in each year that they participate. A parent or legal guardian must sign the appropriate registration form (unless the player is of legal age, in which case he/she may sign the registration form), and the registration fees as set out by the Executive must be paid at the time of registration. No player will be allowed to practice or play until he/she is registered.
Registration will be held at time, date, and location as determined by the Executive.The Registrar will handle registration subsequent to the start of the season.
No person shall be allowed to register with S.M.H.A. who owes the Association money, or equipment (sweaters, goalie equipment, etc.), until such time as all outstanding obligations have been taken care of.
The Treasurer shall send registered letters with a return receipt to those people whose registration cheques were returned from the bank as being unpaid. Alternative payment arrangements must be completed within two (2) weeks of the date notice was sent, or the affected registration(s) will be cancelled.
All S.M.H.A. players must reside within the boundaries of the Association’s jurisdiction, as set out by the rules and regulations of the N.L.H.A.
Any player who is registered for play with another Association for the current season, and subsequently moves into S.M.H.A. boundaries after the start of the season, is eligible to play. Placement of these individuals on teams will be determined by the appropriate division Director, with the assistance of the Executive, having due regard to the number of players, and the relative team strengths in the division.
