Registration for the 2022-2023 season will again utilize the Hockey Canada Registration (HCR) system. This system is used by all leagues across Canada and is governed, maintained, and developed by Hockey Canada. All members of the MHL, GTHL, OMHA, and Alliance will be using this system again this season. The HCR offers a very secure system which will ensure privacy of information for all members.
Returning players will need to enter their email address and passwords. If you’ve forgotten your password there’s a convenient tab to request it from Hockey Canada. The MHL does have access to passwords. Please record your password and keep it safe, you will need this to access your details later to make any changes/updates, to download your Fitness Tax Credit receipt, and to register for next season.
New players: Who are registering with the Meadowvale Minor Hockey Association for the first time will go through the same procedure as returning players.
Non-Residential Fee (City of Mississauga Fee)
As per the City of Mississauga, an additional $65.00 fee per player will be applied to registrants from outside of Mississauga. This is a City of Mississauga fee and not an Mississauga Hockey League or Meadowvale Minor Hockey fee. Residents from outside of Mississauga must indicate this when registering.
If you have any questions please contact, registrar@meadowvalehockey.com.
Additional Costs – Team Budgets
If you’re new to sports, in this case hockey, you may not be aware that there are additional costs which are not covered by an association’s annual Registration Fees. This is section is meant to provide some further guidance.
House League, Rep and Gold across all age groups run a budget for the expenses which are deemed important by the Head Coach and Team Manager. There is not a fixed amount, as costs fluctuate vary based on several variables. The budget will be divided equally by the number of players on a team. Each family will share equally in these team expenses, which could include:
– additional ice time (on top of the any weekly practice provided by Meadowvale Minor Hockey)
– additional training/specialty programs
– goalie training
– coaching and volunteer certification cost
Once a Head Coach and Team Manager determine the team expenses and create a budget, all parents will be informed of the budget at the beginning of the year to inform participants where the funds will be allocated. Head Coaches do their best to keep costs reasonable. The Team Manager will provide a budget update mid-year and at the end of the hockey season.
Fundraising efforts and sponsorships may be path used by the team officials to offset team expenses. Rep A, GOLD and RED teams will typically have higher budgets than other levels (WHITE, BLUE and GREEN). Rep A and GOLD coaches will provide detailed budgets prior to players committing to a rep team.
The Process
All registrations will take place on-line. Payments can be made by credit card or personal cheque. Registrants who pay with credit card may opt to pay the entire registration fee up front or select a payment plan that requires a 10% first time payment, with up to a maximum of four installments, with the final one in September. The registration system will show the payment schedule at time of registration. If paying by cheque (if permitted by registrar), payment plans are not available and full payment must be received a maximum of two weeks from the registration date.
As in the past, players are only allowed to register and play with one MHL Association. Once you register with Meadowvale, or any other Association within the MHL, you will be committed to that Association until you are either accepted or declined if there are no spots available.
When registering using the HCR system you will require the following information:
Valid an email address. Ensure that it is correctly entered. This will be the primary method of communication. Incorrect information may delay or prevent communications about association events, tryouts and evaluations,
Birth Certificate/Registration number or Passport number
Agree to the City of Mississauga & MHL Fair Play Code of Conduct, and all required waivers. Please read and understand all waivers. We always hope hockey is for fun and friendship please honor the code of conduct and help keep this fun for everyone.
At the completion of the registration please print registration confirmation.
Key Points
When registering, watch for fields marked with an asterisk (*)… these fields are mandatory. The asterisk isn’t always obvious against the background of HCR.
When entering player email please type the address you want us to use to contact you for important schedules, updates etc. DO NOT ENTER THE PLAYER’S EMAIL unless they are the primary contact for all communications.
When you set up your Profile, please ensure that the name/address info matches the info related to the credit card holder who will be paying for the registrant(s), assuming you wish to pay by credit card. This is one issue that “haunted” us with the old registration system… if the registrant’s address didn’t match the address on the payer’s credit card statement, the transaction was voided, and the registration would not be completed.
PLEASE CONTACT THE REGISTRAR IF SELECTING THE PAYMENT PLAN AND THE CREDIT CARD WILL BE EXPIRING MID PAYMENT PLAN.
Early in the process you’ll see a spot to enter your “Hockey ID”. If you don’t have one don’t worry about this field, leave it blank. Later in the process you’ll see a field for “Discount Codes”… you can leave this one blank as well. Multiple player discounts are handled separately from this.
ACROSS THE ONTARIO HOCKEY FEDERATION (OHF): Respect in Sport must be completed by one parent or guardian of the registered player for uninterrupted hockey participation. Please click on the following link to complete the on-line course. http://hockey.on.ca/respect-in-sport-parent-program/
