Before You Begin: The Registration Checklist

Please review and confirm the following requirements before proceeding to the registration portal:

Review Registration Information

• I have reviewed all registration timelines, fees, and information on the SMHA website

Hockey Canada ID & Player Transfers

• I have my player’s Hockey Canada ID.
• If you do not have it, please review this document [Find My Hockey Canada ID]

NOTE: Transferring from another association: If your player has previously played hockey in Canada for a different association, you must complete a player transfer first. Please follow the step-by-step instructions under New & Transferring players

New First-Time Players

• If this is your player’s first time registering for hockey anywhere in Canada, please review the requirements and submit your documentation under New & Transferring players before proceeding.

Parent & Volunteer Commitments

• Volunteer Requirement: I understand that SMHA is a volunteer-run association, and my family is required to participate in volunteer roles throughout the season.

Shift Forward OR Respect in Sport (RIS) – Parent Program Requirement (U7–U18)

This program is mandated by Hockey Alberta. All players must have an active Shift Forward – Parent Certificate before they can access the registration system. U21 (Junior C) is exempt from this program.

• Mandatory Completion: At least one parent or guardian must complete this one-hour online course.
• Costs: There is a fee for this program. SMHA does not cover this cost, and users are required to pay at the time of registration.
• Access: SMHA does not have administrative access to this program on your behalf.
• More than one child: If you have more than one child, the badge/certificate is automatically loaded into your other players’ profiles. However, please ensure all your players are linked to your account before starting the program.
  • How to link/add your child’s profile.
• Acknowledgment: In split-family situations, any parent or legal guardian completing the Shift Forward waiver acknowledges that this requirement applies to the participant, regardless of who registers the child. Failure to have a valid certificate on file means the player cannot participate in any SMHA programs.

Residential Qualifications & Boundaries

• I meet the residential qualifications for the Springbank Hockey Association boundaries as of September 1st, in strict accordance with Hockey Calgary’s rules and regulations.
• I understand that I may be required to provide physical proof of residency upon request by SMHA or Hockey Calgary.
• Note: U21 (Junior C) is exempt from boundary restrictions. Players from anywhere within Hockey Calgary are eligible to try out for the Springbank Junior C team, so long as their home association is not offering the program.

Governing Body Regulations and Bylaws

• I understand that Springbank Minor Hockey is an affiliate of Hockey Calgary, Hockey Alberta, and Hockey Canada
• By registering with SMHA, all participants accept and agree to abide by the Springbank Minor Hockey bylaws. As an affiliate association, all rules, regulations, and discipline policies of our governing bodies apply to all members. (Ref: SMHA Bylaw page 2, section 5 Affiliation)
