You will be contacted within the last couple weeks of September and told the date and time of your child’s first (of up to 3) evaluation skate.

Unfortunately we cannot accommodate these types of requests.

For information on proper fitting, protective quality and maintenance, please visit www.omha.net. Select Risk Management from the index on the left where you will find a booklet titled “Safety Requires Teamwork & Safety for All”.
7. What skating ability is required for hockey school?
As hockey school is part of the House League program, it goes without saying that skaters of all abilities are welcomed, and encouraged, to join.
8. My child has never played hockey before. Do I register him/her in the hockey school program?
Our player registration is based on year of birth therefore he/she must be registered in the age appropriate division. Please keep in mind that our house league is a recreational program and each division consists of players of all abilities. Players are evaluated at the beginning of the season in order to ensure that teams are balanced.
9. What do I do/Who do I contact if I want to volunteer?
The CMHA relies on the efforts of many volunteers in order to bring hockey to the children in our town. Positions range from team helpers, coaches, trainers, division convenors, to Executive (voting and non-voting) positions. Please email any member of the Executive to get the ball rolling – good help is always welcome.
10. My child wants to play hockey, but I can't afford the registration. What can I do?
We understand that it is difficult to ask for help, especially financially. But we can all agree that it is important for children to participate in team sports. There are many places that you can go to for assistance: Canadian Tire Jump Start Program, Caledon Community Services, Bolton Rotary Club or KidSport Orangeville.
