New Players

We are reviewing submitted New Player registrations and registrations are in progress. You will receive an email from our Administrator with instructions to register once your application is processed.

A player is considered a 'New Player' if they have NOT previously played minor hockey in Canada.

If your player has previously played minor hockey in another Association or Province - please use the Player Transfer page, as the process is different.

If your player was born outside of Canada and are registering to play hockey for the first time in Canada, we will require additional documentation to complete your registration. Please email our registrar - [email protected] for additional information.

STEP 1: Submit Required Documents via Email

The following information is required to process the registration of your child in the Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association.

Please gather ALL of the below items, and send as pdf attachments in an email to the email address: [email protected]

Registration will not be accepted without complete documentation.

Don't have a scanner? No problem! You can download and use a scanning app on a phone or tablet to create a pdf files, such as Adobe Scan

If you are unable to provide PDF files, you will need mail the documents to our mailing address, or drop off photo copies of these documents to our 'Executive' mail box in Cloverdale Arena (in the hallway next to the stairs up to the stands)

STEP 2: Register Online and Submit Payment

Once the submitted documents are reviewed, and it is confirmed that your player has valid residency to register with CMHA, a Hockey Canada profile will be created for your player. We will then email you an HCR ID number, along with a link to the online registration for New Players.

Full instructions, including payment information, will be provided in the online registration process.

Please note that returning and transfer players do take priority over new players if there is a need for a waiting list in any division. We do make our very best effort to accommodate everyone, but we do work in that priority.

STEP 3: Skating Evaluation

For players new to CMHA, please note the following minimum required skating levels:

Birth years 2016-2019: Recommended that your child has taken skating lessons and can stop

Birth years 2014-2015: Recommended that your child has completed City of Surrey Level 5 preschool or Excellent Ice Level 3 (or equivalent) (ie stopping consistently, two foot skate and glide, forward slalom, skate backwards)

Birth years 2013 or earlier: Required that your child has completed City of Surrey's Children Level 2 or equivalent (forward pumping, backwards skating width of arena, cross steps, forward glide one foot, backwards slalom, consistently stopping, forward sculling).

CMHA will be holding an evaluation skate for all players new to hockey (Birth years 2013 or earlier). This is to ensure that players meet the minimum skating requirements to ensure their safety and enjoyment. If for any reason your player is deemed to be not ready for hockey yet, you can choose to either defer your fees to the following season or receive a full refund.

Your registration will not be confirmed until all 3 steps are complete.
