Registration Fees are directly related to all operating expenses budgeted for an entire PGHA season. Should hockey be cancelled or postponed during the upcoming season by a governing body and/or the City of Peterborough, the Executive will review fixed expenses and determine what, if any, portion of registration could be returned.
This will not happen until after the season has been considered cancelled or finished. No request will be necessary in this event, we will advise members of the proposed refund amounts, reasoning, and refund procedure. You must be in good standing to qualify for a refund.
If withdrawing prior to the start of hockey, there will be a $30.00 fee to cover registration fees and administrative fees.
Up to Oct 31st - If there is a waitlist in the division and the spot can be filled a refund may be provided based on the amount paid to date less $200 to cover credit card processing, registration system fees, administrative costs, player insurance, jersey/socks, and ice times in October.
If there is not a player on the waitlist a refund will not be issued.
After November 1st - any requests for a refund must be due to extenuating circumstances and approved by the PGHA executive.
Please see the full REFUND POLICY for complete details.
Generally, the House League hockey program operates on Saturdays & Sundays however there are occasional away games that could be scheduled during the weekdays. The PGHA plays occasional games against other local organizations including Keene, Lindsay, Ennismore and Cobourg.
The PGHA will strive to have House League ice times consistent throughout the season, but there may be circumstances on specific weekends that make this difficult to follow. While we won’t know for sure until we finalize our yearly ice contract with the City, we try our best to keep the times consistent with the previous year.
The PGHA House League program typically includes two ice times per week which includes practices and home games. Ice allocation has not yet been finalized so this is a tentative outline.

The continued success of the PGHA House League Program is very dependent on the strength of our volunteers and we are always looking for new people willing to contribute their time to our various programs. You do not need to be a hockey expert to help us with our programs. We are always in need of good Coaching candidates, but we also need people who have good organizational skills and above all a passion to help and work with children.
If you are interested in helping us in any of the many roles, we need help with, please complete House League Volunteer Request form or contact one of our Executive members to discuss.
As with most sports, kids’ hockey is different than the professional game you may watch on television. Our association is committed to keeping your child safe.
We do this by having:
- strict rules for equipment and behaviour
- a strong emphasis on teaching skills over contact
- no bodychecking allowed
- trained game officials who enforce league rules
- certified coaches and trainers for every team
We believe hockey is a sport for life, where positive team experiences are always the priority.
Don’t worry we haven’t forgotten about you!
Registration typically closes at the end of August. You will be contacted by the PGHA in September to let you know what team you are on and who the coach is.
Keep checking the PGHA website and social media over the summer as we will keep you posted of any news regarding our House League program.
