After tryouts have been completed and a player has been selected for a Rep team all PGHA registration fees must be paid by the specified payment date. A late fee of $50 will be applied if the registration fee is not paid within this time frame.

Before August 31^st - If withdrawing prior to August 31st there will be a $30 fee to cover payment processing fees, registration fees and administrative fees.

After September 1^st - Any requests for a refund must be due to extenuating circumstances and approved by the PGHA executive.

REP team player fees - All PGHA REP teams will present a budget for the season at the initial Parent Meeting. Details of the budget and monthly player fees will be communicated at this time. Team player fees must be paid on time as directed by the team. If player fees remain outstanding for two consecutive months, teams are required to inform the PGHA for further direction.

REP fees cannot be carried from one year to the next. All players must end the season with a zero balance for both registration and Rep Team fees.

Team player fees are not refundable.

Please see the full REFUND POLICY for complete details.

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.

This varies from team to team.  Teams formed in the Spring may have team activities throughout the summer as organized by the individual coaches. 

PGHA Ice allocation typically begins in Aug/Sept at that point exhibition games may be arranged. All team activities prior to the season starting my follow the guidelines set out by the OWHA.

Season start dates have not yet been announced by the OWHA.

The continued success of the PGHA 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 speak with your coach or contact one of our Executive members to discuss.

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.
