Returning CRFMHA Players

CRFMHA Registration Policy for the 2025-26 Season

Registration opens May 1, 2025 for returning CRFMHA Players

CRFMHA has moved its registration platform to the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR) system. In order to register, at least one parent needs to set up a Spordle My Account (see setup and information links below):

HCR My Account Set Up

HCR My Account Information Update

Prior to registration:

Parents with former or current players should link those children to their My Account.
Parents with "new to hockey" players should:
- set up their own (parent) My Account
- register this child for hockey
- wait for the registrar to send you the new HCR # for your "new to hockey" player and then link this child to your My Account

All Players: It is mandatory that at least one parent (with a Spordle My Account) finishes the Respect in Sport (RIS) for Parents Program. The RIS for Activity Leaders can no longer be used to satisfy this VIAHA requirement. If you completed the Parent version of this program in previous years, you do not need to repeat it.
Parents: To ensure you receive all relevant information from CRFMHA, please ensure that your preferred email address is updated in the player profile of your Spordle account AND add info@crfmha.ca to the Contact List in your email software.

Multi-player Discounts:

Families with 3 or more children registered with CRFMHA will be eligible for discounted registration fees as per current policy. If possible, register all of the children at the same time in order to get the appropriate discount for a 3rd or 4th player in the same family. If a 3rd or 4th child is added later in the season, contact the registrar for help with the discounted registration rate for that child.

Special Requests:

For Recreational hockey, requests for one friend to play on the same team may be made. The friend must also make a reciprocal request. We will try our best to honor the one friend request, but we cannot guarantee it. VIAHA requires that our recreational teams have balanced numbers and skill levels. To make a friend request please email registrar@crfmha.ca
No coach requests will be accepted.

CRFMHA Female Dual Roster Policy:

Players requesting to be dual rostered to a CRFMHA female team and an integrated team in another Association must state that their #1 priority team in the event of scheduling conflicts will be the CRFMHA team.
