            interest in doing so.

7 All registrations must be paid for on-line at the time of the registration via credit or debit card. 
 
Note 1:  In order to participate in any Canton Youth Hockey program in 2023-24, players will be required to complete a separate registration process with USA Hockey.  This registration process will not open until April 1 and will require an additional registration fee paid to USA Hockey.  We will email all registrants on or about April 1 to remind them of the need to complete this process.
 
Note 2:  In order to register for 2023-24, your family must not have any outstanding balance with the league for the current or prior seasons.  If you do have an outstanding balance, you will be required to pay that balance in addition to the deposit for next season.  If you are having problems registering, please contact Mike Zani, Canton Youth Hockey Treasurer.
 
Note 3:  There is a discount of $150 for the third and fourth players in one family, if the family has three or more players registered in the three programs with registration fees of $750 or higher.
 
Refund Policy
Each year, some players who register ultimately decide not to play.  This is very disruptive to our program and to our tryout and team assignment process.  Therefore, our refund policy is as follows.  This policy will be strictly enforced.
 
Any request for a refund must be in writing to the Canton Youth Hockey Treasurer.  The amount of money refunded will depend on when in the process you decide to leave the program:
 
1.  Prior to tryouts– You will receive a full refund of all fees paid less a non-refundable & non-transferable deposit of 5%.  This 5% will cover the credit card processing fee (which is most of it) and other admin costs.
2.  Prior to announcement of team assignments (approximate date - April 15) – You will receive a full refund less a non-refundable & non-transferable deposit of $100 to cover the same fees described above as well as tryout ice costs.
3.  Prior to June 1 - You will receive a full refund less a non-refundable & non-transferable deposit of $300.  This covers all above costs as well as serving as a deterrent to disrupting the process once teams are picked.  Withdrawals at this point create a ripple effect through all of the teams at that level and also on the kids involved.
4.  After June 1st, a formal letter to the board must be written to request any refunds and stating the reason for the request.  At this stage, a decision on a refund will be voted on at the next board meeting on a case-by-case basis.
