West Kent Female Hockey Association

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: WESTMORLAND-KENT FEMALE HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

In consideration of your participation in the Westmorland-Kent Hockey Association's 2024-2025 hockey season, you agree to comply with the terms of this agreement including paying all fees and charges set out in this agreement to the WKFHA Hockey Association.

1. The Hockey Season

The 2024-2025 hockey season program will run as follows:

Anticipated Start Date:  October 2024.  This is an anticipated start date and may be extended.  

End Date:  March 2025.

2.  Registration:  All participants must register by September 15th, 2024.  Any registrations received after that date will be charged a $50 late fee.

3. Fees and Refund Policy

Registration and participation is subject to your payment of the following fees, which are, payable to the Hockey Association by e-transfer or in person (details about the time and venue to be determined).

U7:   $350

U9:   $400

U11:  $500

U13:  $550

U15:  $550

U18:  $550

U13/U15/U18 Goaltender Refund:  A goaltender, at the aforementioned age groups, may receive a 50% discount from the registration fee, IF they play the entire first half of the season as a goalie only and intend to play the entire second half as a goalie only as well.  Applications for the refund can be sent to [email protected] in January.  Parents must have their coach verify that their daughter has both played in nets up to January and will continue to be in nets until the end of the season.

Refunds are determined on a percentage of the season that has already been played.  

Refund Dates and Pourcentages: 

-November 15th          75%

-December 15th          50%

-January 15th              25%

-January 31st              0%

The rationale for January being the last cut off date for refund is because at this point in the season the bulk of our ice time has already been used.  Of course, there are always extenuating circumstances that can be looked at on an individual basis and brought before the board for a ruling.

4.  Method of Payment

There are 3 methods of payment:

    A. E-transfer to [email protected]. PLEASE INCLUDE THE FIRST NAME AND THE LAST NAME OF YOUR DAUGHTER.  AS WELL AS HER DATE OF BIRTH IN THE MESSAGE PORTION OF THE E-TRANSFER. Please use hockey2024 as the password.

   B.  In-person on (details to follow).

   C.  Installment Plan:  The first amount will be due on Friday, September 15th, 2024 and the remainder will be due on December 17th, 2024.
