Step 3 - Additional Documentation
You will need to supply additional documentation if any of the following situations apply to you:

Payment can be made via cash, cheque or money order. Make your cheque or money order payable to the "CMHA - House League"
Do not send cash by mail.
PLEASE NOTE: We will not accept any post-dated cheques.
Family Discount - Families with more than one player only need to make one cheque, payable to the CMHA House League . Families with 3 players receive a 15% discount on the total amount, families with 4 or more players receive a 25% discount on the total amount
NOTE #1: Note that the number of practice and game ice times increase as a player moves up through the age divisions. Also, the cost of referees is higher with the older divsions. For this reason, the older age groups are more expensive. At Juvenile, there are no practices, only games so their fees are lower.
NOTE #2: Registration fees cover practice ice, game ice, referee fees, insurance and administration costs only.
NOTE #3: Team expenses such as tournaments, additional ice time, team merchandise, trophies and other team expenses are not covered by the registration fees. Parents should expect to participate in team fund raising to cover those costs. Typically, parents may also be asked for additional funds to support team expenses.
- For CMHA House League teams, the maximum is $50 per player for IP age players and $150 for older age divisions.
- For Junior Grads, the cost is higher. Please visit the Junior Grads website ( http://www.cumberland-jrgrads.com ) for more information.
NOTE #4: Wild AAA Teams- Players who try out for the Wild and are successful at becoming a member of the Eastern Ontario AAA Wild will have their District XII registration fees refunded and will be required to remit a new registration fee to the Wild. The Wild registration fees do include tournament fees and additional ice time. However parents can expect to pay for accommodations and meals at tournaments, most of which are out of town. Wild AAA play in a much larger geographic area (anywhere between Hawkesbury, Orleans and Cornwall), so travel time and expenses to get to practices and games is higher. We try and ask for funds from parents only once (at the beginning of the year), and not have to go back to them for additional funds. Our fundraising activities serve to reduce the amount payable. For example, our Wild teams charged between about $2200 and $2600 at the beginning of the year, and depending on how many fund raising activities players/parents participated in, they received refunds of up to $500-$600 at the end of the year. Please visit the Wild website at http://www.wildaaa.ca.
