LEARN TO PLAY REGISTRATION

2020-2021 LEARN TO PLAY REGISTRATION

ONLINE REGISTRATION OPENS ON MONDAY JUNE 1st, 2020 AT 5:00PM.

Please review the following instructions in order to successfully complete your child’s online registration.

**ALL THE START DATES AND TIMES FOR THE SEASON AND THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS WILL BE CONFIRMED TO EACH REGISTERED PARTICIPANT BY EMAIL, ONCE A FINAL DECISION ON HOCKEY ACTIVITIES FROM HOCKEY CANADA AND THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO HAS BEEN PROVIDED. ANY CHANGE TO THE NORMAL HOCKEY SCHEDULE MAY RESULT IN A REASSESSMENT OF THE FEES. DECISIONS CAN ONLY BE MADE ONCE THE FINAL CONFIRMATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO WITH RESPECT TO THE START OF HOCKEY ACTIVITIES.

The North York Knights Hockey Association (the “Knights”) uses the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR) for enrolment. If your child is a returning player, you will be able to enter the site using the email and password that was used in the previous year. (There is a system for retrieving your password if you have forgotten it. The Knights do not have a record of the password.) If your child is a new player, you will need to create a profile using your email address and a password. When registering your child, please use an email address that you check regularly as this will be our primary means of communication with you and the players.

Please do NOT use your child’s email address for registration purposes. If you have used your child’s email address within the registration system, you do have an option to edit the information. Note that all communication from the league will be forwarded to the email address that you have provided during registration. If you provide an invalid or an incorrect email address you will not receive communication from the club.

All fields within the registration are self-explanatory and the system will prompt you if you forget to answer any of the mandatory questions. Once you complete the Member’s Information you will choose which Division your child will be playing in.

PLEASE DO NOT PLACE YOUR CHILD IN A DIVISION FOR WHICH THEY ARE INELIGIBLE. For instance, do not try to place your child born in 2005 with those born in 2004.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU DO REGISTER FOR A DIVISION FOR WHICH YOUR CHILD IS INELIGIBLE, YOUR PAYMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED BUT YOUR REGISTRATION MAY BE DENIED BY THE KNIGHTS.

Registration and Fees for 2020-2021

Registration opens on Monday, June 1st, 2020 at 5:00pm and will continue until the LTP division is deemed Full and Closed by the Knights (see Registration Status below). The Knights reserve the right to close registration early for any division which is full.

Acknowledging the unprecedented challenges for many families as a result of the economic shutdown and reflecting the uncertainty about the start of the 2020-2021 hockey season, the NYKHA Executive will be implementing a registration process with two instalment payments for this year. There will be no Early Bird discount this year because of the instalment payments and the unusual circumstances surrounding the registration process. The following table outlines the registration fees for the NYKHA for the 2020-2021 hockey season.

Division	Full Fee	Instalment #1 Due: July 2nd	Instalment #2 Due: August 4th
Learn to Play: York Mills & Pleasantview	$325	$162.50	$162.50
Learn to Play : St Mike’s Arena	$425	$212.50	$212.50
Extended Learn to Play (ages 8 – 14)	$325	$162.50	$162.50

Payment and Tax Receipts

Payment for the upcoming season is to be made by credit card only, either Visa or MasterCard. The Knights do not accept cash or cheques. You will receive an invoice once you have completed the online registration. The invoice will indicate the full amount paid or the dates of “pending payment” for those who choose to pay by instalment. Regardless of whether you pay in full or in instalments, the invoice is your confirmation of acceptance into the league (subject, however, to revocation by the Knights if you have registered your child in the wrong age division as noted above).

The paid invoice is also your tax receipt. Please print a copy for your records. Duplicate copies will only be available through the website at the end of the 2020-2021 season.

Refund Policy

Notices of withdrawal and requests for refunds must be made in writing by email at registrar@knightshockey.org. Refunds, less a $50 administrative fee, will be made for House League registrants only if requested before August 31, 2020. Refunds, less a $150 administrative fee, will be made for House League registrants only if requested between September 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020. No refunds for House League will be issued in respect of any requests received or after November 1, 2020.

Refunds, less a $50 administrative fee, will be made for Learn to Play registrants only if requested before October 31, 2020. No refunds for Learn to Play will be issued in respect of any requests received on or after November 1, 2020.

Regardless of when the refund request is submitted, a full refund will not occur as an administrative fee will be charged to cover the cost of your child’s registration and release. Refunds will only be processed after the deadline date for refunds for both House League and Learn to Play (i.e. August 31 and October 31, 2020, respectively) regardless of when the request for the refund is made. If a player is released after the relevant deadline at the discretion of the Knights, no refund will be made.

Should the season be cancelled due to Covid-19, full refund cheques will be issued to the payee of the fees and sent to the address of the payee recorded on the original order/invoice.

For Learn to Play (LTP) Parents

All parents should read the FAQs (frequently asked questions) to obtain the information required to register your child in the appropriate session. The discussion on how the players are assigned to the various LTP sessions is particularly helpful.

Learn To Play will be using the website for communication this season. You will NOT receive emails or phone calls – so please check the website regularly for updates. Please bookmark that site and check back in September 2020 for up-to-date information on getting started in the programs, assigned coaches and detailed schedules.

The North York Knights offer LTP programs at three arenas:

Pleasantview Arena: Saturdays at 9:00am
St. Mike’s Arena: Saturdays at 9:30am and 10:30am
York Mills Arena: Saturdays from 9:00am – 11:00am and 11:00am – 1:00pm (see FAQ’s for placement information)

NOTE: The 9:30am session for St Mike’s LTP is generally for BEGINNER skaters (standing and walking on skates or basic stride and glide). The 10:30am session for St Mike’s LTP is for STRONGER skaters and returning LTP players (good stride and glide, turns and stops). Please register your child accordingly. Please note that if a player is registered for the 10:30 LTP session and the child is not at the eligible “skill level” (good stride and glide) at the time of assessments, the Knights reserve their right to cancel this player’s registration. Players must be four (4) years of age prior to December 31, 2020. Registration for children under the age of four (4) will not be permitted for any of our programs.

Confirming the Terms and Conditions have been read*
- I acknowledge that I have read the above information
Pursuant to Canada's anti-spam legislation (“CASL”), which will be in effect on July 1st, 2014, the North York Knights Hockey Association (the "Knights") requires your consent to receive information about our hockey programs by electronic means, such as email and text messages. IF YOU DO NOT CONSENT THE KNIGHTS WILL BE PROHIBITED BY LAW FROM SENDING YOU ANY ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, INCLUDING NOTICES ABOUT PLAYER / TEAM ALLOCATIONS, PRACTICE, AND GAME SCHEDULES OR OTHER LEAGUE EVENTS OR NOTICES. If you subsequently wish to withdraw your consent you may do so at any time by advising our Registrar at registrar@knightshockey.org or by writing to us at: P.O. Box 1415 3230 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M4N 3P6 If you have any questions or concerns regarding our CASL compliance, please contact our Registrar at the above email or postal address.
CONSENT FOR EMAILS*
- I consent to receiving electronic communications
Occasionally the Knights will update our website or print event flyers or brochures, such as for Finals Day or our annual LTP Tournament, using pictures of Knights teams / players in action. To do so we require your consent to use (for that limited purpose only) any photograph in which your child may appear, either individually or as part of a group. The required Authorization and Consent form can be read by clicking PHOTO FORM. We appreciate your cooperation.
CONSENT FOR PHOTOGRAPHS*
- I consent to the use of a photograph by the Knights in which my child may appear, either individually or as part of a group, as outlined in the Authorization and Consent form.
The Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) requires that at least one parent/guardian of every minor hockey player in the OHF (which includes the North York Knights Hockey Association and all other hockey organizations in the Greater Toronto Area) will be required to take the Respect In Sport (RIS) Parent Program prior to a player being permitted to participate in any Hockey Canada programming. This requirement applies to all levels of hockey including House League and Competitive levels. The cost of taking the program is $12 and is paid directly on-line when taking the program. A participant’s parent/guardian will only be required to take the program once. There is no requirement for re-taking the program annually.

Each hockey association will be able to track compliance with the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR). Each player’s profile on the HCR will be updated when his/her parent completes the RIS Parent Program so each association will be able to monitor compliance by reviewing the participant’s profile. A parent does not have to have taken the RIS Parent Program before the player registers. However, parents of Learn to Play players will need to have completed the on-line course prior to September 1st, 2020 as no player will be assigned to a Learn to Play program or be allowed to participate in any on-ice activities with the Knights unless the program has been completed and the RIS Parent Program registration with the HCR has been verified by the Knights.
CONSENT TO COMPLETE THE RESPECT IN SPORTS PROGRAM*
- I agree that prior to September 1st , 2020, at least one parent or guardian of the player that I have registered with the Knights will have completed (either previously or in the upcoming months) the online Respect in Sports (RIS) Parent Program as a condition of the child’s registration and participation in all House League and Select programs. I also agree that the registered player will not be assigned to a Learn to Play session or be allowed to participate in any on-ice activities with the Knights unless the program has been completed and the RIS Parent Program registration with the HCR has been verified by the Knights. NOTE: The league to select in the RIS Parent Program is HL-NYK(NYK).
Remember - you will be redirected to the registration form at hockeycanada.ca. You must complete your registration at this site.
