To locate your HCR number, log into your Spordle account - myaccount.spordle.com/login

DO NOT CLICK ON SPORDLE PAGES – NELSON MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION (in the middle of the screen)

Instead, on the left click on Members > click on your player's profile to find their number under our Association Name. The HCR number is the 13-digit number. SAMPLE BELOW

GENERAL REGISTRATION NOTES

Payments can be made in interest free installments. The system defaults are: installment #1 due at time of registration and the remainder on the following dates – July 1st, August 1st, August 26th. The installments will automatically be applied to your credit card on those dates. All payments must be made IN FULL PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SEASON or player will not be permitted to attend any scheduled ice time. A single payment plan is also offered.
Players wanting to play 'overage' must register in their "birth year" division and apply for overage permission in September. If you are planning to do this, please email .
Refunds will be given for cancelled registrations only. The refund will be pro-rated based on the cancellation date.
A $50 Administration Fee will be applied to all cancelled requests.
MULTI-CHILD DISCOUNT - if you are registering more than 3 siblings prior to the start of the season, you are eligible for a $100 credit on your total registration. Please email to have this applied.

RECREATIONAL (HOUSE) REGISTRATION NOTES

Recreational Registration Deadline is September 15, 2025.

REP REGISTRATION NOTES

Rep Registration Deadline is August 25, 2025.
If player/goalie is not successful in making the rep team, the $260 Rep Fees paid at time of registration will be refunded.
The $150 Rep Tryout Fee paid at time of registration is NON-REFUNDABLE.
For those players/goalies planning to try out for the West Kootenay Wildcats or AA Zone teams: if your backup plan is to play NMHA Rep you MUST REGISTER FOR REP before the deadline. NO exceptions. If you do not register on time, you will not be allowed to tryout for Rep even if you do not succeed at the Wildcats or AA Zone tryouts.
These other teams are not affiliated with NMHA in terms of registration, and therefore registration/tryout fees are not transferrable. If player/goalie makes an outside team, please notify so that the player/goalie may be removed from the NMHA Rep tryout list and a full refund of any monies paid to NMHA to date may be issued.

Please note: it is possible there may be an overlap between the two tryout processes, meaning player/goalie may have to attend both Wildcats or AA Zone tryouts and NMHA Rep tryouts in tandem.

KIDSPORT FUNDING

KIDSPORT Nelson provides money to help with youth sports registration fees so that ALL kids can play.

TO APPLY:

TO DONATE:
NMHA believes youth sports should be open and accessible for ALL kids, which is why we have added an option to donate to Kidsport when registering. If you can help, please consider doing so – thanks very much to you all for your continued generosity!
