2025-2026 Fees

Financial Information

Please read in full before registering. No player will be allowed on the ice for evaluation skates if fees are not paid in full. No exceptions.

Payment Method

• Offline payments (e-transfer, cheque, or cash) are due in full at the time of registration. Payments not received by June 30th will be charged the $100 late fee.
• For 3rd Party payments (financial assistance or other), verification from the 3rd party or receipt of funds is required to be emailed to the treasurer before try-outs.
• E-transfers can be sent to treasurer@cometshockey.ca. Please include the player's full name and division in the memo line. Example: Sally Smith U7
• To ensure transparency, the Comets pass along the applicable transaction fees for all payments directly to you at registration.

Late Fees

A late fee of $100 will be applied to all registrations starting July 1st.

An exception applies to individuals on a waitlist prior to July 1st, who will not incur a late fee.

Financial Assistance

If you're planning to apply for financial assistance, your first step is to register your player and choose the "offline payment" option. After registering, you can then submit your application to the relevant organizations listed below.

To ensure a smooth process and avoid any delays, it's expected that your financial assistance application will be fully completed before evaluations. This includes making sure our Treasurer has received confirmation directly from the financial assistance program about your application's review and the anticipated payment amounts.

U13/U15/U18 Registration Fees

SMHA instituted that all U13, U15, and U18 registered players would be paying the additional AA team fee at the point of registration, rather than after evaluations and team selection.

This means that if your player is in U13 B or C, U15 A, or U18 A, your team will receive funds in the form of a cheque to cover a portion of each player's team fees. These amounts will then be refunded to families in November, once teams have been finalized and the necessary information submitted to the Treasurer.

The funds that will be sent to the teams are outlined below:

• U13 B/C - $145 per player
• U15 A - $395 per player
• U18 A - $340 per player

Limited spots are available in the U13, U15, and U18 divisions. We will accept a specific number of registrations initially, then utilize a waitlist. As enough players join the waitlist, we will open more teams and accept additional registrations.

It's crucial to register as soon as possible to avoid being placed on the waitlist, even if you anticipate being added to it. Our goal is always to accommodate as many players as possible while ensuring a positive hockey experience for everyone. Controlling registration numbers helps us maintain appropriate roster sizes. We are committed to placing every girl on a Comets team if we can.

Goalie Development

The Comets are committed to supporting the growth and development of goalies within our association. To help foster long-term success in the position, the association has allocated funding specifically for goalie development within its annual non-profit budget submitted to ISC.

Registered goalies in the U11 through U18 divisions are eligible to receive reimbursement for approved goalie development expenses, up to a maximum amount based on their age division. These tiered maximums are designed to closely mirror our historical 50% registration reimbursement, ensuring equitable support as development costs scale with age:

• U11: Up to $535 per season
• U13: Up to $775 per season
• U15 & U18: Up to $900 per season

Eligible expenses may include goalie camps, clinics, private instruction, development programs, and other goalie-specific training opportunities.

To qualify for reimbursement, the player must:

1. Be registered with the Comets for the current season;
2. Consistently participate as a goalie for their team; and
3. Submit receipts for approved development expenses to the Treasurer.

Receipts must clearly show proof of payment and details of the development activity.

Historically, support for goalies was provided through a registration fee reimbursement model. Moving forward, the association will use a development-based reimbursement process to ensure funds specifically designated for goalie development are used appropriately and that the association maintains proper financial accountability for non-profit funding allocations.

Reimbursements will begin in January 2027, once goalie participation has been verified by the player’s team and approved by the association. This funding has been specifically earmarked for goalie development and is intended to directly support the advancement and training of goaltenders within the Comets organization.
