SHC REGISTRATION FEES

2026–2027

Each year, the Sturgeon Hockey Club (SHC) Executive carefully reviews and approves an operating budget to ensure we continue to deliver a high-quality hockey program. Registration fees are determined based on projected income and expenses.

For the past three seasons, we’ve proudly maintained registration fees without any increases. However, for the upcoming 2026–2027 season, a fee adjustment has become necessary with a $50 increase at the U7 - U18 divisions, due to several key factors such as:

• Increase in the Number of Teams: We are excited to expand our Female (Fillies) program with the addition of four new teams this season. While it’s encouraging to see female hockey growing in the Sturgeon area, this expansion also brings increased costs and greater demand for ice time.
• Ice Rental Costs: With the increase of teams we need to utilize other arenas which have higher ice rental fees.
• Hockey Canada Participant Fee: This mandatory fee has increased.
• Administrative Costs: Expenses related to delivering the exciting programming our members enjoy each season continue to rise, contributing to the need for this adjustment.

Please know that we remain deeply committed to making hockey as accessible and affordable as possible for all families, while continuing to offer a well-organized and enriching experience for every player.
