Important Considerations Before Committing
Committing to elite hockey with the Sturgeon Sting requires a greater level of time and financial commitment than community-level programs. Families should ensure they are fully prepared to meet these expectations, including travel, tournaments, training, and other team obligations throughout the season.
Players are not required to pay the full Sting registration fee unless selected for one of our AA teams. If selected, players and families will receive an email from our Registrar within 24 hours of team selection to complete the full registration process.
Please take time to review all tryout details, fee structures, and required documentation before proceeding with registration.
- Note: SHC no longer accepts cheques for Registration Fees.
- Full registration payment is due by November 30, 2025. Failure to pay will result in removal from the hockey season.
- Additional team fees may be added by the Head Coach after team formation and must be paid by October 31. Players may be removed until these are paid in full.
- 2025–2026 Jersey Deposit: A $125.00 cheque will be collected at the team level.
