Hockey Edmonton Player Movement

PLAYER MOVEMENT 2025-2026 

 All Players are expected to play for their Resident Club, District, or Operating Area 

(as per Hockey Canada, Hockey Alberta and Hockey Edmonton Bylaws, Regulations and Directives). 

In keeping with a player first focus, we recognize, however, that there may be a unique set of extenuating circumstances where, upon application to the Player Movement Committee permission may be granted to tryout with an alternative club, or the alternate district or operating area within the district where the player resides. 

Player Movement requests will be granted only in consideration of extenuating circumstances. 

Application Process 

The following is the detailed process for a minor hockey player / family to follow when requesting permission for Player Movement. 

1. For each player that applies for Player Movement prior to the application deadline, Hockey Edmonton will contact the respective Club, District or Operating Area to attain their support, or lack of, for the respective application. 

1. If the Resident Club, District or Operating Area does not support the player request; the application will be forwarded to the Player Movement Committee for review and decision. 

1. If consent is granted by both parties, Hockey Edmonton will advise the applicant and the respective Club, District or Operating Area Registrars such that the parties can take the next steps in the registration process. 

1. In the case that an affected party is dissatisfied with the decision, the Hockey Edmonton Appeals process may be accessed. 

Players can skate with either their resident or the accepting CLUB, DISTRICT, OPERATING AREA while this application is pending - players who participate in a tryout skate/session prior to the completion of the PMC process forfeit all rights and will remain with their resident Club, District, or Operating Area.
