Requesting a Refund

Refunds will only be granted once a written application has been received and reviewed by the Executive Committee.
If the request is approved, the following refund schedule applies:

Date Received Refund Amount
After September 1st 85%
After October 1st 60%
After December 1st 30%
After December 31st Prorated refunds will be granted ONLY in the case of residential relocation, with appropriate documentation.

Transfers to Other Associations

After the first practice, if a player leaves to play with another OWHA association, no refund will be issued.
This is considered breaking a registration agreement with the Port Colborne Girls Hockey Association (PCGHA).


Residential Relocation

Players who move out of the area before the end of the season may apply in writing for a refund.
The refund amount will follow the schedule above, based on the date the written request is received.


Medical Withdrawal

If a player becomes medically unfit or sustains an injury preventing participation for the remainder of the season, a refund may be granted based on the above percentages.
The refund amount will be determined by the date of injury or diagnosis and must be supported by a medical note from a licensed physician.


Suspension or Expulsion

Players who are suspended or expelled from the Association are not entitled to a refund under any circumstances.
