OCMHA 2015-16: Reminder - please register asap
2015-08-25Important Information
...and mark your June 2016 calendar to register for the 2016-17 season...
Spots are still available for the preseason skills and goalie clinics.
Thanks if you've registered - please remind your friends and neighbours. We have room to grow our numbers in addition to accepting all returning families, but we need to know who wants to play. Starting next season, the City will be allocating all public ice (and other recreation facilities) in direct relationship with previous seasons' participation rates.
See all details below, and please monitor the website as the season approaches.
Thanks!
Your OC Executive

This message is being sent to all parents/players in our 2014-15 file. The 2015-16 parent/player file will be refreshed with updated and current Hockey Canada registration data later this month. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Registration:
If you have not done so already, < PLEASE REGISTER ASAP >. We may be forced to restrict numbers due to limited ice and volunteer resources. It can't be overstated enough how important it is that you pre-register in the next few weeks. You may pay online, but if paying by cheque or email transfer, please select the "pay by cheque" option during the registration. Hockey Canada has yet to program in an e-mail transfer directly into the registration process. Emailed registration fees should be sent to the Treasurer at financial@ocmha.ca, not the Registrar! Cheques can be dropped off at 122 Hopewell Ave.
If you have friends or neighbours who have not yet registered, please urge them to do so immediately.
Preseason Clinics for All Goalies, and Novice / Atom / Peewee Skaters:
Refer to the < * PRESEASON CLINICS * > page. Please contact clinics@ocmha.ca if you have any questions or cannot pay online. These clinics fill quickly, so act now!
Preseason Ice:
Refer to the < * PRESEASON ICE * > page for the blocks of ice allocated to each division for the first 2 weeks of the sortout process (Sep 9th to 20th). By early September the conveners will update with who should attend each hour during these blocks.
Welcome Back Event:
6:30pm to 9:30pm Wednesday September 9th at The Old Firehall (aka The Ottawa South Community Centre, 260 Sunnyside Ave, K1S 0R7). Since the association does almost everything online and via email, we've decided to once again kick off the new season with an evening for you to:
