For assistance, please contact our Registrar at registrar@westendhockey.com

If you are new or haven’t played organized hockey in a few years, please ensure you live within the WEHL boundaries (click HERE for details and locator tool), and please ensure you have a Hockey Canada Registration (HCR) account. For help with creating a new HCR account, contact our Registrar.

Players who were selected in the spring to join a competitive team:

A player who received an offer in the spring to join a District B competitive hockey team (e.g. Ottawa Sting, Ottawa Jr. 67s), must now ‘pre-register’ with their home association. While the WEHL tried to eliminate this step, it remains a District B requirement. There is no cost to 'pre-register'.

Players trying out for a competitive team in the fall:

A player who intends to tryout for District B competitive hockey in the fall (i.e. Golden Knights, Ottawa Sting), must now ‘pre-register’ with their home association. There is no cost to 'pre-register'.

SCENARIO 1: Players who are accepted on a competitive team will pay their registration fees directly to the competitive association.

SCENARIO 2: Players who are not accepted, must complete their registration with the WEHL for house league hockey (using the link above and selecting '2025-2026 WEHL House League Registration) and pay the registration fees as quickly as possible. Players who fail to complete registration with the WEHL, including payment, will not be allowed on the ice in September (including for sort-outs).

If you accidentally register for both competitive and house league, and are accepted into District B competitive, you will be charged an administration fee for cancelling your house league registration with the WEHL per our Refunds and Rebates policy.

Transferring into the WEHL from Another League:

As a rule, the WEHL does not accept or encourage transfers to or from the league except in certain circumstances as outlined on our Transfers page.

5** Complete the online course called Respect in Sport For Parent

  • This is a compulsory, one-time online course which must be completed by at least one family member before a child will be allowed on the ice.
  • If you’ve taken the course before for another child, you don’t need to take it again.
  • To avoid complications, please register for the course only AFTER you have completed Steps 1-3 and AFTER you received your email confirmation.
  • Course Link: https://heoparent.respectgroupinc.com/koala_final/

 

NOTE: Respect in Sports for Parents is MANDATORY, and will be audited before your child
will be allowed on the ice. Failure to complete the course before September 1st
may delay the start of their season!

Notes:

  • * Steps 1 & 2 are one-time processes, which will not need to be repeated in future years for the same child.
  • ** Step 5 (Respect in Sport -- Parent) is a one-time course per household. As long as one parent completed the course, including previously for another child, it does not need to be repeated. But, each player's individual account must be correctly linked to the Hockey Canada account of the parent who holds the certification.

Financial Assistance
