For assistance, please contact our Registrar at registrar@westendhockey.com
Players Trying out for a Competitive Team:
If a player intends to tryout for District B competitive hockey (i.e. Golden Knights, Ottawa Sting), they MUST first ‘pre-register’ with their home association prior to registering for competitive tryout using the 2024-2025 Competitive Registration option. NOTE: there is no fee to ‘pre-register’ with your home association.
Players who are accepted on a competitive team will pay their registration fees directly to the competitive association.
Players who are not accepted, must complete their registration with their home association’s house league program as quickly as possible and pay the registration fees. Your ‘pre-registration’ does not count as no fees were collected. Players who fail to complete registration with their home association, including payment, will not be allowed on the ice with their home association (including sort-outs).
The WEHL is pleased to offer an early registration fee to those who register by June 28, 2024. Unfortunately, players who intend to tryout for competitive do not qualify as they are only pre-registering with the WEHL at this point in time.
NOTE: 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 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.

New Player registration is reserved for first-time players, who have never previously registered for organized hockey ("learn-to-skate" programs may not apply). If a player has previously registered for organized hockey, but outside of the WEHL, please see above information on Transferring into the WEHL. If you are unsure, contact our Registrar.
Step | New Players (have never played minor hockey and do not have a Hockey Canada profile/account yet) |
1* | Request a Hockey Canada profile for your child
|
2* | Create your own (parent) Hockey Canada profile

5** | Complete the online course called Respect in Sport For Parent
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
The WEHL recognizes that playing hockey can be expensive. To help ensure that every child with a passion for hockey has the opportunity to play, please visit our Financial Assistance page for a list of available resources, including our payment plan option and WEHL Sponsorship Program.
