2020-2021 Registration and Rates
TBA
Registration is not open at this time, however over the coming months we remain committed to sharing information related to the 2020-2021 season with you as it becomes available. Return to play information will be communicated to us from the Town of Whitby, the Durham Region Health Department, OMHA (Ontario Minor Hockey Association), OHF (Ontario Hockey Federation), and Hockey Canada.
It is our intention to offer only one registration rate this season. In the past we've had an early bird rate but this is no longer applicable. We are committed to setting a registration rate that represents the true cost of the upcoming season and at this time there are too many unknown factors to confidently predict these costs.
Right now our primary objective is to support planning for the WMHA 2020-2021 season. Over the next two months, we will be exploring various different initiatives to ensure everyone’s return to hockey is supported.
