This policy outlines the steps/requirements in order to receive a refund for fees.

1. To apply for a refund, it is the responsibility of the parent to apply for a refund by submitting the Refund Request Form (below) to the Registrar, Treasurer and League Director.

2. If approved the amount of the refund shall be prorated against:

              a. the amount of ice time already used

              b. the date the request for the refund was received

              c. Hockey Canada insurance fees & HNO fees

              d. Refund processing fee.

3. There shall be no refund of fees after November 1st of the current season. Applications for refunds will not be accepted after this date.

4. A refund will not be issued if the player has monies owing to the Association.

5. A refund will not be provided to any player who is currently expelled and/or suspended from playing hockey.

6. Once a refund has been submitted the player will not be able to participate for the remainder of the season.

7. The amount of the refund will be based on when the application is received by the registrar and the percentage refund will be determined as follows (subject to a $50 processing fee):

• Before September 1st – 100% of fee less any costs + refund processing fee
• Before October 1st – 50% of fee less any costs + refund processing
• Before November 1st – 25% of fee less any costs + refund processing
• After November 1st and later – NO REFUND

Exceptions

There will be no refund of any registration fee as of November 1st, except under the exceptional circumstances such as:

• An injury that will prevent the player from playing hockey for a substantial portion of the remainder of the season. In order to receive a refund, the request must be made in writing to the FFMHA Board and the request must be supported by appropriate evidence (e.g. dr’s note, etc).
• Refunds for players that transfer to another Association because of a family move (e.g. parents moving due to a work opportunity). This will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The FFMHA Board, at its discretion, may approve the request and then refund an amount that is deemed appropriate under the circumstances.

8. FFMHA will refund 100% of fee less any costs of the registration fee for a Midget or Juvenile player who makes the final roster of a Major U18 or Junior team. In order to receive a refund under this provision, the request must be made in writing to the Registrar and the request must be supported by appropriate evidence (e.g letter from the team).
