Eligibility to Play in Owen Sound:

House League Teams (U5 - U7): Players who reside in the surrounding area may register to play House League Hockey in Owen Sound.

Representative / Local League Teams (U8 - U18): A player must play in their "Home Centre", which is the closest centre that offers a hockey program.  Players who live in Owen Sound, or are eligible to play in Owen Sound under regulation 3.4 (Right of Choice) of the OMHA guidelines, can play representative hockey here. Learn more about "Right of Choice" here.

Non-Resident Cards: Players from outside the city of Owen Sound are required to pay a non-resident fee.  This is done by purchasing a non-resident card from the City of Owen Sound.  The transaction number for the card will be required during the registration process for the regular season (not the registration for tryouts etc.).  For more information on the Non-Resident card process, click here.
