Elite Player Movement Application >
U18 AAA: As there are no defined boundaries for U18 AAA teams, players are eligible to move to access their first tryout with any team that is defined and approved to operate within Elite Female Hockey.
- A Player will obtain the necessary permission from her Resident LMHA (if required), in accordance with the Notification of Try Out Procedures.
- Once a player has declared a U18 AAA team she wishes to play for, upon being selected and registered to that team, the player is not permitted to move onto another U18 AAA team without first obtaining an Elite Waiver form and permission from her last registered team (this includes movement from one season to another).
U18 and U15 AA: Players are expected to tryout for the Recruitment Area Team that draws from the Local Minor Hockey Association the player is resident in.
- A Player will obtain the necessary permission from her Resident LMHA (if required), in accordance with the Notification of Try Out Procedures.
- A Player will not be considered an “import” player to the Recruitment Area Team in which her Resident Local Minor Hockey Association is located.
- The Player’s Resident Minor Hockey Association may not refuse to permit a player who wishes to try out for her Resident Recruitment Area Team.
Players are only permitted to try out within a Recruitment Area that is not their Resident LMHA’s Recruitment Area with special permission from the Female Elite Hockey Committee.
- Players should only request this movement for extenuating circumstances (i.e. Considerably closer for travel, move without parent transfers).
- Players file an application, using the AA Player Movement Form and supporting documentation, through the Hockey Alberta office prior to July 1 if they wish to request this “special permission” to move.
- The Committee reviews the application and renders a decision on or prior to August 15.
NOTE: ALL PLAYERS WILL RETURN TO THEIR RESIDENT MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION AT THE END OF THE HOCKEY SEASON
