Permission to Skate for AAA
(updated March 2024)
STEP 1
For the 2024-25 season, players need to register in the HCR/Spordle to the 'AAA Permissions to Skate 2024-25' to receive a Permission to Skate (PTS) form. There is no fee for the PTS registration. Registration for a PTS in the HCR will hold a place for the player on a SMMHA team however standard registration with SMMHA must be done within 7 days of being released from a AAA team. If done within this time, the player will be released from the waitlist immediately. Registrations received after that point will be held on the waitlist pending room on the team.
