Registration & Arrival Information

1. Advance registration is required for tryout participants. Players not registered by the Sunday, September 18, 2022 at 11:59PM may not be permitted to participate.
   Please use this link to access the OWHA's Registration System: http://BarrieWHA.rampregistrations.com.
   
   Important Registration Notes:
   - Please select the 2021-2022 season, and then the 2022-2023 Competitive Tryout Registration Package
   - Select the player you wish to register, and include information for one or both parents
   - The system will warn you that "This member has already registered in this division. On submitting, this registration will merge with the existing registration." This is expected and can be ignored.
   
   
2. U11 tryout participants are not required to start at the AA level - participants may choose to tryout only for the U11-2 team if they wish. Tryout fees cover participation in tryouts for both the U11-1 and U11-2 teams (for those players not selected to the U11-1 team) and will not be adjusted for players who only tryout for one team.
   
   
3. Tryout participants for each team/level must attend the first session for that team. All tryouts after the first session for each team are by invitation only. Participants may not join tryouts for a team after the first session unless granted permission in advance by the coach.
   
   
4. Players should plan to arrive 30-60 minutes before the posted started time of the tryout session. All players must check-in with team volunteers outside of the rink. Late arriving players may not be permitted entry.
   
   
5. Tryout jerseys will be assigned to each player, and will be kept for all tryout sessions for that team, and must not be switched. Players invited to the final tryout for each team will return their jersey at the end of the session. 
   
   

Tryout Fees & Eligibility

• In order to be selected to one of our U11 or U9 competitive teams for the 2022-2023 season, players must register for and participate in 4 pre-season development sessions, and the competitive tryouts. Health exceptions for those unable to participate will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Competitive@bwha.ca for more info.

• Players who were registered with another OWHA association for the 2021-2022 season (or before) will require a valid Permission to Skate form issued by the current or last association. See our Permission to Skate form for more information.

• If selected to one of our BWHA Competitive teams, registration with the BWHA will trigger a release from the player’s previous association and the transfer of their membership to the BWHA. Players must ensure that all requirements for release from their previous association are met.

• Players who have previously played with an Ontario Minor Hockey Association team are eligible to tryout for registration, with no further action required, so long as they have never been registered with an OWHA association - otherwise a Permission to Skate form is required.
