3.    La Crete Minor Hockey should now be showing under my organizations in Spordle.  Click La Crete Minor Hockey which will direct you toward TeamSnap which is where our registration form is located.  You will need to set up an account on TeamSnap.  Once you are in you wiIl be directed to the registration form.  Please complete necessary information and attach required documents to the TeamSnap registration.  You can then pay for your registration fees online or you may choose to pay off-line but will need to make contact with the registrar to make that payment.

 

Why is the registration deadline so early?

There is a lot of preparation that goes on behind the scenes to get the season off the ground.  Part of that prep involves knowing the teams and player numbers to make decisions on how best to set up each division for success and the best year possible.  If we accept players up to the last minute, we are not able to make important decisions which affect all the players until it is almost too late.

 

Where do I find my child's Hockey Canada ID number?

You will need to sign up for a Spordle HCR account prior to registering for the 24/25 season.  Once that is completed and your child(ren) are linked to your account, your child's Hockey Canada ID is located directly below their name.

 

How do I get a HCR number for additional children?

If you already have a child in Minor Hockey and your Respect in Sport is still valid, click the Parent Respect in Sport button on the bottom of the Home page.  Log in using the same email address and password you used to complete your Respect in Sport course. Once logged in, click "Profile" in the top menu, then click "Child Management".  Click the "Add Child" button at the bottom of the page and add your new player's information. Once you've added your child the site will generate a new HCR # for that child but only if you've completed your Respect in Sport and its still current.

 

Where do I find my Parent Respect in Sport expiry date?

Go to account.spordle.com. Click members on the lefthand side and then select the child and click Qualifications, there you will be able to see the expiry date on the right hand side.

 

Can I pay my registration fees offline if I do not wish to pay by credit card online?

Yes.  Simply choose the "Pay Offline" option and make arrangements with the registrar to pay by cheque or cash in person.

 

Do I have to pay my kitchen fee even if I plan to work kitchen hours?

Yes.  You pay kitchen fees up front and are reimbursed from the kitchen once all of your hours have been completed for that season.

 

I have 3 children registered in hockey and/or figure skating.  Do I pay 3+ kitchen fees?

No.  You pay a maximum of 2 kitchen fees.  If all 3+ children are in hockey there is no need to notify the registrar.  If you have children combined in the hockey and figure skating programs you should let the registrar know.
