To register, you will require a Team Snap account log-in (you may already have one from a previous year, another family member, or another sport). If you do not yet have a Team Snap account, you may create one during the process.
Your player requires a Hockey Canada ID Number. Anyone who has ever played minor hockey anywhere in Canada, will already have an ID Number. If you registered last season via Team Snap, the Hockey Canada ID Number should automatically populate into the forms when you log in to register. If you cannot find your Hockey Canada Number or do not have have a Hockey Canada Number contact fernieminorhockey@gmail.com. Note, this may take a couple of days to occur, so do not wait to contact us if you need assistance!

FMHA is a volunteer-run non-profit organization and we require all parents to volunteer in some form throughout the year. If you do not want to participate as a board member or a rostered volunteer, there are many additional jobs needed such as scorekeepers, timekeepers, penalty box attendants, jersey parents, fundraising. Also note, that every team will host a home tournament at which ALL parents are expected to volunteer their time. Remember "many hands makes light work"
