FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: I can’t register right now, can you hold a spot for me?
A: There are probably 20 other people who have asked this same question. We cannot hold spots for players. Registration is first-come first-serve and space is limited.

Q: I wasn’t able to register and now it’s marked as full. Can you open up another spot?
A: Unfortunately, this is a firm no. There are probably 20 other people who have asked this same question. Registration is first-come first-serve and space is limited.

Q: These dates/times don’t work for us, will you be offering additional clinics before the start of the season? 
A: The clinics listed above are what we have scheduled for the pre-season. We will not be adding more before the start of the season. Information for Autumn clinics will be sent to parents in mid-September.

Q: My child is a goalie, can they register for the clinics?
A: They are welcome to register for the “puck handling and shooting” or “passing and shooting” clinics. 

Q: My child missed some of the warm-up camp sessions, can they come to a clinic to make it up?
A: Unfortunately no. These clinics are completely separate from the warm-up camps and we will not be mixing and matching. 

Q: My child is 4. Can they join one of these clinics?
A: No, the clinics offered are only for the divisions mentioned. Our U7 players will have lots of great on-ice sessions when the season starts on September 6th.

Q: Is this clinic included in my registration fees?
A: No, this is a separate optional clinic for those who are interested. Registration fees cover the player’s hockey season, but extra clinics are offered for additional skill development.

Q: Do I have to stay and watch?
A: Parents must stay at the arena during any HWI event (clinic, game, practice) that involves a minor child. 

Q: Will you be evaluating the players for this year’s teams?
A: No. These clinics are strictly for skill development — they are not part of tryouts or evaluations.

Q: Do they need full equipment?
A: Yes, full hockey gear is required — just like a game or practice.

Q: Can siblings/friends from outside the association join?
A: No, regardless of how much they would like to or that they have a sibling or friend in HWI. The clinics are only open to players registered for the 2025-2026 season with Hockey West Island.

Q: If we can’t make it, can we cancel our place and get a refund?
A: Registration closes in advance so we can confirm numbers and coaching staff. Any registrations cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will NOT receive a refund as we can not fill the spot at the last second. 

Registration for the six clinics listed at the top of this page will open on Sunday, August 24th at 9am. 
Please check the clinic dates and times BEFORE completing your registration.
