a)    All matters pertaining to the registration of teams, leagues, associations and players will be the responsibility of the General Manager of Hockey Saskatchewan.

b)              i)  Those teams/associations wishing to play in Leagues registered outside of Hockey Saskatchewan must apply to the Registration Committee prior to June 1st annually for approval to do so. Teams/Associations must provide evidence to support the application and prove there is not a viable option(s) to play within a Hockey Saskatchewan registered league.

      ii)  Those leagues wishing to allow teams registered outside of     Hockey Saskatchewan to participate in their league play must apply to the Registration Committee prior to September 1st annually for approval to do so.

c)              i)  Any request for a concession to a regulation must be in writing and submitted to Hockey Saskatchewan no later than January 11th for the current hockey season.  All applications must be made by the individual player who desires the concession to Hockey Saskatchewan regulation.  The Registration Committee reserves the right to entertain blanket concession applications from Associations.  The form shall clearly indicate that if a concession is granted it will be for the current season only.  Each application must be accompanied by a non–refundable fee of $50.00.  A concession request shall be heard within fourteen (14) days of the date the concession and non–refundable fee is received.  The General Manager will notify the party(ies) applying for the concession of the date the concession will be heard.

                ii)  When there is a request to bypass an existing Hockey Saskatchewan registration regulation or policy for the current season, including but not limited to goaltender replacement or contested releases, Hockey Saskatchewan may require medical and other personal information about the player or players included in the request.  Hockey Saskatchewan acknowledges that it has a duty to ensure that its services are free from discrimination.

Hockey Saskatchewan may request information pertaining to, among other considerations, a player's residence, guardianship, and medical status where any of those reasons are presented by the person, team or organization bringing forward the request as a factor for their request.

Hockey Saskatchewan will only require what information, including medical information, is reasonably necessary in the circumstances in order to verify the basis for such a request and to make an informed decision in response to the request.  In circumstances where Hockey Saskatchewan requires medical or other personal information and it is refused; Hockey Saskatchewan may refuse to consider the request further on that basis.

Medical Information

The nature of medical information required by Hockey Saskatchewan in connection with this policy will necessarily depend on the circumstances.  For example; for a straightforward request Hockey Saskatchewan may need only limited medical information, such as confirmation by a licensed medical practitioner that a player has a medical condition with certain restrictions on prognosis.  For more complicated requests or in circumstances where there is conflicting information, Hockey Saskatchewan may require additional and more specific medical information.

Confidentiality

Items submitted for review will be held within the confidentiality terms outlined in the Hockey Saskatchewan Code of Conduct by the pertinent decision-making committees, employees or directors.

The General Manager shall supply, in writing, the decision of the Registration Committee within seven (7) days of the date the decision is arrived at to the people making the request for a concession. The decision shall be final and binding.
