GTHL “A” and “AA” Programs

With the current uncertainty due to Covid-19, NTHA has implemented a new refund policy for this session.

• If the program is shut down for public health reasons, we are still obligated to fulfill our contractual obligations, and we cannot guarantee a refund.
• Should we be unable to provide a program, NTHA reserves the right to cancel the program and provide the participants a partial refund.
• There will be no refunds for missed ice times due to illness or injury.

At all other times, you must notify the Registrar via email (registrar@nthockey.ca) about your intent to withdraw and to request any refund, if applicable. Authorized refunds will be issued within 30 days of receiving written notification.

Players who are on a Wait List, or who otherwise have their registration declined because their division/session is full will receive a 100% refund (however no refund will be provided until an official request to withdraw is received by the Registrar.)

Prior to August 1st, players may withdraw and receive a refund of any fees paid minus the $125 deposit, which is not refundable.

From August 1st – Sept. 15th, there is no refund available unless:

• Your player’s division/session has an active Wait List and your players’ spot is replaced by a new registrant from that list by Sept. 15. In this case, the refund will be for any fees paid minus the $125 deposit, which is not refundable.

After Sept. 15th, there is no refund available.

Exclusions and Exceptions

1. Players registered in U10-U18 (b.2003-2011) House League may receive a refund as follows:
   1.  The player is carded to a North Toronto “A” or “AA” team (100% refund)
   2. We receive confirmation from the GTHL that the player has been carded on a “A”, “AA” or “AAA” team at another club, within 4 days of the end of the corresponding tryout window, and BEFORE the player confirms acceptance of a roster position on a North Toronto Select team (a refund minus the $125.00 admin. fee).
2. Any player that accepts a roster position with a North Toronto Select team following the last tryout session OR any player that accepts an invitation to a Red or Green CDS team tryout, and subsequently wishes to withdraw from House League at any time after will receive no refund.
3. According to GTHL Rules 7.11 & 7.12, you may be registered with only one hockey club/association at any given time in the Hockey Canada Registry. Any player found to be registered with multiple clubs/associations and who chooses to withdraw from North Toronto will be subject to the above refund conditions, including the $125 non-refundable deposit.
4. No refunds will be issued due to:
   1. Players not passing virus screening protocols such as thermal scans, questionnaires or any other required protocols.
   2. Players not following mandatory isolation rules and protocols before, during and after any on-ice activities.
5. After the season start (as defined by the first scheduled and publicly posted on-ice session) the North Toronto Hockey Association reserves the right to determine how much refund, if any, may be owing as a cause of:
   1. Any level of government, their corresponding health authorities, or our hockey governing bodies issuing unforeseen lockdown/isolation directives that prevent us from delivering our programming as promised.
   2. Any ice facilities becoming unusable temporarily or permanently due to any virus-related closures, fire, mechanical failure, labour disruption or weather-related events.
   3. Any player who withdraws their participation voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason, including quarantine/isolation orders, illness/injury, the results of virus testing/screening, and other virus-related conditions.
6. The NTHA reserves the right to modify all programming at any time in response to local virus outbreaks, virus-related directives from government, our hockey governing bodies, and our arena suppliers. Such modifications may include but are not limited to:
   1. Reductions in the number of players on the ice or a reduction in ice time.
   2. Changes to the times and/or location of program sessions.
   3. Substituting hockey skills sessions for competitive games.
   4. Temporary cancellations of program sessions as required.
