TRAVEL PERMITS:

  1. Travel Permits will now be required for all exhibition games, tournaments and practices taking place outside of the member's Association boundary, regardless of zone.  This change comes out of the need to track all travel for sanctioned exhibition games and tournaments as well as for Hockey Canada Insurance purposes.
  2. Travel Permits for within Zone 7 must be received in the office (admin@spmha.ab.ca) 4 days before the Exhibition Game, Tournament or Practice.
  3. Travel Permits outside of Zone 7 must be received at least 7 DAYS before the Exhibition Game, Tournament or Practice.
  4. All TOURNAMENT TRAVEL PERMITS must have a SANCTION NUMBER.  Without a Sanction Number the Permit can not be issued.

  6. You can not combine Travel Permits unless they are within our Zone for practices (eg your team has additional practices every Sunday in New Sarepta 5-6 pm).   Permit applications for events outside our Zone (eg additional practices at Moyer which is outside Zone 7 every Sunday) require separate or individual submissions.f Game Sheets are not faxed in you will run the risk of not having any future Travel Permits approved.

Please Note an overview of the process:

  • Access the SPMHA Permit Application via the link above.
