COACHING CLINICS

The Ontario Women’s Hockey Association has been working with other Member partners to establish health and safety measures and protocols for coaches entering the sport in the 2021/2022 season.

The established protocols will always be based on direction provided by Public Health and the Ontario Government.

To register for a clinic you must have an account with Spordle.  You will then have to link your HCR 2.0 / e-Hockey profile to this account.

OWHA CLINIC CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY

PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines and establish procedures for all cancellations and refunds for OWHA clinics.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND ENFORCEMENT

1. The OWHA does not cover travel or any other expenses for participants to attend any clinics.

2. Transfer from one clinic to another can only be provided between the same format of OWHA clinics (i.e. Online can only transfer to Online, In-person can only transfer to in-person if applicable, etc).

3. The OWHA will notify registered participants when clinic demographics have changed or when a clinic has been cancelled. Responsibilities and enforcement are as follows:

4. It is the responsibility of the participant to notify the OWHA in writing of their wish to cancel their clinic registration. Notifications must be emailed to clinics@owha.on.ca

5. It is the responsibility of the OWHA to notify registered participants, and clinic instructor of clinic cancellations. Email notification will be sent to the email address on your HCR 3.0 profile.

It is the responsibility of the clinic instructor to contact the OWHA if they are unable to facilitate the assigned clinic. Notification must be sent to clinics@owha.on.ca

Clinics

• When notice of cancellation is provided less than five (5) business days prior to the start date of the clinic, a refund will be subjected to a 15% cancellation fee of the clinic cost.

• When notification to the OWHA is not provided prior to the start date of the clinic, no refund will be provided, and clinic transfers will not be completed. All extenuating circumstances will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

• If your clinic consists of Hockey University Online components and you have started or completed the component, we will deduct the cost of the component from your refund, if you are eligible for a refund.

• Once you have registered for a clinic with a member partner, you cannot switch to another clinic being offered by another member partner. You must be removed for the original clinic before you can register for another.   (ie: if you register for an OMHA clinic, you will not be able to attend an OWHA clinic without first contacting the OMHA to be removed from their clinic and re-registering for the OWHA clinic.)

All Officials/Referees must crossover to the OWHA.  If you completed your clinic for the season with another member partner (ie: OMHA, Alliance etc) you must crossover to the OWHA if you wish to officiate in OWHA games.  Please visit the OWHA website for information on how to crossover to the OWHA.

Clinic Cancellations

If there is not enough participants enrolled to run the clinic, the OWHA will notify the association, all registered participants and clinic instructor of cancellation.

• If the participant fails to acknowledge cancellation and travels to the clinic location, the OWHA is not responsible for any related expenses including but not limited to travel expenses.

• Registered participants will be moved to the next available clinic of equal value or given a full refund if they are not able to attend the next available clinic.

For all other inquiries please contact the OWHA directly via clinics@owha.on.ca.

Please ensure that you include your name and the clinic that you are registered for in the email.
