What is the refund policy?
Hornets members and new players: Subject to the Hockey authorities and government and local health unit restrictions/regulations, the Hornets are currently planning for a normal season for 2021-22. Accordingly, our registration fees are posted to reflect a return to the hockey programming we have traditionally offered and are used to.
Registration for the 2021-22 season has opened and the costs are posted on our website ($695 for returning players, $795 for new and returning players) with deposits being charged and the balance due September 1, 2021.
On the basis that we are able to offer a traditional season, the Hornets' refund policy is similar to what was in place pre-Covid-19 and is as follows:
All refunds must be requested to the Hornets' office. Refunds will be given by cheque or repaid to your credit card (less any credit card charges) and may take up to two weeks to process.
1. All withdrawal requests must be submitted in writing (email accepted).
2. Prior to September 1st, subject to a $50 administration fee.
3. House league – Withdrawal between September 1 to September 30
Subject to a $125 administration fee (to cover Hockey Canada/OWHA registration fees, insurance, and Hornets' administration costs).
3a. House League – Withdrawal between October 1 to December 31
Subject to a $350 administration fee (being the costs previously listed in (3) above and $200 for the player's share of ice and game costs (i.e. refs and timekeepers)).
4. Rep Players – Withdrawal between September 1 to December 31
Subject to a $125 administration fee (to cover Hockey Canada/OWHA registration fees, insurance, and Hornets' administration costs) and the players’ share of ice and game costs incurred to the date of withdrawal (i.e. (ice hours + game costs + dryland training + instructors + other team costs) / # of players per team) = additional assessment per withdrawing player). In addition Rep players must pay $150 for skaters and $165 for goalies for the 25th anniversary jersey (which they can keep).
5. No refunds after December 31st.
Players that must withdraw for medical reasons that prevent them from playing out the season between October 1st and December 31st can receive a refund of 50% of the registration fee paid. A Doctor's note must be supplied indicating that the player is unable to return to hockey for the remainder of the season. Player(s) will receive 50% of the registration fee up to December 31st. Jersey/Socks to be returned. Absolutely No Refunds
after December 31st.
If our 2021-22 season is delayed or interrupted due to Covid-19 related restrictions imposed by the Hockey authorities, government or public health, the Hornets will assess the refund policy at that time. The Hornets will seek to recover out of pocket costs (i.e. $125 fee for insurance, registration and admin costs, jersey costs, and out of pocket ice costs). As certain of these items are not known at this time, the "Covid-19 affected refund policy" will be developed and published closer to the start of the 2021-22 season. The Hornets primary goal in setting the refund policy is recovering the Association's out of pocket costs and treating our members fairly.
