Frequently Asked Questions - Registration
1. What is registration?
Registration is the process of signing your child(ren) up to participate for any GMHA programs and/or teams. Everyone who wants to play within any of our GMHA programs (Skating School, Mini-Gryphons, House League, Advanced Development Program, Representative, etc.) must register to be eligible to play.
2. How much does registration cost?
Costs differ each year, but typically the costs are around $600 or less for children under the age of 9. For children between the ages of 10-17, the costs are between $600-$700 on average.
3. How do I register?
To register, you begin on the GMHA website under the registration tab. You can review the information on the registration page, then click the Registration button, which will direct you to the Hockey Canada Registration System (powered by Spordle). You can login or create a parent profile, then follow the registration steps by searching for your child, and completing all the registration information and payment.
4. Why do I get redirected to the Hockey Canada website?
Hockey Canada is the governing body of GMHA, and all registrations go through the Hockey Canada registration portal. This is important to be completed to be considered fully registered. Not only to ensure your child is signed up for the upcoming season, but to ensure they are covered for insurance purposes as well. The Hockey Canada registration portal is powered by Spordle.
5. I forgot my password.
If you forgot your password, there is a “forgot my password” button you can click on at the login page. It can take a few hours to receive the email to change your password. If you require further assistance, please utilize the Spordle help function.

10. How do I know what to register my child for?
The registration process is mapped out in a way that you can only register your child for a program that is available based on their birth year. Therefore, you will only be able to register them for the program they are supposed to be in. There are a couple scenarios for younger aged children where there may be multiple options. For those seeing more than one option, please visit the GMHA website under “Our Programs” tab to look under the program information to decide what program would best suit your child.
11. What forms of payment are accepted?
Credit Card payments are accepted online. Cheques can be mailed or dropped off at the GMHA office. E-transfers are accepted as well. E-transfer email information is provided at the end of the registration process.

Be sure to include the follow details:
- Player's Full Name
- Player's Date of Birth
- Player's previous team (ie: U12 Brampton AA)
- Any other important information that may be relevant
13. Do I have to register my child to try-out for a team?
Tryouts are a different process from registration. You will need to purchase a tryout pass to tryout for a GMHA team.
