The CCHL Board of Directors is happy to announce that registration for the 2026/2027 season is now open. Registration will remain open until early September. Please feel free to send the link below to anyone who may be interested in participating in the CCHL this year.

Season will run from Oct. 1st until April 3rd/2027.

If these times or dates DO NOT work with your winter schedule, please do not register.

Fees

We are pleased to announce that fees will remain at $675 for the season. Each team will play over 40 regular season games along with 2 guaranteed playoff games. Despite rising costs, we have been able to keep league fees at $675 for a fourth consecutive season. Goalies will pay half league fees ($338).

If these fees are outside of your budget, please DO NOT register.

As always, we are happy to consider payment options (ie two or three payments throughout the year) on a case by case basis. It is up to you to reach out. Failure to pay on time will result in immediate expulsion from the league. Unfortunately, we need to be very strict on this based on previous seasons.

Refund Policy

Refunds will be processed on a half season basis only. That means that if you have to leave the league between Oct. 1 and Dec. 22nd (life happens), we will issue you a 50% refund. Once you start the second half of the season (Jan 2nd-April 3rd), you will be ineligible for a refund.

If you do not agree with this refund policy, please DO NOT register.

Finally, we anticipate having more applicants than available spots again this season. Registration does not guarantee you a spot in the upcoming season. Captains will reach out to their teams in mid September and those on the waitlist will be notified via email. Please take a moment to provide some information about yourself in the comment section of the registration, it is very helpful.

Player conduct agreement

All CCHL players are required to agree to abide by the player conduct agreement. Please read the agreement and indicate your agreement below.

The Canyon City Hockey League (CCHL) was founded on the ideals of sportsmanship, fun, safety, camaraderie, community, inclusion, equity, communication, responsibility, participation, being proactive and building trust.

We expect each player to adhere and promote these values. We encourage each member to share their ideas and take part in the league’s affiliated social activities. By doing this we hope to build collaboration, cooperation and strengthen community around our values.

In consideration of participation in the CCHL:

1. All players agree to adhere to all the rules and policies of the CCHL and Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association (CARHA).

2. All players and teams agree to take responsibility for their actions. It is everyone’s prerogative to establish and maintain a fun, safe, equitable and cooperative environment on and off the ice. All players agree to extend common respect to everyone involved with the CCHL.

3. All players agree to be responsible for supervising and self-governing their teammates and enforcing strong sportsmanship and communication while promoting the values of the CCHL. League officials are provided on and off the ice for guidance. The league officials, including the Fair Play Committee, will provide a minimum acceptable guideline to assist teams and players in remaining within the values and mission of the CCHL.

If there are any issues with missed infractions or consistent unsportsmanlike behaviour from specific opposing players, players agree to indicate it to their captain, who can then discuss it further with the referees and/or opposing captains during the game and/or with league officials after the game. Finally, every team agrees to demand discipline from their own players before they expect it from others. Repetitive unsportsmanlike behaviour or egregious infraction of the rules of the CCHL may lead to expulsion from the league. In case of player expulsion, fees may be forfeited at the discretion of CCHL.

4. All players agree to collaborate through assisting the league in administration work and/or fundraising and to always work toward benefiting the CCHL as a whole and never to exploit the league and its community for the benefit of an individual, team or a group, unless the league approves in advance (e.g. helping raise some financial assistance for a member who has lost his/her main source of income due to an accidental hockey injury).

I agree to abide by the conditions of the CCHL player conduct agreement

What's next?

Captains will reach out to their teams in mid September and those on the waitlist will be notified via email.
