  1. How Much are Fees?
    • Below is the fees and average time commitment for last season (2025-2026) and includes payment for a $50 cash calendar that you can sell to reduce your costs or enter to win. PMHA will offer payment plans. Generally, most teams will attend a few tournaments outside of the PMHA regular season, windups will be planned, matching socks purchased. So, expect a “Team Fee” charged by the coaches to cover the costs of this. Team fees generally range from $125-175 per player. Each Age group will have a home tournament hosted for them by Portage Cup and those home teams will have an opportunity to sell 50/50, rainbow auction, toonie stick, etc. as fundraisers to off-set team fees.

If parents have previously completed, you are not required to complete again. This online program only takes about 1 hour to complete, and the cost is $12 plus GST. PMHA does not receive any money from this program as it is mandated through Hockey Manitoba. If you do not take the course by November 1, 2021, your player(s) will not be allowed on the ice. Please make sure to add all of your children (who will be registering for hockey) to your RIS Parent Program profile. Details and link to Respect in Sport for Parents can be found on Hockey Manitoba’s website.


  1. Do I need to register with PMHA if player is trying out for a U13, U15 or U18 Regional Team?
    • Yes. PMHA is requesting that all U13, U15 & U18 players who wish to try-out for the regional team register with PMHA by July 31st. This will allow for the try-outs as well as for PMHA to determine if a team in that age category is possible. If the player makes the regional team, they will be released. If the player does not try-out or does not make the regional team, they are to play on Portage house team. In the event a Portage team is not formed, players will be released to their closest team as per Hockey Manitoba residency regulations.
