Travel/game Permits
Why You Need A Travel/game Permit
Hockey Canada only sanctions events in which all participants are registered members of Hockey Canada or USA Hockey. When playing in a tournament or exhibition game you need to verify your registration with the branch and a travel/game permit serves as the verification that your team and its members are registered with Hockey Northwestern Ontario. Teams traveling without a travel/game permit will be subject to a fine and loss of further travel/ game permits.
How to get a Travel / game Permit
Starting with the 2017/18 season a portal based system will be used for Travel/ Game Permits. Each association will have an individual with a login that will apply for the travel/game permits for all the teams in that association.
So, team managers must follow the protocol put in place by your association to apply for travel/game permit in a timely manner.
Travel/Game Permits are required for all tournaments (except the tournament hosted by your own association) and all exhibition, including non league scheduled games and non HNO teams (ie – USA Hockey, OWHA, Hockey Manitoba, etc.)
Travel Permits will be issued within 48 hours of the start of the game/tournament.
Please contact your local association for more information.
Approved Travel/Game Permits will be issued to the contact email via the HNO Portal.
