4. Player Registrations
Returning Players: Club convenors must ensure for their records that the email address provided for each currently registered player is correct and valid.
To ensure that details of registered players could be recorded and shown correctly on their respective team lists in time, please upload all player details and related documents (including photos) onto the HKHAWS player database before 5pm on Wednesday 25 August 2021.
New players: new players should use this link to submit their registration with affiliated clubs to enter into the women's winter league: http://www.hockey.org.hk/WomenRegistration.asp
Once the player submits the form, an email notification will be sent to the club convenor. The convenor must then log on to the system, check the details, assign the team and shirt number and submit the registration to the HKHA through the system.
New players aged below 18 years old: convenors must print out the completed registration form (a print button is provided for doing so) for the player's parent/guardian signature and then upload a copy of the signed form to the system.
If the club does not accept a new player’s registration, the convenor shall use the "reject" button to respond to the player.
Registration forms must be completed online by 5pm on Monday 23 August 2021.

The submission of the completed Google Forms is MANDATORY for the player registration in 2021-22 season.

6. Ongoing communication with HKHAWS
During these uncertain times we appreciate some teams may be experiencing difficulties either now or later in the season and we strongly encourage all clubs to maintain open communication with us about potential difficulties so they can be considered carefully by the Committee earlier on. For example, the minimum number of players that may be registered in a team is 15 players. Should you have any concerns about meeting this requirement please contact the HKHAWS by 2pm on Friday, 13 August 2021 so that the Committee may consider any potential dispensations on a case by case basis prior to the payment deadline.
Best regards
The Hong Kong Hockey Association
