Kingston Canadians Rep Program General Information

This page provides general information On the setup, structure and scheduling of the Kingston Canadians Rep Program. Please note that this is just a general overview of the program and any information may be modified without notice.


Rep Hockey is a fast-paced, highly competitive level of play that offers a greater challenge to players 9 years of age and older. KAMHA is an AA Center and offers two levels of competitive hockey: AA, A. Tryouts are held before each season to select those players who represent the more skilled and talented players in their age group.

Rep Hockey is a much larger commitment than House League, both in time and financial. The amount of games and practices varies by division and even from week to week, but typically Rep teams are on the ice 3-5 times per week. They compete in the LAKESHORE league and will travel for road games. These teams will also typically attend as many as 3 tournaments per season.


REGISTRATION FEES and COST

The Fee to play Rep Hockey is a combination of two fees that consists of the house league base fee and the Rep Fee Surcharge to account for all the extras that come with playing on a Rep team. The registrar will notify the appropriate team officials of any outstanding fees. Unpaid fees will result in loss of playing privileges. The base house league fee and Rep fee surcharge is set by the KAMHA executive at the end of each season before June 1st. The Rep Fee does not include the cost for busses, tournament or any other extra team approved activities.

Each team is responsible for their own operating or team budget during the season. The costs to run a team can be quite substantial and include such items as tournament entry fees, bus travel, non-parent coaches expenses (hotel lodging and meals during tournaments) team apparel, etc. The team budget is divided equally amongst all the players on the team. This amount can be fundraised by the team.

As these expenses vary from team to team and from season to season it is impossible to provide a fixed cost for Rep Hockey. At the start of each season the team staff will hold a parent's meeting to review and finalize the team's season budget.
