registration steps
Step 1: Check you live in our BOUNDARIES
NCHL communities
NCHL's boundaries are set out by Hockey Calgary.
To check if you live within the Raiders or McKnight's boundaries, you can click the link below.
Step 2: Locate your Hockey Canada ID
To locate or create a Hockey Canada ID number, you will need access to Spordle.
The link below will walk you through the steps to make an account if you do not have one already.
Once you are logged in, please refer to the second link in the document below, where you can find Hockey Canada IDs or create one for new players.
Step 3: SHIFT FORWARD
If you currently have Respect in Sport, it will remain VALID until its expiry. Upon expiry, Shift Forward will replace it
Heading into the 2026-2027 Hockey Canada will be launching The Shift Forward: Evolving Hockey Culture, a new learning and development program that is the home for national education and training with courses for coaches & parents/guardians.
The Shift Forward is an enhanced education program that was created following an extensive consultation process with stakeholders in Hockey Canada-sanctioned programs to understand how education and training can better support participants and the key objective of changing unhealthy behaviours in the game.
In an effort to support a successful transition to The Shift Forward, Hockey Canada & Hockey Alberta continue to recognize existing Respect in Sport Certification for the duration of each individual's expiry.
One parent or guardian must complete this 90-minute online program BEFORE registering.
There is a nominal cost to the program.
IMPORTANT NOTICE -- A participant’s registration will be considered “incomplete” if the member does not have a valid expiry date on the Shift Forward or Respect-In-Sport “PARENT” Certificate at the time of the participant's registration.
