  • Follow all instructions from Hockey Alberta described on the permit!
  • Ensure that the Hockey Alberta sanction # is clearly written on all game sheets.
  • Electronic Game Sheets
    • Hockey Alberta will be utilizing electronic game sheets for all sanctioned exhibition and tournament games going forward.
    • Using the Centre Ice Portal, home / host teams will be required to upload the game sheet within 24 hours from the completion of the exhibition game or tournament. A picture of the original game sheet along with all penalties will be required when entering the game sheet. Once entered, any infractions requiring supplemental discipline will automatically be forwarded to the appropriate Zone Minor Discipline Coordinator or Division of Hockey Chair.
    • With electronic game sheets in use, email submission of game sheets will now only be accepted by the Zone Minor Discipline Coordinator or Division of Hockey Chair for games taking place outside of Alberta.
