It is the OWHA police that female players remain automatically tied to the OWHA association that they were last registered with.  This is the case for BOTH house league and competitive players.  Players releases or Permission to Skate forms are not required for movement to or from any Boys Hockey Associations, as they are not part of the OWHA.

If you are trying out for WGMHA or any other girls’ association... a “Permission to Skate” form must be filled out and signed by a designated executive member and presented to the association for which the player wishes to try out before she is allowed on the ice. 

-  Requests for “Permission to Skate” must be sent to ravensregistration@rogers.com .  We will need at least 7 days to prepare these forms and get them back to you.  Please include the following information in your request – Player Name, Mailing Address and Telephone Number and Association & team(s) trying out for.

-  No “Permission to Skate” forms may be used for the period between January 1st and two days after all the Provincial Championships for any teams during the current season (2009-10 season – valid as of 12:01am on April 14, 2010).
