If you wish to start a new league in a community that does not have a NBHAC registered program, please complete the league application form and the NBHAC will send you an information package on how to run a successful program.
TEAMS
To compete in NBHAC provincial, regional or national events, your team must play in a league that is officially registered with the NBHAC. If it is not, speak to your league organizer about joining, or assemble the teams in your league to discuss it. The NBHAC will gladly assist you in supplying all necessary information.
PLAYERS
To be eligible to play in NBHAC sanctioned tournaments, provincial, regional or national events, or perhaps even one day try out for Team Canada, you must be officially registered with a team/league that is a member of the NBHAC. If your league is not a member, please see the information on How to Join for Leagues & Teams. Players suspended from a member league may not play in any other NBHAC sanctioned league or event until their suspension has been completed and any outstanding fines paid
