As SGHA prepares for tryouts and the upcoming season, players and families are asked to review the information below regarding Permission to Tryout (PTT) requests and Releases.

All Permission to Tryout (PTT) requests must be submitted through the online form below. Email requests will not be processed.

Permission to Tryout (PTT)

A PTT allows a player to attend tryouts with another OWHA association while still registered with SGHA.

• Players are not permitted to participate in any on-ice activities with another association prior to April 14, 2026 without a valid PTT.
• SGHA will review all PTT requests on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the programs offered within the association and in accordance with OWHA guidelines.
• A PTT does not release a player from SGHA.
• PTT requests will only be processed once a player is in good standing with the association, including any outstanding fees or equipment.

Release

A release removes a player from SGHA and allows them to join another association.

• A release may be required for players wishing to try out at levels offered within SGHA or to leave the association.
• The Registrar will confirm the player is in good standing, including any outstanding fees or equipment.
• Once approved, the release will be processed through the OWHA registration system. A Player then becomes a member of OWHA Releases.

• PTT requests will be reviewed beginning April 12, 2026.
• Requests are processed in the order they are received.
• Please allow up to 48 hours for processing during peak periods.
• Approved PTTs will be sent by email using the contact information provided on the form.
• Players should keep a copy (digital or printed) of their approved PTT available for all tryouts.

• Submitting a PTT request does not guarantee approval.
• Requests submitted prior to April 12, 2026 will not be reviewed.
• All players must follow OWHA regulations regarding player movement and tryouts.
• SGHA is committed to a fair, consistent, and policy-driven process for all families.
