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.
• PTT requests are reviewed in accordance with SGHA policy and OWHA regulations.
• A PTT does not release a player from SGHA.
• Players must be in good standing, including all fees paid and equipment returned.

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.
• Players must be in good standing, including all fees paid and equipment returned.
• Once approved, the release will be processed through the OWHA registration system.

• PTT requests will be reviewed beginning April 12, 2026.

• Please allow up to 48 hours for processing during peak periods.
• Approved PTTs will be sent by email.
