SMHA Player Assistance Fund

We are thrilled to announce the formalization of the SMHA Players Assistance Fund. 

SMHA has funds from outside donations and expired 50/50 credits to assist families with the cost of hockey, who may not otherwise be able to afford it. These funds can be used in addition to awards received from other sources such as KidSportJumpstart and the Hockey Canada Assist Fund to reduce the fees incurred for the year.

The full policy document and a link to the online application are posted here on our website, or by going to www.FlyersHockey.ca and looking under Registration for Financial Aid.

If you are submitting an application for Financial Aid to any of the sources noted above, please complete regular season registration before the Friday, Sept 9th Registration Deadline and select EMT as payment type. Then, please forward any financial aid approvals to Finance@FlyersHockey.ca.

Thank you to the newly-formed Finance Committee headed by SMHA Treasurer Tara McFeters for preparing the policy and overseeing the fund's administration. Questions can be directed to Tara at Treasurer@FlyersHockey.ca.
