Hockey Finder Cancellation Policy

The cancellation deadline for all divisions is 30 days prior to the start of the season. A full refund of league fees will be issued for qualifying cancellations. Jerseys are refundable if returned to Hockey Finder unused and in like-new condition. Absolutely NO cancellations will be processed within 30 days of the start of a season, with two exceptions. 1) a registered player may transfer their registration to another person (must fit the skill level of the division), at which point a refund will be issued; and 2) there is someone on a waitlist for the respective division willing to take the place of the rostered player requesting a refund. Hockey Finder will refund the amount paid by the waitlisted player minus a $20 administration fee.
