Fees for 2020/21 Season

Due to the current limitations on the number of players on the ice at one time, our costs per player are significantly higher than a traditional season.  That said, there will be no team fees or travel for tournaments during the Fall Session.

Fall segment: 

1. Fees for the U8 (new: FUN2) through U19 fall segment fees to be $435.
   1. As pre-registration was $150, this leaves a balance owing for all participants already registered within this age range of $285.
   2. Fees for FUN1 (formerly Bunnies / U6) are still TBC.
2. Fees are due by October 7^th 2020.  We are currently only accepting online payments.
3. Athletes shall not be allowed to participate after October 7^th if payment has not been received by GCRA.
4. Family discounts: GCRA is not in a position to offer multi player family discounts at this time. We will re-evaluate this position for the winter segment.

Winter Segment:

1. Registration for the Winter Session will open later in the fall, it will be driven by the deadlines the City of Ottawa imposes on our ice purchases.  Similar to the Fall Session, we will structure the Winter Session based on the known constraints at that time.

Temporary amendment to the Bernie fund for the fall 2020 session

1. Extending the Bernie Cockburn Fund submission date to October 7^th, 2020 (update to section 5, para 1)
2. Updating the review period to commence November 1^st, 2020 (update to section 5, para 3)
3. a caveat that will allow families with multiple children registered with GCRA who apply to the fund be entitled to receive a rebate of $100 per player in excess of 2, in addition to any other benefits the fund offers.

Refund policy for the fall session:

1. Withdrawals prior to September 25th:  full refund of fees paid minus a $40 administration fee.
2. Withdrawals between September 26^th and October 31^st inclusive:  50% registration fees minus a $40 administration fee.
