Title: Placement Request Policy
Policy Statement:
This outlines the requirements and expectations of the various leagues regarding parent requests for placement. Placement requests must be completed by the first evaluation. All requests must be put in writing. All parents requesting a placement must sign the form and hand it into the Kitchener Minor Hockey Offices. Placement requests for two goaltenders will not be accepted.
Initiation, Minor Novice and Novice
In this age group the teams are formed by a committee made up of league officials. In this case they can take into consideration of all skill levels to ensure balanced teams. As such placement requests for these age groups are not defined. If the placement does not allow for balanced teams the request will be refused.
Minor Atom to Midget
In these age groups placement requests will not be accepted. The exception is for siblings and for players from out of town that meet the requirements allowing a placement request to be honoured. Ride requests for two goaltenders will not be accepted.
