Tryouts

Competitive tryouts will be held from April 15 to May 10, 2026. See the full schedule for details. 

The CGHA intends to register competitive teams at the following levels: 

Tier 1: U9, U11, U13, U15, U18
Tier 2: U9, U11, U13, U15, U18

Players interested in trying out will be required to: 

• Register on RAMP for the appropriate tryout package (note that tryout packages for the 2026/2027 season will be available under the 2025/2026 tab)
• Pay tryout fee in full prior to the first ice time (e-transfer can be sent to cornwallghatreasurer@gmail.com)
  • one time cost of $175 for Tier 1 (note that you do not need to re-register or pay for tier 2 if you are not chosen for a tier 1 team)  
  • $125 for Tier 2 
  • Tryout fee includes two jerseys (one dark, one light). Players must bring both jerseys to each tryout session. Jerseys are kept by the player and must be repurchased if lost.
• Arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the first tryout for sign in and jersey distribution
• If from outside of CGHA but within the province of Ontario, provide a completed Permission to Tryout form signed by a designated executive member of the player’s current association/team OR request a release from their current association
  • a release or Permission to Tryout is not required for players transferring from a minor male/coed hockey organization
  • a release or Permission to Tryout is not required for players registering with OWHA for the first time
• If from outside of the province, request a release and transfer from their current association
• If from outside of Canada, complete a USA Hockey/Hockey Canada Try-out Notice and electronically submit it to cgharegistrar@gmail.com (this must be done at least 1 week prior to first tryout date, given it must be approved by OWHA before player can attend)

Goalies are requested to also pre-register by sending an email to the VP of Competitive indicating player name and level of play (i.e. U9, U11, U13, U15, U18). 

Please direct any questions to the VP of Competitive.
