SMHA has made some changes to its registration process this year to be compliant with the Hockey Canada Registry (HCR).
All players must now enter their personal HCR # as part of the 2025-26 online registration process.
Below is information on how this new process works and how to obtain your HCR #:
Q: I played SMHA hockey in 2024-25. How do I obtain my HCR #?
A:You should not need to do anything to find your HCR # as it will populate in the Validator box when you get to that step. If we have your HCR # on file, it will populate in the Validator. Click Validate to go to the next step.
Q:I played SMHA hockey or minor hockey in another MHA in 2024-25 and my HCR number is not pre-filled. What do I do to obtain my HCR#?
A: Please follow the instructions below to locate your HCR #.
**For Registrants who have played minor hockey previously that need to look up their HCR #.
You can find your Hockey Canada Registry (HCR) number in your Spordle Account
Your Hockey information is hosted within Spordle. If you have been registered in hockey before as a player, coach, trainer, and/or official, here is how to find your HOCKEY ID (HCR) #:
Step 1: Log in to your Spordle account using the link above (Spordle Account).
Step 2: Click the profile icon in the top right corner.
Step 3: On the left side of the page, select "Members"
Step 4: Select your participant from the icons labelled with player initials.
Step 5: Click "View Profile"
The Hockey Canada ID (HCR #) is directly below the player's name. HCR # will be 8-14 digits.
Q: My HCR # is not accepted after I hit Validate. What do I do?
A: Please contact the SMHA office by email to make us aware. The likely issue is an incorrect birthdate in the HCR so it is not matching the birthdate in TeamLinkt. SMHA staff will edit and correct your birthdate in HCR and it will be good to go.
Q: I am new to minor hockey and have never had an HCR #. How do I obtain a new HCR #?
A: If you are new to minor hockey and have never had an HCR #, please follow the instructions below on how to obtain a new HCR#.
NEW TO MINOR HOCKEY AND DO NOT HAVE AN HCR # YET
**For new to hockey players only, follow the instructions below to obtain a HCR #:
Someone from SMHA will email you your newly created HCR # that you can type into the Validator and register with your home zone.
Q: What happens after I hit Validate?
A: If all of the Hockey Canada waivers are up to date, you will proceed to the payment page of the registration process. If there are waivers to be completed, they will pop up from Hockey Canada. Please complete the waivers and then you will proceed on with finalizing your registration process.
If you have questions, please email the SMHA office at smha@sasktel.net
