Thank you for your interest in joining the ARL! We strive to make the registration process as easy as possible. To that end, this page will answer some of the more common questions we’ve received over the years. If you feel something is missing or if you still have outstanding questions, please reach out to us.
For the purpose of this FAQ, the ARL – Adult Rookie Hockey League – may be refered to interchangeable as “we”, “us”, the “ARL”, or “Rookie Hockey” with owned assets referred to as “our(s)”.
Registration is all completed digitally via the Rookie Hockey website. The registration landing page can be found here.
The ARL has 2 season; Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Typically, registration opens 2 months prior to the start of the season. This means the Summer season opens in February, while the Winter Season opens in July. An announcement will be made on the News page the day registration has been opened.
At the time of writing, the ARL provides the option of making payments via Debit*, Credit Card or Interac e-Transfer.
*The Debit card must display a Visa or MasterCard logo. Alternatively, a PayPal account provides the ability to link a bank account and make payments that way.
The ARL makes every practical attempt to safe-guard transactions performed on our website. This includes (but is not limited to) utilizing HTTPS (TLS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3), HSTS, and the latest security patches. Qualsys, a trusted SSL testing suite, gives us an A+ rating! (as of: 2/10/2019)
No. Payments made via credit card are processed via external, 3rd-party vendors. At the time of writing, these vendors are Stripe and PayPal; 2 highly reputable online payment gateways. For more information on how your information may be stored, please see their respective websites.
If you elect to use the split-payment option, the first half of the registration fee will be due at the time of sign-up, with the second half due in 30 days.
If you paid the first installment with a credit card (Stripe/PayPal), your card will automatically be billed the second installment in 30 days. If the transaction fails, you will receive an email with a link to follow to make the payment.
If you paid the first installment with e-Transfer, an invoice containing a link to make the second installment payment will be generated in 30 days and sent via email.
Failure to complete the second installment payment within a timely manner (at the sole discretion of the ARL) may result in the rejection of your registration as well as monetary loss as outlined in the Refund Policy.
This fee could have easily been called a ‘convienience fee’ or similar. If you elected to pay by Stripe or PayPal, you will likely see this additional charge. Both Stripe and PayPal charge a 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee (1, 2 ) for all credit card transactions. In an act of transparency, we elected to show this charge clearly on checkout.
This fee only applies to Stripe and PayPal. There is no additional fee for payments made by e-Transfers, although your banking institution may charge their own fee for the use of e-Transfer depending on your account type. Please refer to your bank for charges or fees they may charge
When you register to play in the ARL, you are given the option to also sign-up for an ARL account (“My ARL Account”). This is highly recommended as it ties all your interactions with us to an easy to manage portal. To access your account, please go to My Account.
If you received a “Your registration is accepted” email from the ARL, your registration was more than likely processed without issue. If you would still like to confirm, you can see your current registration status on your My Account page (provided you elected to sign-up for an account at registration). Otherwise, please contact us to confirm.
