Use of Affiliates

​

• The goal of affiliation is to allow players to compete and develop at a higher level while providing the higher-level team with a player to fill their roster for practices and games. 

• Disagreements in participation in the affiliation process will be escalated to the Division Manager for a final decision.

• A player may be affiliated with only one team, as per Hockey Alberta. 

​

2. All other affiliations are selected by the affiliating team's Head Coach before October 15th. 

3. The Raiders program must finalize affiliate selections prior to October 15th.
