Waitlist Information:
With the growth of our population in Sylvan Lake, SLMHA has placed capacities on most age divisions.
- If the tryout level in your division is full - register in an available tryout level within the age division and email admin to change tryout to required level.
- If the division is FULL - TeamSnap will prompt you to be added to the Waitlist
- AA & AAA Tigers Tryouts - If division is full and your player would like to tryout for AA & AAA Tigers, please email admin. There is NO capacity on AA & AAA Tigers tryouts.
- Players on A/B or BASE Lakers waitlist that would like to register for Tigers tryouts, unfortunately we still cannot guarantee availability A/B or BASE Lakers if released from AA & AAA Tigers tryouts.
- SLMHA will exhaust all avenues to ensuring players have a place to play hockey should they not make a roster in Sylvan Lake.
Being on our waitlist does not mean that a player will not be able to play in SLMHA this season, we are merely being conservative until we receive our ice allocations from the Town of Sylvan Lake. Once we have confirmed our allocations, we hope to begin clearing our waitlists in the order of which they were received.
If for any reason we are not able to accommodate all players on our waitlist, we will do our best to assist in finding the player an association to play with this season.
