Overage U18 Minor Player Policy and How to Apply
OVERAGE U18 MINOR PLAYER POLICY
Hockey Nova Scotia recognizes that some players within the Minor hockey structure may find
themselves without an opportunity to continue to play hockey because of their birthdate and some
other circumstances. The players in question are those who have played minor hockey for a number of
years, are still in High school, their birth date is between September 01 and December 31 of the year in
question, and they would now have no opportunity to continue playing hockey because they will be too
old for the U18 Division as per HNS Regulations and there are no other teams in their area that could
allow them to continue playing the game of hockey within HNS.
HNS will now allow these players to make application to continue to play hockey within the U18
Division provided the player qualifies as per the guidelines established by HNS. This policy is intended
only for use by players who have previously registered at the U18 B or U18 C levels. Under this policy
any player who has played at the U18 A level or above is not eligible to play as an overage player in U18
within HNS. Overage U18 players shall not displace any age appropriate U18 player. These players who
qualify as per these HNS guidelines shall be granted all the rights and privileges accorded by Hockey
Canada and HNS including league play, tournaments, HNS play-offs but are not eligible to play on teams
who compete for Inter-Branch Championships.

after receiving all the documentation and the application. All Documentation and the completed
application form must be submitted to HNSMC by November 15th of the year in question, no late
applications will be accepted.
