TMHA PLAYER MOVEMENT AND AFFILIATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES
TMHA recommends that only second year players be assessed for an affiliate player or a permanent player. TMHA will however consider first year players for an affiliate or permanent player, as long as said affiliate player meets all three criteria points and said permanent player meets all four criteria points.
A parent may ask for their child to be assessed to move up and play in the division above theirs. This action will require a $100 fee to be paid before assessment. This fee will stand no matter what the outcome the assessment team gives.
Overage players that wish to be assessed to move down or has no team available in division will require TMHA assessment team to make an assessment on said player. Overage players getting an assessment to move down will require BC Hockey approval to be eligible to play in the NERHL. And require Alberta Hockey and the All Peace Hockey League approval to be eligible to play in the All Peace Hockey League.

TMHA also recommends that affiliated players play a minimum of 1 - 2 games after the new year. As long as it does not conflict with their own team, their own team will always come first.
Affiliate players may play a maximum of 10 games with their affiliate team. If players registered team completes its regular season and playoffs and their affiliate team season is still going on then player may play an unlimited amount of games (BC Hockey and Hockey Canada regulation)
