1.  I, the applicant, certify the information on the on line registration form to be true and consent to the Player participating in the hockey program of the PICTOU COUNTY MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION (hereafter will be noted as PCMHA).

The applicant, for himself, herself, themselves, their next of kin, executors, administrators assigns, hereby irrevocably releases the PCMHA, its officers, directors, coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, managers, referees, officials, servants, agents, and employees from all manner of claims or causes by actions in any way related to personal injury or property damage sustained by the registered player and/or the applicant in the course of participating in, viewing, or traveling to or from any of the games or programs sanctioned by the PCMHA.  I agree to extend this Waiver to include off-ice activities conducted by the team. These activities include use of gymnasium facilities for dry-land training activities and recreational sports such as floor hockey. Other activities may include team parties and/or road hockey.
 
3.  I, the applicant, agree to abide by the following conditions of membership as set out by PCMHA:
