2024-2025 SEASON

The Respect in Sport (RIS) is a mandatory program under the playing rules and regulations of Hockey Alberta and Hockey Calgary. As of the 2018-2019 season Hockey Alberta instituted re-certification of the RIS Parent program every 4 seasons with the goal of continuing to educate members. One parent or guardian must complete this 1 hour online program BEFORE registering.

There is a nominal cost to the program and no pre-registration code is provided.

IMPORTANT NOTICE -- A participant’s registration will be considered “incomplete” if the member does not have a valid expiry date on the Respect-In-Sport “PARENT” Certificate, at the time of the participants registration.

*** If you completed the course correctly, the certification automatically uploads to your child's profile as soon as you are done ***
