Q: Why should my child play hockey?

A: Hockey is fun sport for kids of all ages, ability and size. It is a great way for your child to engage in physical activity, especially during the winter months.

Crossbar Account

Q: I'm not receiving membership emails...how can I resolve that?

A: CLHA utilizes Crossbar to email the entire membership. If you do not have a Crossbar account, you will not receive membership emails. Once you set up a Crossbar account, you will be added to the distribution list.

If you have a Crossbar account and are not receiving emails, you may not have your notifications enabled and you may miss important information if you elect to not receive these communications. Go to Account > Notifications and ensuring that at least the Club Marketing and Volunteer boxes are checked.
