Player Residency Information
SAMHA Boundaries
Adjacent
Minor Hockey Associations
In general, only
registrants residing within the authorized boundaries of the
Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association may register, and play, on
SAMHA teams. There are some exceptions to this rule which
involve applying for special exceptions from one of our parent
organizations, the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association
(BCAHA). These exceptions have to be applied for by the
registrant, and approved by BCAHA, each year. SAMHA
follows the rules on player residency as adopted by Hockey
Canada in their Regulations. In simple terms, a player is
eligible to register with SAMHA if the player habitually resides
with his/her parent(s), within our Association boundaries.
For additional information regarding the Hockey Canada residency
rules, including guardianship of players, check out the
Hockey Canada web site, or contact our
Registrar.

Minor Hockey Associations
Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association
belongs to the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA),
which is a regional district association of the provincial
British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association (BCAHA).
According to BCAHA, the following OMAHA minor hockey
associations are all considered to be adjacent to SAMHA for
different purposes, including player transfer.
Chase, North
Okanagan, Revelstoke, Sicamous, Valemount, Vernon
If, in any particular season, there

adjacent associations, players from these associations may make

this type of application must be applied for each year by the
player, and must be approved by their home Association, SAMHA,
OMAHA and BCAHA before the transfer can take place.
