Where Does the Money Go?
At Bruce Peninsula Minor Hockey, we know that every dollar matters—especially for families investing in their children’s sports experience. That’s why transparency is a core value in how we will operate as a non-profit organization. Each year, registration fees are carefully allocated to support the growth, safety, and development of our players, while ensuring we can keep the lights on and the ice ready.

Here’s how your registration dollars are spent:

  • 50% – Ice Time
    The largest portion of your fee goes directly toward ice rental. This ensures our players have access to quality facilities for practices and games throughout the season.

  • 20% – Referees
    Skilled, impartial officiating is essential to the game. We allocate one-fifth of our budget to paying certified referees who help keep games fair and safe.

  • 10% – Insurance
    Player safety is a top priority. Insurance protects our athletes, volunteers, and the association in case of injuries or unforeseen events.

  • 7% – League Fees
    These funds go to our governing league to cover things like scheduling, team registration, and participation in official programming.

  • 4% – Player Development
    This investment supports skills clinics and training tools that help players build their confidence and ability on the ice.

  • 4% – Business Expenses
    From website hosting to accounting software, these funds cover the behind-the-scenes costs that keep the association running smoothly.

  • 3% – Uniforms
    Each season, we will maintain and update jerseys and equipment as required to ensure every player is game-ready and proud to represent our community.

  • 2% – Awards & Recognition
    We reserve a small amount to celebrate achievements and sportsmanship at season’s end—a meaningful tradition that honors our athletes.

Our goal is to provide a rewarding hockey experience for every child, while being responsible stewards of the funds entrusted to us. Thank you for your ongoing support of grassroots hockey on the Bruce Peninsula.
