2026 / 27 Season Registration is OPEN

We are happy to announce that 2026 / 27 Riptide Season Registration is open!

Registration can be completed online using this link:

Anyone new to hockey will need to create a new account to register. Returning players should register using the same account as last season.

Two very important things to read:

  1. NEW for this season, players who will be buying socks this year will do that as part of registration. You will add socks as an additional Item. Please make sure you select the right size when making this choice.
  2. If you played for a different minor hockey association last season, you will need to request a transfer before you can register online with the Riptide. Our Registrar can help with this, so please email registrar@westernriptide.com.

We look forward to seeing everyone back on the ice soon!
