All parents are reminded that any injury resulting in missed ice time requires a Return to Play form signed by a physician prior to the player's return to the ice. Missed ice time includes leaving a game or practice and not returning, or missing a game, practice or team event such as dry land training due to an injury outside of hockey.
Under no circumstances is a player to return to team activities until a signed form has been submitted to the team HCSP. A copy of the Return to Play form can be found here.

The Port Moody Minor Hockey Association acknowledges that we play and enjoy hockey on Indigenous lands. Our home rink resides on the ancestral and unceded territories of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and Stó:lō (Sto:lo) Peoples, in what is known today as Port Moody.
