General Refund Policy

General Refund Policy

The McKinney Ice Hockey Club strives to maintain fairness and clarity in our refund practices across all programs: including club dues, camps, and other registrations. Our approach is informed by USA Hockey guidance and standard practices among youth hockey organizations.

Case-by-Case Review

All refund requests are considered individually on a case-by-case basis. Circumstances such as injury, illness, family relocation, or other significant hardships will be reviewed by the Board to ensure thorough and compassionate evaluation.

Types of Registration Covered

  • Club Dues: Refunds may be available for extenuating circumstances.


  • Camps & Clinics: Requests related to skills camps, specialty clinics, and short-term programs are included.


  • Other Registrations: This covers tryouts, tournaments, and special events as applicable.

Request Process

  • Submit a written request (email or letter) to the Treasurer, Dodi Whaley, detailing the participant’s name, reason for withdrawal, and relevant dates.


  • The Board will review all requests and communicate decisions directly to the applicant.

General Principles

  • Refund amounts, if granted, depend on the timing of withdrawal and costs already incurred, such as ice time, administrative fees, and program-specific expenses.


  • Some items such as USA Hockey registration fees, purchased merchandise, or processing fees, are non-refundable.


  • League Fees are subject to the terms & conditions of the AT&T Metroplex High School Hockey League.


  • Once a program starts, partial or prorated refunds may be considered only under exceptional circumstances.


  • Withdrawals after posted deadlines or after substantial program delivery may result in no refund unless approved for special reasons.

Special Circumstances

Refunds or prorated credits may be considered for:

  • Serious injury or illness (doctor’s note required)


  • Family relocation


  • Program cancellation by the Club


  • Other exceptional and documented hardship cases approved by the Board

No-Refund Situations

No refunds will be issued for:


  • Voluntary withdrawals after deadlines


  • Dismissal for behavioral or disciplinary reasons


  • Missed sessions, absences, or choosing to join another club after registering

Processing Details

  • All owed equipment (i.e. loaner jerseys, etc.) and outstanding balances must be settled before a refund is issued.


  • Approved refunds will be processed promptly, minus any non-refundable or administrative costs.

All questions and refund requests should be directed to:

This policy helps ensure operational stability for our Club while providing a transparent, compassionate framework for families, consistent with USA Hockey and youth sports standards.
