TBMHA teams wanting to participate in a tournament or schedule an exhibition game must submit a Travel Request. Requests for either are submitted using the same form.
All Travel Requests for Exhibition Games should be submitted at least 10 business days in advance of your game to avoid late fees. For Exhibition Games against an HNO opponent, only 1 team needs to submit a Travel Request.
TBMHA Regular Season games are scheduled around Tournament Dates. To accommodate Travel Requests in the TBMHA Regular Season game schedule, submissions need to be made before the following deadlines:
Travel Period | Division |
Deadline |
---|---|---|
October 2025 |
All | Friday September 5th, 2025 |
November & December 2025 | AAA* & AA | Friday September 19th, 2025 |
November & December 2025 | A | Friday September 26th, 2025 |
January & February 2026 | All | Friday October 3rd, 2025 |
*applies to teams that play TBMHA scheduled games.
*** Only submit Tournament Travel Requests if you are confident you are attending the tournament ***
After submitting your Travel Request, you will receive a confirmation email. Please keep this email as proof you submitted your Travel Request.
Travel Requests submitted after the deadline that conflict with a Regular Season Game require a Game Swap Form to be approved.
This means teams will be expected to figure out how to schedule around their conflict and then submit the change to the TBM Office for approval. Submit your request on time to avoid this extra task!
Once a Travel Request is approved by TBMHA, we will use the information to apply for an HNO Travel/Game Permit. HNO Travel /Game Permit Fee is $16 + HST for all tournament travel or exhibition games against non HNO teams. There is no fee for exhibition games against an HNO opponent. Travel/Game Permits submitted on short notice are subject to a $50 late fee. Click here for more info on HNO Travel Permits.
Once a Travel/Game Permit is approved by HNO, the approved permit will be sent to the email address submitted with your Travel Request. Approvals typically occur 7 to 10 days before your event.
Please contact the TBM Hockey Office if:
