Protest


<INSERT GRAPGIC>

Registered participants or members of Hockey Saskatchewan may submit a Protest request only when permitted under the applicable Bylaw, Regulation, Playing Rule, or Policy.

Step 1 – Check Local Protest/Appeal Options First

Before submitting to Hockey Saskatchewan, you must first check if your local Minor Hockey Association or League has an internal protest/appeal process. Protest/appeals will only be considered at the provincial level if no local process exists or once it has been completed.
