PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

• Players must reside in the West Fargo School District but do not need to attend West Fargo Public Schools. 
• Players who live outside of the West Fargo School District must first play for their local affiliate if Junior Gold is offered. 
• If they do not reside in an area that has either has a local affiliate or offers Junior Gold, they are essentially a “free agent” to play in any Junior Gold program. One exception is if the player has already established play with an affiliate, that is considered their local affiliate.  (Example would be a Casselton player who has always played for the Freeze is considered a part of the Freeze affiliate.)

PRIOR PARTICIPATION IN OTHER JUNIOR GOLD PROGRAMS
Players who have participated in the Fargo Freeze Junior Gold program must participate in the WFHA program unless a waiver/transfer form has been submitted and approved by Fargo, West Fargo, and NDAHA.  West Fargo and Fargo will do our best to ensure players are able to participate in the programs of choice but ultimately must make the best decision for the program and the teams.  We will work to communicate these changes as soon as they are made.

Players must be registered in their home program to be considered for this option and must complete & submit the transfer/waiver forms as required by NDAHA found HERE.

HOCKEY EXPERIENCE
Players do not need to have played for the West Fargo Stampede previously to participate but hockey experience is highly recommended for the safety of all play.

FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE
The first day of practice has been moved from Monday, November 14th to Monday, November 21st at 4:15 pm in Vets 1.   

TRYOUTS/EVALUATIONS
Depending on the enrollment, we will decide if an evaluation process is necessary and communicate to those players appropriately.
