What is a player card, who needs them and how do I get one?
Player Cards are an identification card required by all Tier 1, 2 & 3 players and ALL U16 and U18 players in order to play in the E.M.S.A. League. Cards may be obtained by going to your assigned Zone player carding session (see this website for dates & times) or by calling the EMSA Office to arrange for a time. You do not need to know which team you will be playing on in order to get a player card – just that you will be playing in Tier 1,2, or 3 or are a U16 or U18 player. You are required to bring a piece of I.D. with your full first and last name on it in order to process your card. Acceptable forms of I.D. are Birth Certificate, Driver’s License, Baptismal Record, Alberta Health Care Card with the players FULL name (no initials) on it. Student I.D.’s will not be accepted. Player Cards are valid for 3 years, coaches cards are usually valid for 5 years. Expired cards will be replaced at no charge. There is a $20 replacement fee for non-expired cards.
