- England Hockey Leagues
Post Deadline Transfer Process
As per the standard adult league regulations, the deadline for both new registrations and player transfers in the East Area Adult Hockey Leagues was 1st February 2025. Following this date any transfer needs to be approved by the ALMC prior to being started on GMS.
We have set up a request form that can be found here: Post Deadline Transfer Form
Once submitted, the ALMC will review the case for accepting the transfer, either accepting or rejecting the transfer. If the request is accepted, the player is free to register the transfer via the normal transfer process. If the request is rejected the player should not submit the transfer request on GMS.
A player transfer being completed on GMS without being approved by the ALMC and the player subsequently appearing in a league match for the receiving club will be deemed to be an ineligible player as per the regulations and the Team will be adjudged to not be complying with the principles of fair selection.
7.6.2 Final Registration Date:
◦ A new player (players who have not played for another club in a League match) must register by 1st February.
◦ Players may apply to the ALMC for late registration. The ALMC has discretion to approve or deny late registrations.
7.7.2 Transfer Deadline: A player may transfer between Clubs participating in the Leagues only once during the period from the start of the season to 1st February.
◦ Players may apply to the ALMC for late or additional transfers. The ALMC has discretion to approve or deny such transfers.
