NJC REGISTRATION
Welcome to the National Junior Circuit!
VISION
The NJC is an all-inclusive circuit designed to provide opportunities for elite level junior boys & girls to compete against the best from across the country. There is a lot of excitement for this initiative and NJC will be the premier platform for junior boys high school/prep and club programs. The NJC will establish a Board of Directors that will consist of some of the top Coaches and Builders from across Canada. The NJC will leverage the experience of the Board to ensure it meets the standards that will ensure its success and growth. The circuit will host (5) week-end sessions and (1) Championship event. This will help attract the top programs and ensure National representation. The NJC will bring together the country, providing student athletes an opportunity to build long-lasting experiences and memories, while learning about Canada.

Students may only play for one NJC team, and must play in at least one circuit game in order to be eligible for the National Championship event. There will be NO exceptions or allowances for overage players. Also of note:
1. NJC players are eligible to play up in our Platinum Circuit preliminary sessions as long as it’s for the same school’s participating SR program.
2. The NJC will allow a grade 8 or underaged player to compete in the NJC if they are registered in your program/school, these same players would also be eligible for the NJC Championship event.
3. The NJC is accepting Rep/Club teams as in previous years, it will be a mixed schedule of Prep/Rep.
If a student athlete transfers mid-season to another program participating in the NJC, that student athlete may NOT be eligible for any future NJC events. The transfer’s new program can submit an application outlining any special circumstances for the transfer which will of course be verified by the previous program, reviewed and voted on by the NJC Executive Board.
