Creating an HCR Number

This guide will walk you through the steps to create an HCR (Hockey Canada Registry) number. The HCR number is a unique identifier used by Hockey Canada and its Members for managing registrations, rosters, player profiles, and more.

Please note: This is a two-step process and both steps must be completed in order to create an HCR number.

Step 1: Create a My Account Login

  1. Go to: https://myaccount.spordle.com/login

  2. Enter your email in the “Email” field and click Login.

    a. If the Password field appears, you already have an account. Enter your password or click “Forgot Password?” to recover it.
    If this occurs, proceed to Step 2: Create an HCR Number.

    b. If you receive the message “This account does not exist. Sign up”, click “Sign up” to continue creating your My Account login.

  3. Enter your first name, last name, a password, and confirm your password. Then click “Next”.

    Your password must:

    • Include at least eight (8) characters

    • Include at least one (1) number

    • Include at least one (1) uppercase letter

    • Include at least one (1) lowercase letter

    • Include at least one (1) special character

  4. Choose your primary language, enter your primary phone number, and your primary address. Click “Sign Up”.

    a. Please verify your address. If it does not appear properly due to Google address automation, you may enter it manually by clicking “Enter address manually” and filling out the fields.

  5. A six-digit code will be sent to your email. Enter the code in the “Code” field and click “Verify”.

    a. Check your junk/spam folder if you do not receive the email.
    b. If needed, click “Resend Email”.

  6. You will then be prompted to log in. Enter your password and click “Login”.

  7. The final step is reading and accepting the Spordle Terms and Conditions. Review the text and click “I Agree”.

You are now in My Account. For more information, you can review the documentation there.

Step 2: Create an HCR Number

  1. Now that you are in My Account, use this link:
    https://page.spordle.com/ohf/register/1f03d8e8-2cbd-64b0-bf79-0283fb345b55

  2. Click the red “Register Now” button, then select “Create HCR Number”, and then “Yes, let’s go!” You will be taken to your Branch’s registration page. Click “Register Now.”

  3. Enter the first name, last name, and birthdate for the participant you are registering.
    Only enter your own details if you are creating an HCR Number for yourself.
    Click “Search.”

    a. HCR will search the database and display participants with matching information. Review the name, age, and organization(s).
    If the match is correct, you may copy the HCR Number and you do not need to continue this step.

    b. If the participant does not appear or the results are not correct, click “Create a new participant.”

    Tip: Try variations of first names before creating a new profile (e.g., Sue/Susan, Elizabeth/Liz, Jim/James).

  4. Complete the Participant Creation Form. Mandatory information includes:

    • Email

    • Citizenship

    • Gender Identity

    • Identify as Indigenous

    • Race & Ethnicity

    • Phone Number

    • Phone Type

    • Address Type

    • Move-in Year

    a. Small “i” icons appear beside Gender Identity, Birth Country, and Race & Ethnicity explaining why this information is collected. Additional details are also included at the bottom of the form.

  5. Click “Create.” A window called “Manage Participant” will appear. Click “Register.”
    Choose “Skip the registration selection” and click “Next.”

  6. You will now see “Create HCR Number” as an Optional Item. Click the “+” to add it, then click “Next,” and then “Complete.”

    • If creating multiple HCR Numbers, click “Add another participant” and repeat Step 2 from item 4.

    • If finished, click “Checkout,” then “Next.”

  7. You must accept the Terms and Conditions by checking the required box. Then click “Next.”
    Select “Cash”—don’t worry, there is no cost—and click “Pay.”

  8. You have now completed the HCR Number creation.
    If you click the Invoice Number, you will be taken back to My Account and can view your invoice (also sent to your email).
    Your HCR Number will appear next to the participant(s) you registered.
