Players are eligible for partial refunds of requests in writing and only :
Prior to start of season. A player may ask for a refund of dues paid (minus an administrative fee*) if she requests it in writing prior to the start of the season (for the winter season the start date is September 5, 2000).

Prior to team selection. A player may ask for a refund of dues paid (minus and administrative fee and preseason ice fee**) after September 1, 2000 if she requests it in writing prior to teams being selected (the third week of the preseason).

Once teams have been set, refunds-partial or otherwise-will not be granted.
League credits will be issued to players for reasons of injury and pregnancy. The player will not receive any funds. The NCWHL will keep a credit for the individual for one year, to be used for season registration only. The credit will be pro-rated to the date the league treasurer was informed in writing.
