Frequently Asked Questions: What families need to know
When will these changes take effect?
All rezoning changes will take effect for June 1st 2026 and impact the 2026-27 season.
I live in the "New South Zone", who do I reach out to?
Email newsouthzone@cmba.ab.ca with any questions not answered here.
Will anyone be grandfathered into their previous zone?
No. CMBA is not grandfathering participants into their former zone. All athletes will follow the new boundaries once the changes take effect.
What will the name/colours/brand of the new zone be?
These are all TBD and will be chosen early 2026 with input from the families that live in the new zone.
I live outside the city limits but don't appear in a zone. Which zone do I go to?
Contact the zone closest to you geographically. That is likely your zone and they will confirm for you.
How will I know which zone I’m in?
Use the new boundary map here the visually check AND search by postal code.
Families living south of 22X and inside the Calgary city limits will register in the Southern Zone in 2026.
What if I live near a boundary road?
Boundaries will use the centreline of major roads and official city limits. CMBA will publish specific guidance for edge cases and, in rare complex situations, will work directly with families to find appropriate solutions.
Will travel increase for my family?
One of the core goals of this rezoning plan is to reduce overall travel. In particular, families in the deep south should experience more local practices and shorter travel times.
How does this help parity across the league?
The Southern Zone removes a large and growing population segment from Bow River, balancing the number of teams per zone. This creates more equitable tiering, seeding, and playoff structures across the league.
Does this change fees or league structure?
No. Registration fees and overall league format are not being changed by this proposal. Each zone will continue to calculate fees on a yearly basis as they do now.
