HOW IT WORKS
When you Click the Report a Complaint:
You will be linked immediately to an independent third-party service, called ALIAS where you will fill out the online complaint form. ALIAS will contact the complainant within 48 working hours; receivability conclusion target ≈ 10 business days (may flex based on party availability).

ALIAS does not handle association/club level complaints or concerns involving procedure, team selection, suspensions, match or misconduct reports, ice-time/ice allotments, or other complaints/concerns of this nature. These complaints should be sent to your local association/club according to their policies.
If you are unsure if your complaint constitutes maltreatment, please review the Alberta Universal Code of Conduct (AB UCC).
