To all North Stars
Players:
Travel to Canada for hockey and
other international travel is getting more complicated
every year.
Passports will soon be required
for ALL international travel, including to and from
Canada:
January 23, 2007 - Passport requirement applied to all air
and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South
America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.
January 1, 2008 - Requirement extended to all land border
crossings as well as air and sea travel.
It now takes from 6-8 weeks to
obtain a new passport. Since we have tournaments in Canada
planned for 2006-07, all players should have or apply for
passports now. Passports for minors 15-years and
younger are valid for five years. All other passports
(16- and older) are valid for ten
years.

Stars parents/guardians should fill out a
"Permission to Travel" form for their hockey player and have
it Notarized.
