Congratulations on receiving a Standard Player Agreement for the Ontario Hockey League.!
This guide will walk you through the digital signature process, powered by RinkNet, and what to expect when you receive an e-mail notification when a contract has been initiated.

For Agents

A copy of your client's Permissible Benefits being offered by the signing team will be sent over to you for review. This is the first step in the Standard Player Agreement.
  1. You will receive an email from no-reply-contracts@rinknet.com with the negotiated terms for your client's Player Agreement. Please check your junk or spam folder if you did not receive this email.
      

  1. The Team's contact will be copied in this email and you can reply if you have any questions. If you have not received the email from the Team, you may request the Team to click the Remind button their end to re-send a copy of the email.
  2. If all the terms look correct, click on the button at the bottom Send to Player. This will send an email to your client, who will have the option to select a Legal Representative as part of the agreement process. 

NOTE: It is important to click the Send to Player button when all the terms look acceptable, otherwise your client's contract will not be created in the system.

For Players and Parents

The Player / Parent review process will start with a selection for Legal Review. Additionally, if the player is a minor, the player's Guardian will be required to review and sign the agreement as well.

  1. You will be receiving an email from no-reply-contracts@rinknet.com to first specify whether you would like to use a Legal Representative for review of your contract. Please check your junk or spam folder if you did not receive this email.
