H.N.O. says it is dispelling a rumour that they will not issue travel permits to teams wanting to compete in tournaments.
General Manager Trevor Hosanna says travel permits will be issued once an event is sanctioned properly and Minnesota Hockey seeks approval from U.S.A. Hockey late.
Hosanna says permits will be issued once Hockey Canada approves the event and so Hockey Northwestern Ontario is the last to know making it more difficult to approve a permit.
