- Data Entry person – home team of every game is responsible for entering in the games results from the official game sheet, no later than 24 hours after the game finishes. An online tutorial is available for using the scoring application.
- Game changes – need to be approved by your governor and a form filled out and signed by both teams first and then sent to the governor. Form link is on our website under CMHA Information-Forms. Game changes can be confirmed by email.
- League Governor for your tier – look on CAHL website for contact information on who your tier governor is.
- League play – new CAHL website is self explanatory – no more “portal access”. DO NOT book a tournament the first weekend after the re-tiering weekend.
- Provincials – takes precedent over league and tournament games and starts mid January. If playing a provincial game against a team in your league, this game can count as both provincial and league game if both teams agree to it before start of game and sign game sheet stating so. For teams going into Provincials –DO NOT book tournaments in late January – February!!!!!
- Playoffs – start the weekend after Family Day in February. Watch out when booking a tournament as playoffs take precedent.
- Team list – “a final” team list with jersey #’s is to be e-mailed to the Registrar. ABSOLUTELY NO changes are to be made to this list after it is sent to the Registrar unless you have approval from the Registrar!!
- Affiliations –Only players who are officially on your Hockey Canada team roster as players or affiliates may play with your team. Teams cannot at anytime just pick up a player, brother, sister etc. and add them for a game of any kind, league, exhibition or tournament. A player may only be affiliated to one team. Goalies are an exception.
- Coaches – Only coaches that have been carded to your team are allowed on your bench for games. Coaches that are carded to other CMHA teams may attend your practice and help on the ice for practices but may not go on your bench unless they are carded to your team. If you have a day where you are short coaches, you cannot just grab a willing parent and throw them on the bench.
- Suspensions – Managers – a copy of all (player or coach) referee suspension reports need to be forwarded to the Division Coordinator within 48 hours of the game. Any parent getting kicked out of the game also needs to be forwarded to Division Coordinator.
- Tournaments – can be found on Hockey Alberta website or on associations’ website. NO tournaments during tiering round or the first weekend after tiering weekend (CAHL rules). Teams going into Provincials – try not to book tournaments in late January – February as Provincials take precedent over any games!!!!!
- Hockey pucks – home team to provide warm up pucks to visiting teams in Chestermere.
- ICE – teams must give 72 hours notice to return ice to the Ice Director otherwise hours will be included in the teams’ yearly allotment. ice@chestermereminorhockey.com
When exhibition games are booked, teams inform the Ice Director and he will confirm the ice and the referees will be booked automatically. There is no need to contact anyone else to request referees. If an exhibition game is cancelled, the Ice Director and Referee Director MUST be informed ASAP!!!!
When teams are booking tournaments and league games need to be rescheduled, please try to allow for rescheduling of your home games before you commit to changing away games. This will give the Ice Director more options because you won’t already be committed on weekends that you have open.
- Referee Room is off limits to coaches, managers unless invited in. If you have a question, knock on the door to ask your question. Physically check to see if you have referees for all your home games at least ½ hour before game starts.
