Notice to Parents, Coaches and Volunteers
We
hope provides all the players with fun and fair competition that makes for
lasting memories.
A few issues have come up over the
past few seasons which makes this notice necessary. We want avoid
future difficulties for coaches, convenors and league
executives, by ensuring everyone understands and follows the rules listed
below:
1. Players can only play full time on one team
within the OHF. We live in an age where registration databases are quickly
shared among the hockey partners in the OHF for these and other operational
issues. Examples below:
* Players cannot play full time on both a
house-league and a select or rep team or 2 house-league teams
* Players cannot register to play in both the CMHA
and a neighboring association to play at the same time (ex. Orangeville,
* Players cannot register to play in a girl's league
(Orangeville,
2. All call-ups and AP situations must be arranged
through Convenor and or executive member to ensure
fairness in selection and do not penalize the call-up's primary team.
3. When a situation exists where a player is moved
up an age category for the year, the determination is made first by the league
that there is an operational need to do this. It is then determined that the
player is able and that the parents are willing to let their child move up.
Players do not move up simply because the parents themselves deem the player
able.
4. Players in the CMHA can only practice with the
team they are registered with. A player cannot join a friend's or sibling's
practice to get extra ice-time.
5. Parents cannot provide false information to
accomplish any of the above
Breaching these rules may bring about serious
sanctions for the coaches and players involved. Some of these sanctions are
imposed not only by the CMHA, but backed by the OMHA and OHF. This would
affect your child's ability to play in another centre should you consider
moving centres to avoid the sanctions.
We have approx. 1600 children playing hockey in the
CMHA. The rules noted above ensure fairness of opportunity to all players and
not a select few.
Should you have any concerns regarding these rules
please send them in writing to the CMHA hockey office and we will respond.
