Notice To ALL Players
Any type of misconducts received by a player during the playoffs, especially during an elimination game, will be severely punished. The referees have been instructed to call penalties as they see fit to keep games under control.
It has become apparent during the first week of playoffs that there is great disrespect and negative behaviour aimed towards fellow players as well as on-ice officials and score keepers. It has got to the point that the referees and score keepers are reconsidering their participation going forward.
Reminder, this is a men's recreational hockey league that is meant to provide players with a competitive structure while maintaining a love for the game of hockey. The league is not a venue for players to take out their aggressions on others. There are approximately 400 players in this league so it would not seriously affect the operation of the League if we were to purge ourselves of the most frequent and serious behaviour problems.
Enmax Parking Information
Notice to all players, please park in the WEST parking lot at the ENMAX Centre. Please refrain from using the soccer centre parking lot as they will be ticketing vehicles who do not have soccer centre parking permits. Enmax hopes to have the West Players entrance open in the next month.
Player Code of Conduct
Referee abuse WILL NOT be tolerated in this league. Violators will be suspended and repeat offenders will be suspended indefinitely.
Please read the Player Code of Conduct
- Referees are only required to have on-ice discussions with those players designated Captain or Alternate Captain. Any other player attempting to have a discussion with a referee is at risk of being given an Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty.
- Players yelling or swearing at referees from the bench will result in a bench minor penalty. NO REFEREE AT ANY LEVEL OF ORGANIZED HOCKEY HAS EVER CHANGED A CALL BECAUSE OF A PLAYER PROTEST!
- Players yelling or swearing at referees on the ice will be assessed an Unsportsmanlike Conduct Penalty. If the player continues, he will be assessed a 10 min misconduct (followed by a game misconduct, followed by a gross misconduct). Depending on the nature of what is said. The order of these penalties are at the discretion of the referee. A game misconduct assessed under this violation will accompany a minimum 5 game suspension for abuse of an official, for more extreme or repeat situations the board will review and make a decision on the penalty.

Team representatives
Effective Immediately… Prior to the start of each game, please ensure that a team representative notifies the time keeper as to which players are not in attendance. This should be done during the warm-ups. This is necessary in order to ensure the accuracy of game stats as well as for insurance purposes. Thank you for your co-operation.
Insurance Coverage Requirements
***Playoff Eligibility***

Those teams that use ineligible players will automatically forfeit their game.
