EVENT REGISTRATION

• Only registered players may participate in our hockey games or practice sessions

• Regular players are automatically registered for each event of the series

• Remaining spots are open to non-regular players on first come, first serve basis

• Any player who was found holding a spot while not attending an event will be fined

• Top level players may register and participate in full events

ABOUT LEVELS

Each club member is assigned a skill level according to his hockey skills and skating abilities. All club events are also restricted by levels. A player can only sign up for either unrestricted events or those events that are at or below the player’s skill levels.


The levels are:


• Superstar

• Advanced

• Intermediate

• Novice

• Beginner

• LTS (Learn To Skate)


The primary purpose of the skill level restrictions is to make our hockey games more balanced and interesting for both players and goalies, and to make the practice sessions more efficient.


If you feel that the level assigned to you is not the correct reflection of your skills and abilities, please let us know.

GAME RULES

• All players must wear full hockey equipment

• All players must wear club jerseys

• Offside rule is enforced

• No icing calls

• Slap shots are allowed as long as you have a clear view of the goal

• Body contact is allowed but no intentional hits or checks

• Shifts must be kept short between 1-2 minutes

WAITING LISTS

Players have the option of getting on waiting lists for full events. Event waiting lists are fully automated which means that players on waiting list will be signed up automatically by the system if a spot becomes available. In that case, SMS notification (text message) will be sent to the player's cell phone to confirm his spot. Please make sure that your cell phone numbers are up-to-date in My Profile. When you get on waiting list for a full event, you are entered into priority sequence based on 1) your level and 2) the time of entry.

REFUND POLICY

Our refund policy only applies to regular games during winter season excluding practice sessions. Single missed nights are not refunded or credited.


Refunds or credits can be calculated according to the following formula:


R = (M - 1) x N


where 1 >= M <= 3 is the number of consecutive missed games and N is the number of the eligible M sets.

PLAYER CONDUCT

Follow these simple rules and you will fit in right away. You will be invited back, the puck will be passed to you and you'll be invited out for a post-game beer. Follow these rules and you will be accepted as one of the gang, even if you are a Leaf fan!

Pass The Puck

You might be the best player on the ice. You might be able to stick-handle through the other team at will and score, but nobody likes a puck-hog.

Don't Kill The Goalie

During the warm-up, no goalie ever asks to have his head warmed up. There is no need to shoot the puck above the goalie's belly button. If you want to wire a few high hard ones, or test out your new composite stick, do it against the glass. Injuring the goalie during warm-up is a big no-no. During the game, when the goalie puts his glove or pad on the puck stop hacking and poking. Assume the play is dead and skate away.

Don't Kill Anyone Else

If you get the puck at the point, resist the temptation to shoot for the top corner. Ripping a shot past the ears of the guys standing in front of the net won't win you any friends.

Get Off The Ice

Keep shifts short, between 1 - 2 minutes, to allow your teammates to get even ice time. If you are tired, get off ice. If you are resting your stick on your knees and sucking for air, get off the ice. If you've been on the ice for more than 2 minutes, get off the ice. If your line mates head for the bench, get off the ice. When in doubt, get off the ice.

Keep It Clean

Assume the NHL rules apply to you - stop hooking, holding and water-skiing. If you trip somebody, apologize. If somebody trips, hooks or holds you, assume it was an accident.

Air Out Your Equipment

Opening your gear bag should not bring tears to your teammates' eyes. Keep it clean.

Don't Whine About The Teams

We do our best to attempt to create balanced teams from a wildly unbalanced talent pool. If the odd game is a little one-sided just shut-up and play harder. Consider it an opportunity to work on your defensive play.

Give Up Your Dream

You are not going to the show. You will not be discovered by an NHL scout while playing pick-up hockey at 10 pm on a Tuesday night. Play hard but remember that Janet Gretzky is not waiting at home for you and everybody has to go to work the next morning.

Don't Steal The Pucks

If you didn't bring pucks to the game, don't leave with pucks. Return those vulcanized treasures to their rightful owners or our puck keeper.
