Procedure for Making Game Changes
As your team's coach or manager you will want to make changes to your game schedule, either because you need to clear a day or two for an away tournament, or because the other team has asked for the game change. Either way, it is very important to follow the correct procedure with both your league and association. The Ice Scheduler and the Referee in Chief must be notified of the change to avoid having your team face fines to recover wasted ice or referee salaries. There are step-by-step instructons here to help you do things properly. Please read them even if you are an experienced coach or manager. Some procedures have changed or you may have forgotten a step or two from years past.
RESPECT IN SPORT
If you will be a coach, assistant coach, trainer or manager then you must complete the Respect in Sport - Leader program, which is available
here.
