In the event this happens and an arena is found unsafe, IMHA will take the necessary steps to assist in remedying the situation to ensure a safe arena. BOARD OF DIRECTORS IMHA is operated and directed by a Board of Directors. There are 8 positions on the Board, plus the Past President. Volunteers are elected to the Board at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and agree to serve a two year term on a fixed rotation, so that no more than three positions come due in any given year. The requirements, duties and classification of the respective Board members are outlined in the IMHA By Laws.

The manager must ensure that the parents of the team are always well informed of what is happening from the Board and from the Coach. This position acts as a liaison between parent and coach and concerns are relayed to the Board of Directors.

FINANCES Team Finances Each team has a sponsor who has paid Minor Hockey a sponsorship fee for the purpose of purchasing and screening jerseys. It is not expected, nor preferred, that the sponsors be contacted for additional dollar contributions. Each team is required to raise their own funds for out of town tournament entry fees, any extra ice required by the team over and above IMHA ice provided, and any extras the team would like for the players such as hats, jackets, track suits, etc. These finances are to be kept by the team for the team by the team appointed treasurer, and are not at all related to the business of the IMHA. The team appointed treasurer must keep all documentation of funds raised and expenses incurred to remit to the Board Treasurer within 15 days of fundraising, unless otherwise negotiated, for the purpose of financial integrity. Fundraising Policy IMHA fund raising policy stipulates that careful accounting take place with statements, chequing accounts, dual signing authority and the like being established. Coaching staff within a team is discouraged from taking on fund raising functions as their time is taken up with the team. It is recommended that coaches not be the signing authority for the team. Responsible parents should take this solely based on consensus within the group. Philosophy: All teams have the right to raise funds for their respective team. It is recognized that the funds raised are to be used for the betterment of the team as a whole. When raising funds, members are also representing the IMHA and are encouraged to project a positive image of the IMHA. Fund raising must be by the hockey team concerned, not IMHA. All fundraising activities must be discussed and approved by the majority at a team parent meeting. 9

10 The maximum amount that individual team players may fundraise is 100 % of their team expenses. No one person shall profit from fundraising. All monetary transactions relating to fundraising are to be documented in accordance with basic accounting principles and are subject to audit by the Board Treasurer.

13 Affiliation of Players A team may use affiliated players ONLY if the following rules are complied with: The player is to be used ONLY for the replacement of missing players, up to the teams registered roster. Unless less than 12 players are registered. Before an affiliate player can play or practice for a team, permission must be obtained from the affiliate player's team head coach each and every time the player is needed. If a controversy over a player exists, IMHA would then recognize the facts that no affiliation exists until the matter can be resolved internally. Failure to obtain permission to use the player will result in suspension of the head coach for the minimum of one (1) league game. All team with full rosters of skaters must have a minimum of 2 skaters missing to use affiliation. If permission is granted, the coach must speak to the player's parents and obtain the parents' consent. The coach may then approach the player and inquire whether the player wishes to play the proposed game or the practice time. Regular season games have precedence over any other hockey activity. This means that; if the player has a regular season game with his/her own team and is called up for a game, the player has a responsibility to play for his or her own team (unless his/her coach grants permission for them to play up). Coaches should, at every opportunity, encourage players to play at a higher level, but not at the expense of their own team. Using an Affiliated player for practice purposes is only approved by the General Manager for the sake of risk management. Goalkeeper On occasions where a goalkeeper is required, the goalkeeper can only be used once the IMHA has received written approval from the Zone Chairperson. If the Zone Chairperson has not given approval the goal keeper may not be used. Each game requires a new request for approval, as the Zone Chairperson approval does NOT allow that player to be borrowed at any time for the balance of the season. The coach must complete the Substitute Goal Tender request form. INSURANCE Only players and team coaches and managers listed in the HCR are covered by insurance. When registering with Hockey Alberta, IMHA has the choice of registering on Provincial or Non Provincial Team Sheets. All adults going on the ice/bench must be registered as a team official in the HCR. If not registered with Hockey Alberta, they are not permitted on the ice or on the bench. TRAVEL IMHA players are forbidden to serve as drivers of vehicles to exhibition, sanctioned events and practices outside of Irvine Town limits. 13

14 Players may only travel with their parents/guardian or with others through private arrangements. No carpooling arrangements shall be made by the team or team officials. ICE Allocation Ice is divided and allocated to each division through the IMHA Board of Directors. The Director of Ice and Referee Schedules will then divide the allotted ice further and give it to the individual team Managers. Any team unable to use the ice allotted should speak up to the General Manager immediately. All ice requests or concerns should go through the Director of Ice and Referee Schedules Cancellation The Irvine Arena requires one week notice of cancellation and a minimum of 48 hours in special circumstances. If teams do not give sufficient notice to the Director of Ice and Referee Schedules to cancel an ice time they may be subject to a fine which covers, but does not exceed, the billable time invoiced to IMHA. Booking Within the Irvine Arena IMHA does all the booking of ice on behalf of our teams with the Association and distributes it through the governors, if possible, for the teams. FACILITY DAMAGE Any damage to a recreational facility as reported by the Irvine Arena, including but not limited to, physical damage, substance abuse (i.e. chewing tobacco) will be disciplined in the following manner; First offence: Janitorial/Restitution Fees Second Offence: Janitorial/Restitution Fees as well as a two week player suspension from all hockey activities including practices and games Third Offence: Janitorial/Restitution Fees as well as player suspension from all hockey activities including practices and games for the remainder of the season.

Goalie equipment is available to be used by any players from IMHA and must be signed out and returned with the Director of Equipment. TOURNAMENTS Coordination A tournament committee shall be formed for each team and should contact the Director of Ice and Referee Schedules 6 8 weeks prior to the tournament date. IMHA purchases the contract for tournaments in Irvine. Each tournament committee is to pay ref officials themselves. IMHA will not permit teams to use IMHA ice user rates, nor sanction any tournament or exhibition series, in the Irvine Arena. All officials used in IMHA games for exhibition, league, or tournament must be carded officials, assigned through Irvine Minor Hockey. Rules All participants must follow the A.A.H.A. rules, but each tournament may add extra rules. PLAY OFFS (ALL CATEGORIES) The playoff format for league shall be determined by the board of that division within the last two months of the season. PROVINCIALS Entries IMHA supports the following divisions in their efforts to participate in the provincials; Atom Pee Wee Bantam Midget Hockey Alberta charges an initial $ fee to all teams participating in provincial play downs. IMHA may also charge all teams the cost of ice and referees of prior to each round of play downs. 15

16 Priority Once provincial play downs start the priority is for those games. The team must accept one of the 2 ice times offered regardless of conflicts. This may mean not participating in a tournament or rescheduling a league game. TRIPS/TOURS/EXCHANGES Teams may travel on trips, tours or exchanges. However, teams traveling to play exhibition and tournaments out of their own zone must get a travel permit from IMHA. This travel permit along with the game sheets must be returned to IMHA and then forwarded on to Hockey Alberta. In order to receive a travel permit for a tournament you must provide the tournament sanction number. Tournaments without sanction numbers will not be approved. Bus Use Policy The registered Team Official must travel with the team on the bus at all times. The registered Team Official is responsible for ensuring appropriate bus travel behaviour and player safety to and from events requiring bus travel. IMHA requires that no busses have alcohol in any drinks. Discipline In every organization discipline is a requirement. IMHA has formed a Disciplinary Committee to deal with player, coach and team disciplinary matters Suspensions These are issued following the Hockey Alberta Rules. Over and above these each Association or League has their own rules and can add further suspensions. All suspensions must have a copy of the game sheet attached, and must be submitted to the Spud League Office within 2 working days of the incident. These are then forwarded on to the Disciplinary Committee Chairperson, Coach, Governor and the Referee in Chief. Should an incident arise which requires a hearing before the Disciplinary Committee those involved in the incident should consider them suspended pending hearing results. Appeals All Spud League appeals must contain a clear and concise written summary of the grounds for the appeal with particular reference to the rules that relate to the appeal. A first written appeal to the Discipline Committee must be made in writing to the Discipline Committee Chairperson within 48 hours of the decision to be appealed. All notices of appeal must be accompanied by $ There are no refunds on appeals that are denied. A further Appeal can be made to Hockey Alberta pursuant to the Bylaws and Regulations of the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association. 16

17 Grievances Any player, parent, or coach with a grievance is urged to bring the matter in writing to the attention of the team Manager. Disputes, if unresolved at that level, will be referred by the Manager to the General Manager. If no settlement is reached, the final decision will be made by the IMHA executive. WEBSITE USE IMHA offers opportunities for the website advertising to businesses that are family, youth and sport related. Cost of advertising shall be equal or greater than team Sponsor Values. SUMMER HOCKEY IMHA follows Hockey Alberta's position on this matter in that they do not support any organized ice hockey programs/leagues during the summer months. The rationale is the same as that of Hockey Alberta's (Section M of the Rule Book) 17
