1 TEAM MANAGER S HANDBOOK SEASON Page 1 of 23

2 Dear Manager: We would like to both welcome you and thank you for being a team manager this season. We know it is a lot of work and very often a thankless position for you to take on. The Team Manager is a central figure in creating the flow of communication not only within the team (players, parents and coaches), but between the team and all support systems such as your club, League Managers, other teams, referees and officials. By taking on the operational aspects of the team, the manager enables the coach to focus on player development and on-ice instruction to provide the players with rewarding hockey experiences. Every team will organize themselves slightly differently to best function in their surroundings, however, there are still many tasks that all Team Managers will need to complete regardless of what team they work with. A wonderful resource of information for the Team Manager can be found at: With this handbook that includes both DVHL and USA Hockey information, we hope to make your life somewhat easier by giving you as much information that we can think of. Some of us put our heads together to come up with this for you. If you think of anything that we may have missed, please do not hesitate to let us know. Our plans are to update this every season to help not only yourself, but also all future managers. Good luck this season and thank you again for all that you do for youth hockey!

8 DVHL Game Schedule: The DVHL Game schedule is now complete and showing on our website. Only the club s master scheduler has the authority to initiate a change in league schedule. No manager, coach, or parent has the authority to change a league game or to initiate a change with the other team. DVHL bylaws on game changes are listed below for you to review: What if I want to reschedule or postpone a league game? SECTION SCHEDULING A. In order to eliminate ice time inequities in the League, each team will play each other an equal number of times (i.e. 1 home and home, 2 home and home, etc.). B. The number of League games to be played in each division and section will be determined from year to year by the Board of Directors at the August meeting. C. After the master schedule has been established, schedule changes shall only be permitted upon the agreement of BOTH teams involved in a particular game. D. Game changes must be sent to the Master Scheduler via or fax, with confirmation by both teams, not less than three (3) days prior to the affected game, by the team requesting the change. E. No games shall be rescheduled on a date later than the last allowable date for completion of league competition. F. Any team that requests a game be re-scheduled after September 15th shall pay a fine of $ for each game re-scheduled, unless waived by the Executive Committee. G. Any league games played between two teams from the same club within the same division must be played on or before December 31st of that current league year. H. When a team drops from the league after scheduling has begun and games have been played, all records of the team dropping are eliminated from the standings. I. No club may drop a team from the league after October 15 of the current league season. J. No league games maybe changed after November 1 without the permission of the league president or their designee K. DVHL league games take precedence over any tournaments, All-star games or leagues that member teams may choose to participate in L. No DVHL league game can be used to satisfy the schedule of another league. If a team is found in violation of this and using the DVHL league game for multi purposes, that game will be a forfeit to both teams, both teams will forfeit their league championship and post season eligibility, and the club will be placed on probation for one year. M. The format for scheduling can only be voted on by club presidents or the Board of Directors SECTION 3 -- POSTPONEMENT OF GAME A. In the event of extraordinary circumstances such as automobile accidents, hazardous road conditions, loss of ice surface due to rink equipment, etc. a game may be postponed. (Sickness, such as flu, is not an extraordinary circumstance.) B. To postpone a game, a team must follow this procedure: 1. Phone call to the other team's official DVHL-listed League Scheduler explaining the extraordinary circumstances. 2. If unable to reach the scheduler, to any other person listed for the opposing team's Club, e.g. the President or other representative to DVHL listed on the DVHL phone and address list. 3. If unable to reach any of the above-listed people, to any Executive Board Member of the DVHL Executive Committee. Page 8 of 23

9 4. If this procedure is not followed, the offending Club will be responsible for payment to the non-offending Club regardless of circumstances. C. If a team postpones a game, it will still be responsible for ice and game forfeiture. 1. The Presidents of the involved Clubs (or their appointed representative) will then be responsible to agree to reschedule or ask for payment for each game postponed in this manner. 2. All disputes will be referred to the League Commissioner. 3. If both parties still do not agree, the matter will be referred to the February meeting of the DVHL Board of Directors. 4. Visiting teams must confirm game times within seventy-two (72) hours in advance of a regularly scheduled game. D. Any game not played as a result of extraordinary circumstances shall be rescheduled within one (1) week of its original scheduled date., E. All canceled games shall be replayed prior to February 15 of the current season. F. All procedures concerning forfeits and rescheduling as contained in these by-laws and/or the League Constitution shall be rigidly adhered to by all members. G. NOTE: By-law reads that game must be rescheduled, not replayed within one (1) week. H. When a team fails to appear for a game (or appears with fewer than the required number of players as described in Article III, Section 3, Paragraph 1), where the time and place appear in the official DVHL schedule, where the two teams did not agree in advance to reschedule the game and notify the league scheduler or Commissioner accordingly, and where there are not extraordinary circumstances (see above), the game will automatically be a forfeit win for the non-offending team. 1. If the non-offending team prefers to play the game, it will be rescheduled at the convenience of the non-offending team, and at the expense (ice cost and referees) of the offending team. 2. The amount specified by the non-offending team (if it is the home team) must be received at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the rescheduled time. 3. If not, the game will remain a forfeit, and the non-offending team is no longer responsible to play the game. I. A team which does not have a minimum of six (6) players on its bench by ten (10) minutes after the scheduled game time shall forfeit the game. J. If games are not played as per schedule before expiration of League play, a forfeit victory will be awarded to the non-offending team as determined by the Commissioner. K. Games awarded to a team by way of forfeit may be appealed by the penalized team to the Executive Committee. No fee is required. The Executive Committee will address the matter within seven (7) days and their decision will be final. L. All forfeits will be reviewed by the Executive Committee to determine the validity of the forfeit. Forfeits of a league game without league permission will result in a $ fine to the offending club. 1. If a forfeit is found to be invalid, disciplinary measures may be imposed. What do we do in the event of bad weather? Due to the many problems which have occurred over the past few years concerning the cancellation and rescheduling of games by individual teams or clubs as a result of hazardous weather or road conditions, the league has established a program which will be put into effect when these conditions exist. Please review the following program. Since the DVHL covers a large geographical area, the league has been divided into four sectors: north, south, east, and west. Your club has been placed in a sector according to your location. Page 9 of 23

10 THIS PROGRAM INVOLVES THE CLUB SCHEDULERS ONLY. Each sector will be represented by a club scheduler from the designated area: Sector Representative. Your representative will service as a liaison between your sector and the league scheduler. When there is potential for hazardous weather or road conditions that will affect the DVHL schedule, this program will go into effect: WEDNESDAY Keep watch on your local weather forecast, plan to be available for the next few days; if you cannot be available during that time, notify your club president and sector representative. THIS WILL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. THURSDAY SECTOR REPRESENTATIVES ARE TO CONTACT THE LEAGUE SCHEDULER OR THE PRESIDENT. Inform them as to the present and extended weather outlook for your region. The Executive Committee will be notified of your report, and at this time a decision will be made on any games that are scheduled for FRIDAY only the league scheduler or the sector representative will notify the club scheduler of the affected organization ALL DECISION WILL BE MADE BY THE EXECUTIVE BOARD. FRIDAY SECTOR REPRESENTATIVES ARE TO CONTACT THEIR CLUB SCHEDULERS. Discuss the present weather forecast/road conditions in your area. Contact the league scheduler or the President with an updated weather and road condition report. The board will then make a decision concerning the games on Saturday and possibly Sunday. Decisions will be made based on the reports of weather and road conditions, travel and game times. ALL DECISIONS WILL BE MADE BY THE EXECUTIVE BOARD NO CLUB, SCHEDULER, OR TEAM MANAGER IS TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE ANY GAME. As soon as a decision is made, the club scheduler will be contacted by either their sector representative or the league scheduler. The club schedulers will then notify their president and coaches. THE LEAGUE SCHEDULER WILL ARRANGE RESCHEDULING AT A LATER DATE. SATURDAY If this plan is still in effect for games being played on Sunday, FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE AS FOR FRIDAY. REMEMBER THAT COMMUNICATION IS A KEY FACTOR OF THIS PROGRAM. FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED ABOVE. Please inform your organizations, coaches, or managers that the DVHL does have a system for dealing with inclement weather/road conditions. Remind them that ALL cancellations and rescheduling will be taken care of by the Executive Board, league scheduler and club scheduler. Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. We will also update the website of any news regarding hazardous weather. Page 10 of 23

11 INFORMATION ON KEEPING SCORE, SCORESHEETS AND DVHL WEBSITE SCORING UPDATES! As you already know, the DVHL uses the Pointstreak Program. This program allows us to have our rosters, games schedule, scoring and standings all in one. All schedules are now complete and inputted into our Pointstreak terminals. You as the team manager should know how to use your rink s terminals as well as be prepared to help your volunteer parents to help you with the task of keeping score at your home games. On our website are the instructions that we have received from Pointstreak for you to print off and circulate throughout your volunteers on how to work your terminal(s). As a team manager, you are ultimately responsible for the scoresheet. You will need to have someone in the scorekeeper s box and not necessarily you all of the time! The scoresheet will need to be properly filled in and sent into the league within 24 hours after the completion of the game. How do I send in the completed scoresheet? First you need to check with your club. Everyone does it differently. Some have one person take responsibility. Some have team managers do it for their own team. Whatever way your club does it - the easiest way take a picture of the scoresheet with your cell phone! Please send us the picture, in pdf format, by to DVHLScoresheets@hotmail.com or by fax to When sending by , please put onto the subject line the name of your team and what the game number that the scoresheet is for. All scoresheets must be complete in order for it to be accepted! They must include the game # on the scoresheet so that it can be logged in. Game # s can be found on the website schedule for each game. Of course the team names, date of game, location, etc. must also be filled in. Do not leave anything blank and you should be good to go! Who needs to sign the score sheet? SECTION 4 SCORESHEET HANDBOOK AND PLAYER ROSTER A. Player signatures are not required on the scoresheets B. The head coach shall be designated on the scoresheet at the beginning of the game and shall sign the scoresheet as the end of the game to verify the scoresheet unless they have been removed from the game due to a penalty being imposed. If the head coach was removed during the game, an assistant coach must sign the scoresheet. C. The head coach of the team is the head coach that is listed on the DVHL and USA Hockey roster unless serving a suspension and an assistant coach being named acting head coach for that particular game. You will also need to find out from your club who is responsible for updating the DVHL website with all of the scoresheet information. This also must be done within 24 hours of the completion of the game to avoid a fine for not being done. Page 11 of 23

12 Scoresheets are received by your club at the DVHL meeting in September. Please make sure that you get your teams scoresheets from your club representative! When you are asking for volunteers to keep score and the clock, remember these important factors: The scorekeeper and timekeeper are considered off ice officials They should know the rules of the game and also know how to operate the clock They should not be coaching from the scorekeeper s box They should not be cheerleading from the scorekeeper s box If the scorekeeper or timekeeper are not sure of the direction received from the officials, they should ask for clarification immediately! Remember you need to do both a paper scoresheet and the electronic monitor! STANDINGS, PLAYOFFS, METHODS OF DETERMINING A WINNER! How do we determine seedings in standings? SECTION League Championship & PLAYOFF DETERMINATION FOR ALL SEEDINGS A. The League Championship will be awarded to the team accumulating the most points during the regular league season in each division and will be determined as follows: 1. League standings are accumulated by awarding a team two (2) points for a win, one (1) point for a tie and no (0) points for a loss. 2. Should two (2) or more teams be tied for any place seeding, the following criteria shall be used to break that tie: a) The highest number of points gained in the games involving the tied teams (head to head) b) The highest number of games won in League competition. c) If a tie still results, a playoff game (or games) shall be held to determine the winner. B. Note: Under no circumstances are goals or goal differentials used to determine League winners or second place finishers. C. If teams have an unequal number of games played, the following criteria shall be used: 1. The highest percentage of points obtained vs. points available. 2. If tied after # 1 above, a playoff game (or games) shall be held to determine the winner. D. The Executive Committee will give final approval on which teams may participate in DVHL Playoffs, District Tournaments and/or USA Hockey National Tournaments. E. No player may participate in DVHL playoffs, AAHA district tournaments or USA Hockey National Tournaments with a DVHL team unless said player has played in at least one DVHL league game and has been on a DVHL roster since at least December 31 of the season.

Any player that violates this rule will receive a 2-minute minor for unsportsmanlike conduct and the goal will not count. What will happen if I refuse to continue to play a game? According to the Atlantic District Rules and Regulations: G. REFUSAL TO CONTINUE PLAY (1) Leaving Ice During Game. Any team playing in a league, exhibition, or tournament game that leaves the ice during the game, shall forfeit the game by a score 1-0, or by the official score at that time, the team leaving the ice is behind. (a) Suspension of Coach/Manager. The coach and/or manager of the team leaving the ice will be subject to a maximum suspension for a period of one year and a minimum of thirty days. Serving Suspensions and Penalties What does a suspended coach/player have to do? SECTION 5 -- SUSPENDED PLAYERS AND COACHES A. Any player or coach who is suspended cannot sit or stand on or near the bench of his team. He must watch the game from the stands. B. A suspended player or coach is obligated to appear at the next scheduled game(s) (the actual number of games is equal to the suspension). 1. Prior to the game, the suspended player/coach is required to sign the scoresheet in the area allocated for suspended players and coaches. 2. He must also print his name, number and team. 3. If the team has a scheduled game, and a player or coach is supposed to sign, and he does not, the game does not count toward satisfying his suspension. 4. If a player or, coach signs in the game roster section instead of the area allocated for suspended players/coaches, the game does not count toward satisfying his suspension. 5. If a coach has more than one team, he must serve his suspension with the team for which he received the suspension. 6. Signing the scoresheet is required for 'game' suspensions, not 'day' suspensions such as gross misconduct and match penalty. 7. A suspended coach is not permitted to be within 30 feet of the player s bench, penalty box or scorekeepers box during the game or games he/she is serving a suspension. The suspended coach s name and information must be printed on the scoresheet in the area allocated for suspended players and coaches. The coach must sign the scoresheet in the suspended area as proof of serving the suspension. Page 16 of 23

17 8. No electronic communications with the player s bench, penalty box or scorekeepers box during the game or games he/she is serving a suspension can be used. C. All suspensions incurred during a DVHL scheduled League game must be served in a DVHL scheduled league game. 1. This does not relieve a suspended player or coach from serving his suspension in accordance with USA Hockey (i.e. non-league games scheduled prior to the next league game). 2. A player or coach may in fact sit out more games than the original suspension in order to fulfill his obligation. D. Suspended players occupy a position on the game roster, and shall be counted toward the maximum number of players permitted on the bench even though ineligible to participate in the game or be on the team bench. E. If a USA Hockey and/or DVHL penalty resulting in a game suspension is assessed to a player and/or coach, that player and/or coach is suspended until that respective penalty is served. F. A suspended player and/or coach participating in a game while suspended will result in a forfeit. A winning score of 1-0 will be awarded to the non-offending team if a forfeit is assessed. G. Any suspension not served during the current season will carry over into the next season. 1. Carry-over suspensions follow the player/coach, not the team or club. 2. If a player/coach moves up from one age classification to another, the carry-over suspension still must be served. 3. If a player/coach moves to a different Club, the carry-over suspension still must be served. H. Proof of serving a suspension must be submitted to the Commissioner at or before the May Board Meeting or the suspension will carry over to the next season without exception. 1. Signature on the scoresheet in the area allocated for suspended players/coaches or indication of name, number, and team is the only proof that will be accepted for service of a suspension. I. Whenever a player or coach receives a game misconduct or match penalty, the coach or his designee (e.g. team manager) shall file, with the League Commissioner a written report (sent by fax or ) in the form required and shall include a copy of the score sheet from the game in which the penalty was imposed. The report shall be filed within seventy-two (72) hours following the conclusion of the game. J. Any party aggrieved by the decision of the Commissioner regarding the imposition of a suspension may appeal that decision to the Ex. Committee of the DVHL by written request to the Commissioner or the League President. The appeal shall be accompanied by a check for the appropriate filing fee. All appeals shall be heard following regularly scheduled monthly DVHL meetings. The filing of an appeal shall not toll the execution of the suspension unless the Ex. Committee determines that the suspension shall not be executed pending the appeal hearing. At the appeal hearing, the aggrieved may present witnesses and other evidence that it deems appropriate. K. Any party aggrieved by the decision made by the Ex. Committee following an appeal hearing on a suspension or any other matter, may appeal that decision in writing addressed to the DVHL President. Upon receipt of that appeal, the DVHL President shall appoint a three-member panel composed of individuals who are not members of the DVHL Ex. Committee to hear the appeal. L. Any party aggrieved by the decision made by the three-member appeal panel appointed for that purpose by the DVHL President may appeal that decision in writing addressed to the Atlantic District who shall administer that appeal pursuant to the Atlantic District rules.

18 How long does my player sit if they receive a fighting penalty? In accordance with USA Hockey, a player who receives a fight penalty must sit out their next USA Hockey game with the team in which he receives the penalty. If the player s next game is a non-league game, then the player must sit out that penalty to satisfy his USA Hockey suspension and then sit out his DVHL league game as per the quantity listed below based on the level of team. If the player s next game is a DVHL league game, then the player must sit out and will satisfy both his USA Hockey suspension as well as the first game of the quantity listed below based on the level of team. SECTION 6 -- FIGHTING A. Fighting Penalties for Bantam, Midget 16 and Midget If a player incurs a major penalty for fighting, which by USA Hockey rules is accompanied by a game misconduct penalty, the player shall sit out three (3) DVHL games for the first infraction, five (5) games for the second infraction, and shall be suspended for the balance of the season for the third infraction. B. Fighting Penalties for Peewee 1. If a player incurs a major penalty for fighting, which by USA Hockey rules is accompanied by a game misconduct penalty, the player shall sit out two (2) DVHL games for the first infraction, four (4) games for the second infraction, and shall be suspended for the balance of the season for the third infraction. C. Fighting Penalties for Mite & Squirt 1. If a player incurs a major penalty for fighting, which by USA Hockey rules is accompanied by a game misconduct penalty, the player shall sit out one (1) DVHL games for the first infraction, two (2) games for the second infraction, and shall be suspended for the balance of the season for the third infraction. What if my player receives a match penalty either on his DVHL team or High School team? Regardless of what team a player receives a match penalty with, the player is automatically suspended from all USA Hockey activities, both games (league and non-league) and practices. This means the player cannot play club or high school until a ruling is made. The Commissioner has 30 days to hold a hearing and 5 days after that to announce his ruling on the suspension received by the player for receiving a match penalty. DVHL Rule SECTION 7 -- MATCH PENALTY D. For a match penalty, or for physical abuse to a referee, the USA Hockey rules regarding hearings, etc. shall be disposed by the League Commissioner. In no case will a player cited for these infractions be allowed to participate in any game or practice until the Commissioner has ruled or thirty (30) days have elapsed. The League Commissioner shall follow the procedure(s) outlined by USA Hockey and the Atlantic Affiliate with regard to his requirements of investigating and ruling on a match penalty. USA Hockey Playing Rules - Rule 405 Match Penalties (a) A MATCH penalty involves the immediate removal of a player or Team Official for the balance of the game and a five-minute time penalty shall be assessed. (Note) For all MATCH penalties, regardless of when imposed, or prescribed additional penalties, a total of 10 minutes shall be charged in the records against the offending player or Team Official. (For all Youth, High School and Girls Age Classifications) Unless immediate substitution is permitted under the coincidental major penalty Rule 403(c), the penalized team shall immediately place a substitute player on the penalty bench and such player shall not be changed. Page 18 of 23

19 (For Adult Classifications) Unless immediate substitution is permitted under the coincidental major penalty Rule 403(c), the penalized team shall place a substitute player on the penalty bench before the penalty expires. No other replacement for the penalized player shall be permitted to enter the game except from the penalty bench upon expiration of the penalty. For violation of this rule a bench minor penalty for illegal substitution shall be imposed. (b) When coincidental match penalties have been imposed or when any combination of coincidental major and match penalties have been assessed to a player or players of both teams, Rule 403(c) covering coincidental major penalties will be applicable with respect to player substitutions. (c) A player or Team Official incurring a match penalty shall be suspended from participating in any USA Hockey games and practices until his case has been dealt with by the proper authorities. A hearing by the proper authorities shall be offered to be held (including any further disciplinary action) within 30 days of the incident ( 30-day period ) together with a decision in accordance with Bylaw 10D (Suspension Hearings/Domestic Competition Playing Rules). If extenuating circumstances prevent the proper authorities from conducting the hearing within the 30-day period, the player or Team Official shall be automatically reinstated after the 30-day period. The failure to offer the hearing shall not prohibit the hearing body from conducting the hearing after the 30-day period and imposing further disciplinary action. (Note) The Referee is required to report all match penalties and the surrounding circumstances to the proper authorities immediately following the game in which they occur. (d) If any Team Official is assessed a match penalty, he may not sit near the players bench of his team, nor in any way attempt to direct the play of his team. (e) Original jurisdiction in any hearing resulting from a match penalty assessed under Rule 601(f.1) (Physical Assault of Officials) shall reside with the Affiliate (Ron Goodman). What form do I fill out if my player/myself receive a game misconduct or match? Please go to the DVHL website and go to the forms section on the left. The Commissioner s form is there for you to fill out and submit. DVHL Rosters and Player Movement How can I add a player to my roster or move players? SECTION 3 -- PLAYER MOVEMENT A. Until December 31, each team will be allowed six (6) moves within an age division and/or between age divisions (goalies exempt). This does not include assignment of a player to an in-house program which must occur at the time of player evaluations per section 3 of the Constitution. B. Unless approved by the appropriate Vice President (or to any member of the Executive Committee if the appropriate Vice President is unavailable), players will not be permitted to move down and play in a lower division unless that move is a permanent one. Such player will not be eligible to be considered for any further movement for the remainder of the season. All player movement must be to a higher division or level, i.e. B to A, A to AA. C. A move in any direction is considered one (1) move. D. Notification of these moves must be made (by telephone) to the appropriate Vice President (or to any member of the Executive Committee if the appropriate Vice President is unavailable) PRIOR to the player's participating in a DVHL game. E. The completed "Player Movement Confirmation Form" prescribed by the Commissioner must be ed, faxed or mailed within five (5) days of the "moved" player's effective date for participation in League play (at the new level). This form will then be marked received by the appropriate Vice-President, dated and faxed back to the originator. A return confirming the move and/or the addition of the player by the appropriate VP to the DVHL web based roster is acceptable confirmation as well. Page 19 of 23

20 F. Failure to follow the above procedures may cause the player to be declared ineligible, and the game to be forfeited. G. The "Player Movement Confirmation Form" is also required to follow up on roster additions and deletions. H. Goalies may be moved from one team to another team (at division or level within a division) on an exception basis. 1. This move must be approved by the appropriate Vice President, or member of the Executive Committee, in the absence of the Vice President. I. NOTE: A player movement from one level to the next, e.g. mite to squirt, constitutes two (2) movements, one (1) being charged to each team. J. Once a player is deleted from your roster, that player cannot be added back to your roster except as described in section 3A. Any exception to this rule must be presented to the Executive Committee for final approval. K. Player additions and player movements to a team that had been granted their petition during the petitioning process must have the approval of the appropriate vice president of the level in question. What if I have a Tier I or Junior player who wants to play on my team? SECTION 5--TIER 1 AND JUNIOR PLAYERS A. Any player or players having been registered or having participated in a league game on a Tier 1 or Junior level team during the current season may not participate on a DVHL team unless that player is deleted from the Tier 1 or Junior team roster for the current season. (Tier 1 or Junior means Atlantic League or equivalent or any Junior team whether independent or tournament bound) 1. Such a move must be approved by the Executive Committee. 2. Once having been rostered on a DVHL team, the movement of that player or players back to a Tier 1 or junior team shall be cause for protest and possible forfeit of any DVHL games in which such player(s) participated. 3. Tier 1 includes both Major and Minor players. Miscellaneous Information Does the DVHL have a tampering policy? SECTION 7--TAMPERING A. Tampering is defined as recruiting of a rostered and/or registered player without the prior written approval from the organization of the rostered and/or registered player. B. No coach, manager or club official connected with a registered team may entice, influence or otherwise tamper with a player rostered with another registered team without the prior written approval of a club president or his designee. The DVHL president must be advised in writing by the club president of any designee. C. A release will not be effective until it has been received in writing and signed by the current officer of the association who is not a parent of the player or a member of the team involved. D. After investigating the matter to the fullest extent, the Executive Committee may invoke the following penalties: 1. To the player; a rostered, protected player who takes the ice with another team without prior written approval may not play for that organization for at least the remainder of the current season, regardless of obtaining a subsequent release. 2. To all others; any individual or organization that violates the above rules is also subject to fine, probation or suspension, or may not be eligible to participate in DVHL playoffs or District Tournament. What if I want to protest a league game? SECTION 9 -- PROTESTS A. Protests will be recorded on the front of the original copy of the official scoresheet in the remarks area, and signed by the protesting coach. The reason for the protest must be written on the scoresheet. 1.

22 Compliance Safe Sport, Locker Rooms, Penalty Boxes, Injuries and Insurance SafeSport Training: All organization members that have access to the player MUST be SafeSport trained. This includes coaches, managers, organization management, penalty box volunteers, etc. SafeSport training is an on-line seminar that takes about 90 minutes to complete and the completion certification is valid for two years. All coaches and managers that do not have a valid SafeSport certification, CANNOT be added to a roster and CANNOT participate with the team in any way. All those not rostered are not covered by USA Hockey insurance and they also invalidate the coverage for all others with whom they share the ice. SafeSport training can be accessed at Locker Room Monitoring Policy: You as the Team Manager, need to be aware of the locker room policy! USA Hockey is concerned with locker room activities between minor players, locker room activities between minor players and adult players, adults being alone with individual minor players in locker rooms, and non-official or non-related adults having unsupervised access to minor participants at sanctioned team events. It is the policy of USA Hockey and USA Hockey InLine that all affiliates, districts, leagues and local hockey programs have at least one responsible adult directly monitoring the locker room during all team events to ensure that only participants (coaches and players), approved team personnel and family members are permitted in the locker room and to supervise the conduct in the locker room. Any individual meetings between a minor participant and a coach in a locker room shall require a responsible adult be with the coach. Further, responsible adults must personally monitor the locker room environment at all times while participants are present and also make sure the locker room is appropriately secured during times when minor participants are on the ice. Page 22 of 23

23 All responsible adults serving as locker room monitors should be gender correct and the co-ed locker room policy must be followed as described in the current USA Hockey Annual Guide. Monitors must be screened and meet all USA Hockey screening standards. Penalty Box Supervision: All penalty boxes need adult supervision if the player cannot enter or exit the penalty box safely on their own. If the penalty box is immediately adjacent to the player bench, it must be supervised by a credentialed coach. Major Injuries: If a major injury occurs, please notify your Club President who shall in turn contact the league to let them know of the injury. USA Hockey Insurance provides secondary insurance coverage. Additional information can be found at USA HOCKEY COACHING REQUIRMENTS While the ultimate responsibility for the coaches USA Hockey requirements does not lay with the team manager, you will be one of the people that your team will ask the question to if your coach is thrown off of the bench for lack of compliance. You need to familiarize yourself with all of your coach s accreditations. You will see on your USA Hockey roster if they are compliant or not. Deadlines must be met to remain on the bench. Please go to and go to the coach s section. All coaching accreditation, modules, SafeSport, Screening info is listed there for you to review and to stay on top of your team staff. You don t want to be faced with the question from your team when they lose a coach - Didn t you know???? Page 23 of 23
