HPL Brick Series Super Novice League 2018-09-10 - BC Hockey Memo

Langley Minor Hockey has moved to the ePACT Safety Network.  This system replaces medical forms, codes of conducts for parents and players and the jersey deposit waiver (you will still be required to collect the deposit cheques).

Once teams are formed, LMHA will hand over access to your team files.  There is an ePACT Admin app that you, as the manager and coach, will want to download so that you have access to the information at all times.  You will want to also provide your HCSP with access as well.

For more information on ePACT.

*Are you using a Private Instructor with your team?  Please read!

As team fundraising is getting underway LMHA wanted to remind each team of what gaming regulations teams must follow when participating in fundraising activities.   LMHA has received a gaming grant of $100,000 annually for many years.  Teams that do not follow the proper gaming procedures are putting that grant in jeopardy.

Individual Sports Teams are eligible to apply for a Class D license which allows you to raise a maximum of $5,000 in gross revenue.    There is a maximum of $500 value for each prize and alcohol CANNOT be a prize.  Full Details are available here.  Please read the information carefully before proceedig with your fundraising activity.

BC Gaming has also provided us with the attached document that is specific to Sports Teams.

It is important for teams to remember that it is the TEAM not LMHA that is doing the fundraising.  You must provide team information when obtaining your license and promoting your fundraiser.  Please do not promote events as being on behalf of LMHA.

If you have any questions, please email info@langleyminorhockey.ca.

Class B-D instructions for Sports Teams

GAME SHEETS.

Game sheets are available at:

• Twin Rinks in the locker on Rink 1
• Sportsplex in the LMHA locker at the back of Rink 1
• GPRC in the black file cabinet in the hall just before the LMHA office

If you haven't received the combination, check with your Division Manager.

RESOLVING GAME CONFLICTS.

When you receive your PCAHA game schedule, you will have to resolve any game conflicts within 48 hours, as follows:

1. Email the LMHA Ice Allocator with the Game # date/time that is in conflict.
2. Once you receive your alternate ice from the Ice Allocator, contact the opposing team Manager to confirm their availability.
3. Once the opposing team confirms, email the Ice Allocator to confirm that the conflict is resolved with the new ice.  He will take back the conflicted ice slot.
4. Contact your PCAHA League Manager to update the resolved game details, including the opposing team on that email so that everyone is confirmed.
5. Email the LMHA Referee Assigner to re-assign referees (Bantam C and down).  Bantam A and above will be requested by the League Manager at the time of the game update.

The ice allocated to all teams is the property of the Langley Minor Hockey Association (“LMHA”) and the teams have the privilege of using the ice assigned/allocated to them.  LMHA expects all ice assigned/allocated to be used.  LMHA DOES NOT want ice sitting empty at any time.  The average cost of a sheet of ice without subsidy is about $350.00 per hour.  Teams are permitted to sell or trade their assigned/allocated ice up until 48 hours prior to the ice time in question.   If the ice remains unsold or has not been traded at that time, then the team must decide to either use the ice or return it to the LMHA Ice Allocator. The Ice Allocator will then send an email notification to all registered teams that the ice is available at no charge.  This is to ensure the ice does not go unused.  No team is permitted to sell, trade or in any way forfeit LMHA ice to any team (regular season or Spring) outside of LMHA.  The use of LMHA ice by a non-LMHA team can result in a permanent loss of our ice subsidy. This loss would result in a substantial increase to registration fees to cover the cost of ice in the Association.  If any team is proven to be in the process of selling, or have sold LMHA ice to any non LMHA team or Association the first offence will be a team fine of $1,000.00.  A second offence will result in the responsible team official being suspended at the discretion of the Executive.  Only LMHA rostered coaches/teams can purchase LMHA ice.  The coach(s) must be present and on the ice adhering to all LMHA rules and policies.  All players must be LMHA rostered and in full gear.  Any violation of this may result in disciplinary action.

Buy Sell or Trade Ice Now!

Should you have any questions regarding LMHA jerseys and equipment, please contact our Equipment Manager, Jeff Armstrong.

Please use the new Jersey Deposit Form to collect and submit all post-dated cheques for the jersey deposit.  The form and ALL team cheques will be submitted to your Division Manager.
