SHARED ICE #
City league teams of all ages will receive shared practice times, especially in the younger age divisions. This is advised in Long Term Player Development to give players the appropriate number of practice times in a week. Efforts should be made to work cooperatively to best utilize the ice time, and in some divisions a protocol is established for sharing ice. Teams should not use shared practice times for inter-squad scrimmages.
*Note that Setting up half-ice boards is not necessary for U9 practices.
INCLEMENT WEATHER #
MHMHA will not charge fines if a team is unable to make their assigned ice time due to inclement weather. MHMHA utilizes AMA road reports and if they feel necessary, will send a bulletin if the no-show policy is lifted. This notice will be communicated to teams as quickly as possible. If weather turns suddenly, the safety of the families in our community is first priority so please do not require your players to be on the road if conditions are truly unsafe.
ICE INTERRUPTION PROCEDURE #
Issues that do not directly and immediately affect safety can be managed in the following manner:
- Facility staff first ensure safety for participants and themselves.
- Facility staff contact the MHMHA Ice Allocator and explain the situation as quickly, reasonably, and safely as possible.
- MHMHA Ice Allocator, in consultation with facility staff, will determine the plan of action with regards to delayed or cancelled ice slots and communicate to directors and teams affected.
- Facilities shared between multiple user groups, issues occurring on one rink or for one group do not automatically affect the other rink, and MHMHA Ice Allocator will determine game movement, if necessary, for MHMHA bookings.
