Welcome to the 2010-11 Season (click here for full info)
Welcome back to the IAHA. We're finally ready to go. If you don’t read the entire letter, read this:
---Registrations are due in our hands by Saturday, October 2. Drop at Cass or The Rink or mail it. If you mail it, allow time for it to be delivered before Oct 2nd.
---Players are assigned first-come, first served. If rosters fill up, you may get shut out even if your application was received before the deadline.
---A/B teams will be based on last year’s rosters. B/C teams will be split up much like last year. Captains will designate a core. All goalies will be assigned by the Board.
---If you want to play with someone, get together and submit your forms together in one envelope. If we do not receive them together, we will ignore the request. Two player pairs only.
---Current plans are for the season to begin the week of October 17th. The fees this year are $420 (goaltenders $210). You must register separately with USA Hockey.
---Please help us find sponsors. Contact Jon Parmenter @ jwp35@cornell.edu if you know someone interested in sponsoring.
Okay, here is the longer version. We are highlighting a few important points in this letter. Please read the registration forms carefully for complete details.
Registration
Registration forms must be received no later than Saturday, October 2nd. Note this is a due date, not a postmark date. Be sure to return the Registration form, the USA Hockey registration confirmation and your payment. Copies of the forms can be downloaded here and will be available at Cass and The Rink. Pairs of two (2) players wishing to play together can indicate this on their registration form and MUST submit their forms together. By doing this, you can expect to be placed on the same team.USA Hockey
You must register directly with USA Hockey at www.usahockeyregistration.com. The cost is $33 and must be paid with a credit card. When finished, print the USA Hockey registration confirmation and attach it to your IAHA registration form. Do not e-mail the confirmation to us.Captains
Captains, please inform us if you do not wish to be a captain this season. If anyone else is willing to be a captain, please let us know. TeamsFor the A/B Division, initial team assignments will be based on last season's rosters. Some players may be moved between teams, especially if the number of teams in the division changes from last season. New players who do not have a strong affiliation to an existing team will be assigned to roster openings to attempt to correct the competitive balance of the teams. As always, the final team assignments remain the decision of the IAHA Board, and no promises can be made.
For the B/C Division, we will be shaking up the rosters again this season. Each captain will be allowed to submit a roster of five skaters (including the captain). All other players and the goalies will be assigned to teams in a randomized fashion. We believe it is in the best interest of the league, over the long term, to avoid having the same rosters year after year. This makes it simpler to balance teams and reduces the barriers for new players to enter the league.
Subs
There is a flat fee of $75 to register as a sub. There will be no additional per game fees.Captains must obtain approval from the Board prior to registering a sub. After approval is received, the sub must submit an IAHA registration form, a USA Hockey registration confirmation, and payment of the $75. Approval and all material must be in place before a sub can play. Captains, do not wait until the day of the game to ask for a sub to be approved. Teams are limited to three subs, and subs are not allowed to play in playoff games.
Rule Changes
At this time we have no changes, although we are discussing a few minor points.
Disciplinary Policy
The IAHA Disciplinary Policy is being distributed with registration materials as well as being posted on the Web Site. There are no changes from last season. We continue to discourage fighting and other inappropriate behavior in our adult league. If you are involved in a fight, you should expect to sit a minimum of five games (one game USA Hockey mandatory suspension plus four game IAHA suspension). The message is DON'T FIGHT!! Defending yourself does not require swinging back. Cover up and skate away.
Team/League Sponsorships
Each season we look for local businesses to sponsor teams. The fee for sponsorship this season is $350 minimum and is used to purchase jerseys. Any amount paid above the minimum is very much appreciated and will be used to reduce player fees the following season. Most businesses can treat this cost as an advertising expense. Sponsorships can be split between two businesses if requested. Team sponsorships are awarded on a first-come first-served basis. As the association receives payment, the sponsorship is assigned. The best way to guarantee renewal or award of a sponsorship is for the business to pay the fee. Please help us to secure sponsors by contacting anyone you know who would be in a position to help. For their support, the business name and logo will appear on the team jerseys, and the name will appear in all posting of the league standings and results. We will also include sponsors' logos and Web links on our Web Site, if provided.
Sign up early..see you on the ice.
Regards, IAHA Board
