Plans are for 12 teams, in two divisions, based upon skill level.  The A Division is for A and advanced  B players, while the B Division is Intermediate players.   Each team will have from 13 to 14 skaters, plus a goalie.

Each team will play approximately 25 games, including regular season and playoffs.  Each team will play generally once per week on either Monday (both divisions), Tuesday (B Division), Wednesday (both divisions) or Thursday (A Division), although it is possible that a team will occasionally play two games in a given week.  Games times are yet to be determined, but are generally around 10:00 pm.   

PLAYERS NEED TO SIGN UP BY SEPTEMBER 13, 2011.   ALL PLAYERS (INCLUDING THOSE WHO PLAYED LAST YEAR) WHO SIGN UP AFTER SEPTEMBER 13 WILL PAY A $30 LATE FEE, AND WILL BE PLACED ON A WAIT LIST WITH NO ASSURANCE OF PLAYING IN THE LEAGUE.   

WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE SCHEDULE IN EARLY SEPTEMBER AND START THE REGULAR SEASON ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.

Hope you all had a great summer.  We are working hard to get the dates and fees together for this winter's league.  I expect that by next weekend I should have enough information to get the online registration active. 

 Just a few notes, for those that like to be prepared:

First, the pre-season pick-up hockey is only going to run 2 weeks this year.  I don't have specific dates yet, but I believe it's going to start right after Labor Day.  This will mean the league should start around 9/20-ish.

Secondly, in the past we have had alot of problems with people waiting til the last minute to sign up and play.  I've been asked to note that we will be charging and enforcing a late fee for those who do not pay by the deadline this year. To this end, we are going to try tracking sign-ups on the web this year so you can see how many spots are left.  Playing in the league or on a specific team in past years will NOT guarantee you a spot if you don't sign up and pay on time.  We encourage everyone to take advantage of the online registration, if you're able to do so.

See you all on the ice in a couple weeks.  In the meantime, I'll be updating the site as I get the information.  Thanks.
