- If a rostered player is not participating in the game, they are marked on the GameSheet as 'Away'.
- All player jersey numbers on the GameSheet are correct.
- After the game is completed and the referees have locked the GameSheet, the Team Manager / Head Coach should review the GameSheet for any potential errors. Any GameSheet errors that relate to potential player suspensions should be brought to the attention of [email protected].

ROSTERS

A: Send an email requesting your roster to [email protected].
AFFILIATED PLAYERS
Q: What is an Affiliated Player?
A: An affiliated player is a player who participates with another team of a higher age division or category other than his/her 'rostered' team. For example, a U11 LL player can affiliate with a U11 Representative team, a U13 LL team, a U13 Representative team, etc.
Q: As a coach, how can I affiliate a player to my team?
A: There is an 'Offer of Affiliation' form that needs to be completed in order to affiliate a player to your team. You can obtain this form by requesting one from the OMHA/LL Contact [email protected].
Q: Can a player affiliate with more than one team?
A: No, a player can only affiliate with one team at a time.
Q: Is there a deadline for affiliating players to a team?
A: The deadline for making changes regarding player affiliation is January 15.
Q: Is there a limit for how many players I can affiliate to my team?
A: A team can affiliate up to 19 players.
Q: Can a player play with their affiliated team instead of their rostered team?
A: A player's first commitment is to their rostered team; they cannot skip a game with their rostered team in order to play with their affiliated team.
Q: Why should I affiliate players to my team?
A: Affiliating players is a good idea so as to avoid having to forfeit games due to player absences/illness, especially if your team roster is smaller in size.
GAMES
Q: What is the minimum bench staff for a game?
A: For any regular season, exhibition, or tournament game, each team needs a head coach and trainer on the bench. In the event that your team's trainer cannot make the game, your team can have the other team's trainer sign as your trainer. In this case, the referees need to be made aware, and the other team's trainer should sign the gamesheet as your team's trainer.
Q: What if my team has to travel to an away game and the weather conditions are poor?
A: If the weather conditions make travelling to an away game too dangerous, you can cancel the game. You must cancel the game more than three (3) hours in advance so that referees and timekeepers can be cancelled. In this case, please contact the OMHA/LL Contact and the coach of the opposing team (via phone) as soon as possible.
Q: How can I book an exhibition game for my team?
A: You will need a Travel Permit for any game outside of regular season games - this includes exhibition games. You can use your regularly scheduled practice time to host an exhibition game. Or alternatively, you can look to book extra ice time if available (at an extra cost to your team).
Q: Are there any extra costs associated with exhibition games?
A: If you would like to host an exhibition game in Millbrook (at CMCC or Bewdley), your team will be responsible for covering the cost of referees and timekeepers for the game. Costs for exhibition games are not covered by MDMHA. If the opposing team is hosting the exhibition game, they might request that you split the costs associated with the game.

Q: When are representative team tryouts in Millbrook?
A: Rep team tryouts are held in September, unless notice is provided otherwise.
Q: Can a Millbrook player try out for AA or AAA at another Association?
