IPAD / GAMESHEET
Q: How do I set up a game on the iPad?

A: You can find more information about how GameSheet works here.
Q: What are our team responsibilities regarding filling out GameSheet on the iPad?
A: Your Team Manager and Head Coach are responsible for the following:
- Ensuring all players who are playing in the game are shown on the iPad GameSheet roster.
- 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.
- All bench staff who are present must sign their name. Anyone not on the bench does not need to sign the GameSheet.
- 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].
Q: What if our head coach is away for a game?
A: The Assistant Coach must sign the GameSheet as the 'Head Coach'. Every game must have someone sign the GameSheet as the 'Head Coach'.
Q: What if a goal is attributed to the wrong player? Can the GameSheet be corrected?
A: Once the GameSheet has been uploaded, is not possible to modify it.
Q: What is the log in code for the iPad?

Q: Do we have to use the iPad/GameSheet for half-ice games (U7, U8, U9)?
A: Yes, you have to set up the game on the iPad and ensure that the bench staff signs the iPad. You also need to verify the players who are playing in the game. If someone is not there for the game, mark them as 'Away'. No scores are kept for half-ice games.
Q: What do I need to do after the game is over?
A: Make sure the game is locked and uploaded before you leave the arena. Ensure the iPad is locked inside the locker.
ROSTERS
Q: What is an Official Team Roster?
A: The Official Team Roster lists all of the players who are eligible to participate in regular season, exhibition, or jamboree/tournament games. If your team enters a Jamboree or Tournament, the tournament organizers will request a copy of your Official Team Roster.
Q: How can I obtain my Official Team Roster?
A: Send an email requesting your roster to [email protected].
TRAVEL PERMITS
Q: When do I need to get a travel permit?
A: You need a travel permit to play any game other than regular season or playoff games. Therefore, if you want to play in a jamboree/tournament or exhibition game, you must apply for a travel permit.
Q: Do I need a travel permit for our 'home' tournament (Millbrook).
A: Yes.
Q: When should I apply for a travel permit?

AFFILIATED PLAYERS

Q: As a coach, how can I affiliate a player to my 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.
