GAMES

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.
