Managers:  It is imperative that you DO NOT delete or change ice times on your team calendar that is scheduled.  Ice times will be automatically pushed out from the Ice Scheduler.

Email Derrick Raymond AND Michael Kautzman all scrimmage requests (both home and away) at draymond21@gmail.com and mkautzman7@gmail.com

If you want to add information to your team calendar, (i.e. tournaments, scrimmages, game day volunteers, etc.), add a new separate event from the ice time.

If you delete the ice time (especially shared ice with another team), it will also remove it from that team's calendar.

At the direction of the ACYHA board, as team manager(s), we ask that you solicit emergency contact information from the parents/guardians, complete the Team Emergency Contact Information template attached below, and distribute laminated or protected copies as follows:

·         1 copy in team puck bag and/or first aid kit
·         1 copy to each coach
·         1 copy in manager book

It is critical you solicit this contact information directly from the parents/guardians at this time for this purpose; do not rely on registration information.  You may pre-populate the form with info you have and ask them to confirm.

The purpose of this exercise is to have this contact information in several locations that are quickly accessible to the coaching staff in the event of an injury/emergency.

Deadline:  Information should be distributed no later than two weeks after teams are formed.
