SO THIS IS HOW  THE SEASONS WILL BE RUN , JUST TO GIVE TEAMS ALREADY IN THE LEAGUE A HEADS UP. THE SPRING LEAGUE AND FALL LEAGUE WILL BE THE SAME FOR GAMES, BUT THE WINTER LEAGUE WILL BE BUMPED UP  FEW GAMES, THIS WILL MEAN A LITTLE INCREASE IN FEES , THAT IS ONLY FOR THE WINTER SEASON.

BUT RIGHT NOW I HAVE OPENED THE REGISTRATION UP EARLY FOR THE FALL LEAGUE AND WINTER LEAGUE , BOTH ARE $ 800 DEPOSITS,IAM TAKING 12 TEAMS IN EACH OF THE SEASONS , FOR NOW, I GOT PUSHED TO KEEP IT AT 12 FOR THE SPRING LEAGUE , BUT THERE WILL BE TWO DIVISIONS OF SIX ,GUYS WANTED MORE VARIETY OF PLAYING OTHER TEAMS.REMEMBER YOU GET A MINIMUM OF 9 GAMES AND HOW YOU DO FROM THERE IS UP TO YOU. WE ADDED TWO ALL STAR GAMES, BECAUSE A LOT OF GUYS DONT THINK IT IS FAIR,SO NOW IT IS. BY ADDING THAT GAME , YOU ELIMINATE ONE IN THE ROUND ROBIN, BUT IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER BECAUSE YOU GET THE SAME NUMBER OF MINIMUM GAMES.MAX NUMBERS OF GAMES ARE 12.

THE REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT IS OPEN FOR ALL SEASONS EXCEPT THE CURRENT ONE.

SPRING SEASON

MARCH 1- JUNE 5 , 2010        FULL!  12 TEAMS  

 REGISTRATION         CLOSED

SUMMER / FALL LEAGUE  2010

AUGUST 1 - OCTOBER 30 

REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL JUNE 30 ,2010  OR UNTIL FULL MAX 12 TEAMS

1   TEAM PAID DEPOSIT         11   SPOTS REMAINING

 EARLY BIRD         SIGNUP AND PAY FULL PAYMENT BY MAY 1 2010 ,$200 BUCKS OFF FEES.

WINTER LEAGUE

NOVEMBER 30 , 2010 -JANUARY 28, 2011

 0    TEAMS PAID              12    SPOTS REMAINING

HEY GUYS , JUST A REMINDER, THE SCOREKEEPERS REFS DO THE BEST THEY CAN, BUT BOYS, PRINT CLEARLY,OR USE STICKERS FOR NAMES OF PLAYERS.PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT NUMBERS AND  HAVE ALL PLAYERS ON SCORESHEET, THIS IS A CAPTAINS RESPONSIBILTY ,IF NAMES DONT MATCH NUMBERS, GUYS WILL BE LOSING THEIR POINTS AND HOW MANY GAMES THEY PLAYED.THIS COULD COST THEM FROM MAKING PLAYOFFS.I TOLD REFS SCOREKEEPERS TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR "RINGERS". THESE  ARE GUYS BEING PUT UNDER ANOTHER GUYS NAME SO THAT HE CAN PLAY, NOT COOL.

SO IF YOU ARE MISSING POINTS AND GAMES UP TO THIS POINT, EITHER YOU WERE NOT ON SCORESHEET OR YOUR NUMBER WAS WRITTEN DOWN WRONG, I WILL NOT BE CHANGING THIS ON SCORESHEETS.PLEASE MAKE SURE THE SCORESHEETS ARE RIGHT BEFORE THE GAME BEING PLAYED.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS, OF THE LAST 5 GAMES , ALOT OF GUYS MISSED GOALS ASSISTS ETC THIS MAY COST GUYS A SPOT IN  THE ALLSTAR GAME .IF NUMBERS ARE WRONG WITH A PENALTY AND WE CANT MAKE IT OUT, IT WILL GO TO THE CAPTAIN.

STICKERS ARE A LOT EASIER AND CLEANER, IF YOU GUYS CAN DO THAT THIS WOULD BE GREAT.

CHEERS

I REALLY DONT GET IT, BUT I WILL BE WAVING THE TEAM FINE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON, WAY TO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TEAMS CAN REACH THESE MILESTONES, 62 PENALTY MINUTES. WOW!  I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING , THOUGH, IF SOME PLAYER GOES OVER THE 35 MINUTES MARKER, THIS WILL BE SERIOUSLY DEALT WITH.THERE WONT BE ANY COMPLAINTS , BECAUSE IT WILL BE A FINAL DECISION BY COUNCIL. SO BASICALLY IF YOU GUYS DONT AGREE WITH THE TEAM FINES, THEN INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS.LIKE SOME EMAILS I AM RECEIVING, THAT THE FINES ARE A "CASH GRAB" FOR THE THE LEAGUE.WOW!!

I PUT THE FINES IN TO DETER GUYS FROM GETTING PENALTIES ,BUT SOME ARE STILL PLAYING "HARDCORE".

SO INSTEAD OF ANY FINES,THERE WILL JUST BE SUSPENSIONS HANDED OUT.

IF YOU COME INTO THIS LEAGUE THINKING YOU CAN RACK UP PENALTIES , YOU ARE SERIOUSLY MISTAKEN.

I WILL GO WITH FOUR TEAMS IN THIS LEAGUE , IF I HAVE TOO TO KEEP IT CLEAN.

ANOTHER THING, STOP YAPPING AT THE REFS, I WAS AT GAMES ,THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I TALKED TO THE REFS , IF ANY PLAYER GETS IN THEIR FACES AND COMPLAINS, HE GONNA TELL YOU ONCE, THEN YOU ARE GETTING THROWN OUT, RESPECT THE REFS, SOME ARE NEW AND GUYS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT, BUT FOR THE SPRING I HAVE BROUGHT IN SOME MORE REFS WITH A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, 4 REFS TO BE EXACT, THESE GUYS WONT TAKE ANY CRAP.

IF YOUR TEAM START GETTING TO MANY PENALTY MINUTES IN THE NEXT SEASON, WE WILL BE PLACING TWO REFS AT THOSE GAMES. THE COST OF THE OTHER REF WILL BE COMING OUT OF YOUR POCKET. THERE  WILL BE NO DISCUSSION ON THIS ISSUE, YOU WILL PAY FOR THE EXTRA REF FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON, NO CASH GRAB , HERE.THIS WILL ADD UP QUITE FAST AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING..

THE MINOR PENALTIES AND MISCONDUCTS , READ THE RULES, EVERYONE AGREED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, NOW THAT GUYS ARE GETTING CLOSE TO THE MAX PENALTY MINUTES, COMPLAINING STARTS , HERE IT IS

YOU START ANY CRAP  AND THE REF GIVES YOU A GAME MISCONDUCT , YOU SIT YOUR TIME IN THE BOX AND YOU ALSO GET 4 MINUTE REGULAR PENALTY ADDED TO YOUR TIME AND A TEN MINUTE MISCONDUCT, PER RULES, THAT IS 14 MINUTES ADDED ON TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL TOTAL.

I RECENTLY TALKED RANDOMLY TO 7 CAPTAINS AT GAMES, THEIR TAKE IS , THIS IS A FUN LEAGUE, YOU WANNA GET PENALTIES AND YAP YOU DO THE TIME.

ACTUALLY 3 CAPTAINS I TALKED TO SAID THAT THEY COULDNT BELIEVE GUYS AND TEAMS ARE RACKING UP SO MANY PENALTIES, SOME WERE SHOCKED!!!

GREAT TO MEET A LOT OF YOU GUYS TODAY, SOME PRETTY GOOD HOCKEY OUT THERE.

CHEERZZ

wow!  already a overwhelming response for the league survey, awesome.

just to let everyone know and so they are not left out, i am going with 10 teams for the spring season, just to see what happens.

i have 10 teams confirmed, 1 paid, so what that means is i wont give teams confirmed to much time to pay deposit, for there are teams wanting in.the fee and games will be the same, but with a added allstar game for b division. we will have two divisions of 5 ,see how that goes.

about the survey , couple things to address

1. couple concerns about scheduling, this is hard enough, if you look back through the latest news,i am offering teams to pick their own games depending on availability.if you are one of the first 5 to pay deposit, i said, you can pick your schedule, this is only with deposit, if you do not take advantage of that then you have to play games where they are scheduled...you do have a choice, use it.

2.to a few and i mean few, guys that are saying this league sucks and rating it a 1 or 2 , instead of dissing the league come up with something constructive and we will see what we can do, otherwise pleaaase dont play, this is a fun league.

for the rest of you so far , around 25  surveys, you guys enjoy the league. with concerns you put on the survey i will bring to the open meeting.it will not just be a captains meeting anymore, cuz i guess guys want to come and voice concerns.remember this is a pond hockey league , not a council meeting.

remember get cash in to pick schedule and save spot, will not hold for long.
