Policy Changes: 1. Coaches select the League’s top players designated as First-Team All-Stars, Honorable Mention All-Stars and All-League using the following new procedure: -Each head coach will submit a maximum of 8 names from the team’s roster, in order of ability, for the All-Star ballot. There will be one round of voting. Coaches cast their vote for the top 15 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 3 goaltenders - regardless of division. Coaches are allowed to vote for players on their own team. The 9 forwards, 6 defensemen and 2 goaltenders with the most votes will be declared First-Team All-Stars. In the event of a tie vote, all tied players will be declared First-Team All-Stars. -Any remaining players receiving at least 6 votes will be declared Honorable Mention All-Stars. -The 3 forwards, 2 defensemen and 1 goaltender with the most votes will be declared All-League. In the event of a tie vote, all tied players will be declared All-League. 2. Division Champions: Division champions are no longer guaranteed a spot in the year-end tournament. The top-eight teams in the final regular-season standings earn a spot in the year-end tournament. 3. Tournament Overtime Ice Scrapes: Ice scrapes are now scheduled into year-end tournament games. Ice will be resurfaced after the first overtime period and after every two successive overtime periods. 4. The following was omitted from the JV Policy: Players, who are otherwise eligible to play in the League, cannot be cut from a team whose combined Varsity and Jr. Varsity roster does not exceed 35 players. 5. If weather conditions endanger the safety of League players, or if the bus company refuses to transport the team, Team Representatives can mutually agree to cancel a regularly scheduled game. Every attempt should be made to reschedule the game. -If teams are unable to reschedule cancelled games, the League Commissioner will intervene and suggest additional options to reschedule the games. -If the games cannot be rescheduled, the Commissioner will take into consideration the length of travel, date of the cancelled games, and the effort made to reschedule the games, to rule on the number of points awarded, if any, in the standings. |
