follows the championship and consolation final games. |

managers, trainers and coaches, there will be a House League

participate in 3 or 4 tournaments throughout the season. The
additional cost will be about $500, subject mainly to entry fees
for tournaments. There is no competitive selection process for
this program. Players are accepted on a first-come basis in the

select" program in co-ed hockey. Subject to level of interest
and availability of volunteers, there will be DS teams in all
youth house league divisions. The program will include
additional practice, exhibition games and participation in
tournaments. The additional cost is yet to be determined but
should be between $500 and $1,000. There will be a competitive
selection process for this program. Players will be invited to a
try-out in the fall. Express interest by answering "yes" to the

REQUESTS FOR PLAYERS TO BE PLACED ON TEAMS WITH FRIENDS
AND BALANCING – In the interest of fair and balanced
competition, TLGHA reserves the right to assign players to teams
and move players as needed to achieve reasonable competitive
balance among teams in the division. To that end, TLGHA offers
no guarantee that requests for a player to be placed on the same
team as another will be accommodated. Such requests are
accommodated on a best efforts basis and not at the expense of
fair and balanced competition. A place has been added to the
on-line registration to record a request. REQUESTS WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED BY PHONE, FAX or EMAIL. |

VOLUNTEERS –We need over 200 volunteers to run
the house league. Coaches, assistant coaches and trainers are
required for each house league team. WE MUST HAVE A CERTIFIED
TRAINER ON THE BENCH AT EVERY HOUSE LEAGUE GAME. Each division
requires volunteers to assist with coordination, communication,
game sheets and statistics. We strongly encourage women to
assist as bench staff. No experience is necessary. Leaside
provides training sessions for coaches, assistant coaches and
trainers at no cost to volunteers. Some of the training sessions
can be taken online and may take as little as a few hours. |
