There were about 600 players last season on 35 teams in 7
divisions and programs including our Women's division. All girls

We are continuing our very successful Learn-to-Play program. The
program is intended for beginners. Some participants may be
allowed to register in Novice Division as well. Please contact
the EVP House League to discuss. |

The players are assigned to play in divisions based on their
birth year. Per specific requests, exceptions may be made at the
discretion of the EVP House League. |

Girls' games will be played on Sundays. We expect to play at
Leaside, at one or two other City operated arenas or the Beaches
Sport Centre. The Women’s division plays on Wednesday evenings
at Beaches. |

Ice times will not be finalized until we know how many teams we
will have in each division. We are also still in the process of
finalizing ice permits for the 2010/2011 season. Expected
playing time for Learn-to-Play is 7:00 am at Leaside. Novice is
expected to be at Leaside from 8:00 am to 11:00 am. Atom,
Peewee, Bantam and Midget divisions are expected to play at
Leaside from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and other arenas at similar
times. To the extent possible we will give each division regular
playing times similar to the 2009-2010 season. |

The season starts in late September and generally ends at the
end of March. The season culminates with a championship day with
all players involved. A banquet follows the championship games
with awards for all players. |

Practices are for the Novice, Atom and Peewee divisions on
alternate Saturdays. We hope to keep the practices at arenas
close to our community. At this time, we are optimistic of
having Novice and Atom practices on Saturday morning and Peewee
practices in the early afternoon. |

We need almost 200 volunteers to run the house league. Coaches,
assistant coaches and trainers are required for each house
league team. 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 1-day training sessions for
coaches, assistant coaches and trainers at no cost to
volunteers. |

We have been informed that ice costs are increasing for next
season. We will also be paying HST. TLGHA is a not-for-profit
organization so we have no option but to pass along these
increases to our participants. We have kept the increases to an
absolute minimum for the 2010-2011 season.
To encourage
early registration we have introduced Early Bird discounts. The
discounts will be applied on all registrations that are
completed and paid prior to April 30.
The fees for the
2010/2011 season are: |

managers, trainers and coaches, there will be an expanded House
League tournament team program. The program will include teams

will be announced soon. All House League tournament team
