Answers to frequently asked questions
 
   
1) There were about 600 players last season on 35 teams in 7 divisions and programs including our Women's division. All girls play in age-appropriate divisions of 4 to 8 teams, as follows:
 
   
Learn to Play girls born in 2004, 2005
Novice girls born in 2002, 2003
Atom girls born in 2000, 2001
Peewee girls born in 1998, 1999
Bantam girls born in 1996, 1997
Midget girls born in 1993, 1994, 1995
Senior (Women's) adult player born in 1992 or earlier
   
2) 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.
   
3) 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.
   
4) 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.
   
5) 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.
   
   
6) 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.
   
7) 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.
   
8) 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.
   
9) 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:
 
     
Division / Age Group Early Bird Fee Fee After April 30



Learn to Play $299 $325
     
Novice, Atom, Peewee
(younger girls with practices)
$429 $465
     
Bantam, Midget
(older girls with no practices)
$399 $435
     
Women's division $429 $465
   
10) Subject to level of interest and availability of volunteer team managers, trainers and coaches, there will be an expanded House League tournament team program. The program will include teams that participate in several tournaments throughout the season and teams that participate in 1 or a few tournaments. Details will be announced soon. All House League tournament team participation is on a first-come basis. If you are interested please complete and submit (by mail or fax) the Tournament Form as soon as possible.
