TUESDAY NIGHT DRAFT [UPDATE]
Last call.......if interested please contact me ASAP.
DRAFT.......we will be hosting the draft (setting teams) tomorrow night (Thursday). We're inviting everyone down to Avenue 3 Pizza to join us (details below). Though the draft will be held privately, we will be releasing the teams tomorrow night and will be discussing the division/game format (i.e. one traditional game per night for each team, or run with a tournament-style format where games are shorter but each team plays 2 times per night). It will also give us a chance to discuss jersey requirements and whatnot. As this is a new division, I'm looking for input from everyone....it is important for me to have everyone involved as we setup the framework for this new program (what we do now will impact future seasons).
Also looking for a couple of captains to participate in both the formation of (draft) and in heading teams for the coming season........contact me if interested.
Details for tomorrow night.......
TIME: 7:30pm
LOCATION: Avenue 3 Pizza
2226 Palo Verde Ave
Long Beach, CA 90815
(562) 430-0544
FOOD/DRINK: We'll have tables gathered, but everyone will fend for themselves.
Please let me know if you plan on joining us tomorrow night (Thursday) so that we can make sure to have enough tables set aside for our group.

Abuse of Officials. [901]•Expressing concern about a call/non-call is expected, but there will be zero tolerance for yelling at or personalizing matters with an official. We are a recreational hockey league.

For a recreational hockey league to have expectations of perfection with regards to its officials is unreasonable. Our referees are not perfect, just as our participants are not perfect. If there is an issue with regards to professionalism/conduct, please forward those concerns to management in a reasonable manner and we will investigate, taking action if/when necessary. All here because we love the league and the sport!!

Our Ratings section has been updated. Please note that this is a "guide" we as league management uses to help in an effort to maintain competitively balanced rosters/divisions. In general, team rosters and divisional placement are based on an the overall strength of a given team's roster and, as such, upon direction and/or approval of league management, teams may consist of rostersd that may not clearly comply with the ratings "guide". League management reserves the right to modify player ratings/divisional requirements at any time when we feel it is in the best interests of the league.
