Ice scheduling and billing rules-MOHL

  1. Immediately following announcement of coaches, requests must be made for any specifics of ice schedules.Most likely there will not be an abundance of these considering the teams are not picked until August or September. However, a coach may have a couple things he knows in advance, like extra ice ( if he is confident team will be in for this ). This will not be scheduled until there is confirmation that parents have agreed to budget for this, but it will give us time to prepare for the possibility. Same goes for tournaments and possible dates the coach knows in advance he does not want. All requests will be considered but not guaranteed. The only guarantee is you will get 40 hours +/- 1 hour that will be scheduled along with travel ice. The sooner requests are in, the better.
  2. We will give you your 40 hour schedule as soon as it is done ( Aug 1st +/- couple days) and we will consider requests and changes between then and your scheduling meeting that we will adjust master schedule and your bill to. After your scheduling meeting, the master schedule and bill are locked in and the organization will not be responsible for tracking changes, collecting money for you or adjusting your bill. This will be 100% the team’s responsibility. The billing for all teams where payments will be due are end of Aug. for Aug. ice ( probablynot applicable for MOHL teams.) end of Oct. mid Nov. ( end of Midget travel season ) and end of Feb., which is when we are in the homestretch of the current season and in process of paying bills and getting ready for the next one. Any March ice will be paid then as well. March ice will be offered to teams as soon as we get it; there will be approximately two weeks to get requests in and this ice scheduled. After this 2 week window, the un wanted ice will be turned back to rink.
  3. All MOHL teams will be given their allotted 40 hours which will be scheduled in advance with the travel teams where prime slots will be spread around as best we can. All extra ice in excess of 40 will be requested by coaches to myself and scheduler and considered. This ice is to be budgeted, approved by parents and paid in full by end of Feb. with rest of teams. Your bill, if any, will be known and confirmed by org. and team before league play even starts. This is being stated as clearly as possible only to eliminate any gray area or assumptions and help us all be more united and on same page with everything that lies ahead of us with our hockey season.
