REGISTRATION AND SIGN-UP
- Each player will be required to register the first time you visit the website. This will provide you with your user name and password that will you will use to login each time you sign up for a game.
- When you register, please be very through and make sure you complete all information. You will be asked to classify your level of play so that you can be placed on lines with which you are most compatible. We will be assigning players by lines as follows: line 1- advanced skater, line 2- intermediate or average skater, line 3- beginning skater. You will also be required to print off an injury waiver form, sign it and fax it to the # provided. We must have this on file before you can skate so please do fax it back immediately.
- Once you are registered and have faxed back the waiver you are ready to sign up for your first game.
- Signing up for a game is easy! Simply visit the website and log in using your user name and password you received when you registered. Select the date you would like to play and click “sign up”. It’s that simple. If a game is already full you will be given the opportunity to sign up on a sub list. Your card will not be charged for the game unless you are notified that you have been selected to play due to a cancellation of another player. The sub list will be called in order of sign up. You can sign up in advance for as many as 4 games but you must pay for every game you sign up for and if you do not follow cancellation policy your fees will be forfeited. Please read our cancellation policy very carefully.
RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR PUCKHEAD HOCKEY
The rules are short and simple. Have fun and no fighting!
If you cannot play nice with others then you cannot play at all.
- All games will consist of NO MORE than 20 skaters (2 lines of 5 players). Our goal is to fill every game and you can help make that happen by having a good time and sharing that with others.
- Any game that is short (less than 20 skaters) will be played as equally as possible and lines divided accordingly.
- There will be two goalies for every game. This feature is one of the many features of PUCKHEAD hockey that differs from “drop in” hockey.
- Game jerseys will be provided for each player prior to the game and must be left in the locker room at the end of each game.
- Warm-up will typically be about 5 minutes while goalies set nets and take a few warm-up shots. Please do not try to kill your goalies during warm up.
- Game play will start with one side “dumping the puck” and the lines will change with every sound of the buzzer. When the buzzer sounds please leave the puck on the ice where it sits. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE PLAY. It takes time away from the next line.
- PUCKHEAD HOCKEY is a game of honor, if you commit a penalty or go offside, please release the puck to the other team and correct the condition immediately by coming out of the zone and allow the opponent to “regroup”. We play without referees and for this reason it is crucial that all players play with integrity. If you hear the opposing team call offside or penalty, don’t argue, just drop the puck and get back to work. It keeps the game moving and you will have more fun!
- It is ok to keep score and be competitive but please remember, we are not being scouted and none of us are expecting to be “called up” to the pros so keep it friendly. If you find your self getting too upset just take a break and remember why you are on the ice. We will NOT tolerate any violence on the ice or in the locker rooms. When you play PUCKHEAD HOCKEY you are playing at your own risk and if you get hurt or hurt somebody else YOU are liable and may face legal action if your play was aggressive or not in line with the spirit of the game.
- We will try to keep similar skill level players on the same lines so that it is as balanced as possible HOWEVER, if you find yourself “hot dogging” out there please remember that you are on a TEAM and all players on your line deserve the same play time as you do. If you feel you are ready to step up to the next line just let Ray or Eric know and we will make sure you get that opportunity.
- When the final buzzer sounds please exit the ice immediately. We have been given 90 minutes of ice time for our games and this is exceptional value for the price. Please do not abuse this by hanging out and shooting that extra shot. When the Zamboni doors open, its time to clear the ice. All pucks shall be left in the puck bag at the end of the game. And your jersey left on the hanger you received it on. Please help keep the locker rooms picked up as well.
PAYMENTS OPTIONS and CANCELLATION POLICY
- Payment and Cancellation policies are very strict and must be enforced without bias. We have created PUCKHEAD HOCKEY to provide an inexpensive way for friends to get together and play the game we love. We have set the price to cover the price of the ice and the costs of operation only. There is no room for grace. When you sign up for a game you will be given two options.
PAYMENTS OPTIONS:
Option #1 You can click to pay with CASH at the time of the game. If you do choose this option PLEASE come to the game prepared to pay the fee. There is an ATM at the rink, but it rarely works.
Option #2 You can use your credit card to purchase CREDITS in advance. Once purchased, the credits will be available to you for use on any game you choose and they never expire. If you buy 10 credits, you will receive 1 additional credit for free. (This is not cumulative; all 10 credits must be purchased at once).
***It is VERY IMPORTANT that you read and understand the cancellation policy below. Because we do keep the fees low for our members we must enforce the policy without exception.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
Because we try to fill every game it is IMPERATIVE that you show up for a game if you have signed up for the game. IF, you find yourself in a situation that you are going to be unable to make the game PLEASE CALL OR TEXT Ray or Eric immediately so that your spot can be filled. If you cancel within 6 hours of the game your fee will be forfeited, no exceptions. If you cancel prior to the 6th hour and have prepaid with a purchased credit, your account will be credited 1 game to use on a future date of your choice. If you had signed up to pay with cash at the game, that game fee will be due at your next game and your account will be noted to remind you of the additional fee. If you have a history of no shows or late cancellations, your account may be temporarily suspended to work out the issues.
Cancellations can ONLY be made by verbal contact or text with confirmation with Ray or Eric first. Please do not send an email or cancel online until you have that confirmation. All players are expected to be on the ice and ready to play ON or BEFORE scheduled game time. Please arrive no less than
15 minutes prior to game time. Any player that is not present 15 minutes prior to game time risks being replaced by a sub and forfeit of your fee for that game. If you run in 5 minutes before the game starts you cannot possibly be on the ice in time and that is unfair to your team. Please make sure you are there on time. If you know you are going to be a few minutes late, please call Ray or Eric and we will hold your spot.
