RE:                   Clarification of House League Player Affiliation

AFFILIATION IN HOUSE LEAGUE

There is no affiliation for House League teams with the exception of one (1) goaltender from a team of a lower league division except in the Midget / Juvenile Division.  A Juvenile aged goalie may be used in the Midget / Juvenile Division providing he/she isn’t a member of the select team.

            MOVEMENT OF HOUSE LEAGUE PLAYERS

Players registered and approved on ALLIANCE House League rosters may play for two (2) additional ALLIANCE teams.  With the third classification team in most cases Minor Development, only five (5) games are permitted, provided they qualify by residence and age.  Note:  Tournaments and exhibition games count towards the 5 games House League players must fulfill their commitment to their House League team before playing as an affiliated player or for a House League Select or higher category team.

            AFFILIATED PLAYERS - PARTICIPATION IN GAMES

Any player participating as an affiliated player must be indicated on the game sheet by the notation “AP" beside his/her name. Appearance of the player's name on the official game sheet shall be considered participation in the game, except in the case of a substitute goaltender, in which case actual participation shall be specifically noted on the game sheet.  Affiliation from House League to Select is unlimited as ALLIANCE Hockey Select teams do not participate in a league.

A Major Novice, Major Atom, Major Peewee, Major Bantam and Major Midget player may participate as an affiliated player for no more than five (5) games after January 10 and still maintain eligibility for the team to which he or she is registered.

AFFILIATION LIST DEADLINE ‑ JANUARY 10

            An affiliated player’s list must be filed and approved by January 10 of the current season. Failure to file an affiliated players list prior to January 10 will result in the team not being allowed to use any affiliated Player’s for the remainder of that season. 

            NOTE:

            Tournament and exhibition games shall not count as part of the five games with the exception of a third team as stated above. No player may be used as an affiliated player without the consent of his/her ALLIANCE Hockey approved team. The player's approved roster copy, along with appropriate written documentation must accompany the player. Failure to comply to this regulation may result in the said player being deemed to have their affiliation rights relinquished with any team for the remainder of the season.
