Hi all
Just some reminders and information for the final weekend of the tournament
Tournament Scorekeepers/Timekeepers
Please ensure you only schedule those who are skilled and well-experienced with the iPad/score clock. Games in the tournament are very fast, so a proficient score/time keeper helps prevent delays and keeps us on schedule. This is especially important for the finals. Last weekend, we did have some inexperienced scorekeepers and timekeepers which did cause some delays, so please schedule your very best for the final weekend.
Equal Playing Time
A very strong reminder from our head of coaching to ensure coaches are running their lines fairly. Only exceptions can be a powerplay or the last few minutes of a close game. Even in the finals, we expect all players to be playing equal amounts of time. If we notice discrepancies, we may be forced to act quicker than usual since there won’t be much time and room left. Please do not put us in this tough position.
Clearing the Bench Between Games
Once your game is complete, please try your best to empty the bench area to make room for the next team. At the same time, the coach of the next game should take their equipment and their team to their net while the bench is being cleared. This way, no two teams should be in one bench at a given time.
Schedule Updates
As the semi final and final matchups get finalized, we will be updating SportNinja, the website, and the brackets on the poster boards. Obviously, these will take time, so we please bear with us. The fastest update will be the manual poster boards in the hallway.
Awards Ceremony
The awards Ceremony will take place on Sunday Mar 8th from 5-6PM. Please have your teams organized based on the layout attached. There will be labeled boxes with the each team’s name on the floor indicating where teams should be seated. The Division Coordinator will distribute the Medals to the Team Manager of each team receiving a medal. (All teams in Mites and Jr Squirts will receive a medal.) Division Coordinators, please see Sally at any time on Sunday to pick up the medals.
Equipment Return
Equipment drop-off will happen Monday, March 9th at the locker that is located at 12100 Riverside Way. The code to enter the storage facility is 197576. The allocated time for each division are as follows.
Mites/ Jr. Squirt: 6pm-6:30pm
Mini Mites/ Sr. Squirt/Adult: 6:30pm-7pm
Pewee/Bantam: 7pm-7:30pm
Please email equipment@rcfha.org if you are not able to make it or have any questions.
Jersey Return
Please see below instructions from our Assistant Equipment Manager Rowan Maclean
As mentioned previously, this season’s jersey returns will be through team managers and team captains for the adult league. As Farhaan mentioned in his previous email, this process will be running in reverse of how Jerseys and deposits were distributed and collected at the start of season.
I have set a few times and the location that I will be available for you to pick up your team’s jersey deposits, and drop off the jerseys. When picking up the Jerseys, I will also be giving you a print out for parents or players to sign, acknowledging they’ve received their deposit. I will also include information on who gave cash, and who gave a cheque, or if they never paid their deposit. You do not need to exchange cheques for jerseys; the cheques will be held by us and shred unless there is a failure to return the jersey attached to it.
Manager Deposit Pickup Times:
Managers may pick up their teams’ deposits from me on the following dates and times:
- March 6th – 4:30pm to 7:00pm
- March 9th – 12:00pm to 2:00pm
- March 13th – 4:30 to 7:00pm
Location: 14-12331 Phoenix Dr. Richmond, BC, Canada.
Jersey Return by Managers:
Managers may meet with me to return their team jerseys and Forfeited Deposits on the following dates and times:
- March 23rd – 4:30pm to 7:00pm
- March 27th – 12:00pm to 2:00pm
- March 30th – 4:30pm to 7:00pm
Location: 14-12331 Phoenix Dr. Richmond, BC, Canada.
Final Due Date:
All jerseys must be returned and deposits collected no later than: April 2nd
Deposits not collected by this date will be considered forfeited.
Ideally, families will receive their deposits back through their team managers. Please ensure jerseys are returned to your manager before the scheduled deadline.
If any family is unable to return their jersey to their manager within the given time period and does not wish to forfeit their deposit, please contact me directly at:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: You must reach out to me a minimum of 2 weeks before the deadline has passed. Failure to do so will result in the forfeit of your deposit.
My goal is to ensure everyone has a fair and equal opportunity to return their jerseys and receive their deposit; please contact me with any inquiries you may have regarding this season’s jersey returns.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Rowan Maclean
