RE:              New Ice Time Allocation Policy

Minor Council is pleased to announce the new Ice Time Allocation Policy that has been developed over the past few months. The new policy can be found on the Hockey NL website at https://hockeynl.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Ice-Allocation-Policy-Updated-October-2023.pdf. Please CLICK  HERE for a brief rationale for the policy and an overview of the more significant changes. The most significant change is the reporting process. Members can submit Ice Time Allocation Complaints through the https://hnlprovincials.ca site using the Ice Time Allocation Complaints link located on the home page.

Minor Council is also launching a new score reporting mechanism that associations will be expected to use to submit all scores for exhibition games, tournament games and league play games. Members can submit their scores using the Hockey NL 2023-24 Scoring link located on the main page of the https://hnlprovincials.ca website.

Members with questions are encouraged to reach out to their area members.

Yours in Hockey,

Gonzo Bennett

Chair, Minor Council Executive Committee,
