Good thought, but the Cougar Board members and rink owner will have many discussions regarding our entry into this league before we commit our club and our rink. We've seen this tried in the past and hope it works out to everyones' benefit. Some things to ponder while you are waiting for March 2006 to roll around:

- Referees should be required to be USA In-Line certified.

- Score keepers need to be paid and over the age of 10. They can't be in-house kids sleeping, drunk, eating pizza and not committed. Been there, done that. Anyone who is aware of what happened at TORHS Nationals understands that point.

-Rink owners must somehow figure out how to get more help than just themselves. A league will require a certain number of dedicated individuals to be successful.

- Rosters should be fixed for the period of the league play. Any alterations should be approved by the elected board.

- You may want to be on the phone to Feasterville....

- All money collected up front ensures committment and doesn't leave parents, players, rink owners, and organizers hung out to dry.

- Are the committed clubs sure their players are willing to travel up to 2 hours to play one game? Just asking, since we will be asking our parents....

Rink owners can't afford to screw this up. For the sake of salvaging roller hockey in the area, I hope it is a great success.

As long as you have a home rink that will support your team or club and your team can fully commit, than yes. Plus you meet all the financial needs.

Everyone shares your concerns, and they should. A lot of these points have already come up in our initial meetings and have been addressed. I'm sure we are going to have some bugs to work out. Check out the amendments page on the rules tab on the web site, it shows some of your concerns were already previously inserted. We are going to call a meeting next month and your club board members are all welcome. This League may not be for everyone and will not be able to accommodate just any club. Strict territorial rules will apply. We want any and all possible feedback, so feel free to express any good ideas. We are open to anything that will make this league run better and will openly accept any help.

call the nuber on the website

Cheese, guess you got my email. It did not go through to the NAYRHL site though. Most of what was in there you said, thanks. Anybody else think March is too late. Fourteen weeks plus playoffs takes the league well into June. Might create problems/conflicts with the existing tournament play format. Folks are not going to immediately abandon that idea until this league establishes itself. I understand the logic, that ice hockey will be done by March, but for most teams league play is done by mid February. Good luck, keep us in the loop.

We did not get any e-mails but I am told from the web site guy that it is now definitely working right now. However regarding the schedule some weekends a team may bang out two possibly three games. SO that?s how we figure we will be wrapped up in mid June. However if everyone collectively agrees to extend it or we can start earlier than we can explore those options. Some teams and some players are going to have to make some tough decisions about what they want to do. Again this league might not fit into everyone?s plans. Full commitment will be required from teams.
