Hello JAHA members,

Throughout the season, we’ve received a few comments from some of our members (you) about the use of Livebarn, Teampages, and Active. We are trying to solicit some more opinions from the rest of you about these topics so we, as a board, can look into additional options or modifications to the current status quo regarding these services. Please find the survey link below and additional information about our three areas of interest. Please note that responses are limited to one per email address so we can verify respondents are JAHA members.

Livebarn https://livebarn.com/en/

Livebarn is a recording system that the Treadwell rink had put in that allows anyone with a membership to the Livebarn service to log in and both stream the current activity as well as load replays of previous games played. The service actually allows you to stream content from any rink with Livebarn installed. JAHA, as an organization, can ask the rink to place limitations on which of these events are streamed, recorded, or broadcast. We as a board have some mixed opinions about this as we find it quite useful for reviewing controversial incidents that we receive reports on, some of our members who have access to the service may enjoy rewatching their games or sharing their games with others who have the service, and we also recognize some may not appreciate being recorded or used as a product without access to the service. Please make sure to share any thoughts you have on the survey link provided at the bottom!

Teampages

Teampages has been JAHA’s platform of choice for hosting Teams, Schedules, and results/stats from played games. For the most part, the platform has been quite serviceable. However we’ve definitely noticed an increasing number of complaints from users having trouble accessing teams, rosters, and other glitches in general. We would like to get a wider range of opinions on the Teampages site.

ACTIVE

ACTIVE is the parent company that the Teampages platform exists under. In addition to that, they are technically the host of JAHA’s domain(juneauhockey.org) and finally they host our registration system that we use for signing players up for most of our JAHA related activities. Recently there have been several controversies with this company and we’ve received several complaints from members and we, as a board, are actively looking for other, better platforms to use . We actively try and warn people not to accidentally register for the advertised ACTIVE products while signing up for our services and they’ve actually faced lawsuits for this very thing. We would like to get a better idea of the experience of the average JAHA user while using their registration system to sign up for JAHA.

For those of you who made it this far, thank you, and as always please feel free to email us at juneauadulthockey@gmail.com with any thoughts or comments you may have!

Regards,

-Andrew Dimond, JAHA President.

Hello All,

I have received notice from the rink that they will be closed again today, Wednesday January 24. Because of this, all JAHA games and Intro to hockey have been canceled. We will announce when the games have been rescheduled for the affected teams and players.

Thank you for your understanding,

Hello All,

Hello JAHA,

During the last dump of snow, we got a lot of questions about whether games would b e canceled or not and I wanted to send out a message ahead of the incoming snow dump to clarify JAHA’s current policy regarding whether or not games will occur.

Tu summarize, as long as the rink remains open and JHO is able to provide the minimum number of officials to have a game, the game will happen. We have an incredibly full season and there are very few ice times available to reschedule any games, and as such as long as the rink is still remaining open and we are able to get officials from JHO, games will happen as scheduled. Players should make their own determination about whether it is safe for them to travel to the rink or not given the road conditions during their drive.

In the event that one of these two variables changes, we will alert all affected teams through TeamPages/email as quickly as we can.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us at juneauadulthockey@gmail.com.

Thanks, and see you on the ice!

-Andrew Dimond, JAHA President.
