Dear Patient JAHA Player,

The email previously sent out had an incorrect link to the playoff schedule (and the incorrect link didn’t even take you anywhere fun). The correct link is below:

Apologies for any inconvenience, frustration, consternation, and/or anger this may have caused.

Good day JAHA!

A few updates for your Tuesday morning:

- PLAYOFF SCHEDULE: The final playoff schedule is posted at the rink and can also be found by clicking here. There were two changes from the original schedule published in January, those are marked with an asterisk (*) and highlighted in red text.

- BANQUET: The end-of-the-year JAHA banquet is scheduled for Friday, April 14, 2017. Times and more details will be announced as it gets closer.

- RULE CHANGES: To address playoff games running long and delaying the remaining games during the day, the board is proposing two major rule changes that affect overtime periods and shootouts. (A minor change to the rules was also made to clarify that overtime periods are 5 minutes with a running clock.) FIRST, during the overtime period, it is proposed that all penalties are assessed as a penalty shot for the non-penalized team in lieu of the penalized player being sent off the ice, unless the penalty involves a suspension – immediate and otherwise, which still must be served. SECOND, it is proposed that after all players on a team have had a shot attempt during a shootout, there are no restrictions on who shoots, meaning any player may take any number of consecutive shot attempts until a winner is declared. If you have any concerns about these two changes, please send them to info@juneauhockey.org by March 16, 2017.

That’s all for today. All the tiers look to have some tight races for seeding coming into the last few games of the regular season. Should make for some exciting JAHA hockey!

Have fun out there and see you on the ice.

Winter '17 Kickoff

JAHA Members,

Hope everyone had a great holiday break and a very happy New Years.

The Winter 2017 JAHA season begins tomorrow and as usual, it looks like it’s going to be an awesome one. Your JAHA Board has been hard at work over the holidays putting the schedule and teams together, getting jerseys cleaned and organized, and making sure all the accounting is done, so if you happen to see your tier rep, secretary, vice president, registrar, or treasurer, be sure to give them an extra thanks!

As always, there are some thank you’s, reminders, and notices as we head into the new season:

  • SPONSORED JERSEYS: A huge thank you to all the businesses who have sponsored JAHA jerseys! Using sponsored jerseys helps JAHA keep registration fees low by avoiding costs associated with buying, maintaining, laundering, and storing jerseys. Big shout outs to ISLAND PUB, SVENSSON BOATWORKS, ALASKA AIRLINES, LOUIE’S, SEARHC, KENSINGTON, CARPENTERS LOCAL 1281, SHAW DENTAL, THUNDER MOUNTAIN DRYWALL, and our newest sponsor, COEUR ALASKA. Thanks to these businesses, Tiers A and B are completely sponsored and Tier C is close. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SPONSORING A TEAM OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE? Before buying a set of jerseys, shoot us an email and we’ll work with you on colors, recommended quantities and sizes, and custom jersey sources.
  • JAHA RULES: You should already be familiar with USA Hockey rules , but you also need to know that JAHA has its own supplemental rules and be familiar with them as well. If a JAHA rule calls for a suspension or ban, this is in addition to any penalties assessed under the USA Hockey rules.
  • RULE CHANGES: The JAHA Board will be amending the JAHA rules this season to change playoff shootout rules so that after a team has gone through their bench once, with everyone having taken a shot, the team can choose any player to shoot in subsequent rounds and there are no requirements to change players for each round. DO YOU HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR A RULE ADDITION OR CHANGE? If so, let us know!
  • NO ALCOHOL IN THE RINK: We can’t stress it enough – the rule against possession/consumption of alcohol inside the rink is a City & Borough of Juneau rule, not a JAHA rule. Savikko Park, the park that Treadwell Arena is located in, does allow for open alcohol containers. So if you would like to enjoy an alcoholic beverage after a game, you may legally do so in the park area immediately outside the rink as long as you are not in a roadway.
  • REMEMBER – DON’T ARGUE WITH THE REFS: They are there to officiate the game according to JAHA and USA Hockey rules, maintain order, and ensure everyone’s safety. If a penalty is called on you, head directly to the penalty box. If you disagree with a call, wait until immediately after the game and calmly bring it up with the ref. If you cannot do this and/or still disagree, please contact JAHA and we can get in touch with the Juneau Hockey Officials (JHO) board on your behalf. Any abuse of officials, including swearing – even if not directed at a specific person – can result in at least a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct and can escalate to a game misconduct, which carries an automatic one game suspension imposed by USA Hockey.
  • PLAYOFFS: The Winter 2017 playoff schedule is ATTACHED to this announcement! That’s right, the playoff schedule is being released even before the season starts, which may very well be a JAHA first. We are aware that some of the games fall during the high school’s spring break, which may conflict with travel plans. Our schedule is driven by the rink’s schedule and unfortunately, this timing is unavoidable. We hope you understand! The championship games for all tiers will be held on APRIL 2nd.
  • INTRO TO HOCKEY: JAHA is offering another Intro to Hockey class starting on January 18th! If you are new to the sport or know someone who is thinking about playing, it’s $60 for four 1-hour sessions led by some of JAHA’s best. You can register by following the directions here !

Lastly, we are always interested in your feedback. If you have a few minutes to take a very brief survey, we’d really appreciate if you’d click here and answer a few questions for us. We take all input very seriously and do what we can to improve the association for all.

Thank you all for your participation in making JAHA the best adult hockey association in the world, as voted by us! Looking forward to a great season on the ice.

See you out there.

— Commissioner Soza

JAHA will be offering Coed A/B/C/40+ tiers, a Women’s tier, and an Intro to Hockey series of classes. The final tier structure is subject to change depending on the number of players who register.

The Intro to Hockey 2.0 classes build on past Intro to Hockey classes and are an opportunity for beginner to intermediate players, both men and women, to gain and practice hockey skills. Classes will include stick handling and other hockey skills, positioning, and team play. Registrants will be expected to have at least basic skating, turning, and stopping skills.

The Holiday Jamboree will consist of 5-6 games in one coed mixed-skill tier. The gameplay may be 3-on-3 to 5-on-5 depending on the number of registrants. This season is a way to stay in hockey shape over the holidays and a chance for those returning home for the holidays to his the ice while they are in town. This season will not have a tournament or championship.

Important Notes

  • NEW RULES: There will be a new rule regarding Late Fees, $75 for late registrations during the first half of the season and $30 for late registration during the second half of the season, and a modification to the rules to require at least half-shield face protection for ALL TIERS to bring JAHA in line with other adult recreational hockey leagues around the country. Both of these rules will be posted at the rink to start the 10-day notice process before adoption.
  • Coaching: Are you interested in coaching a beginner team? Let us know! Coaching is a great way to share your hockey knowledge with those new to the sport and help them enjoy the game even more.
  • Jerseys: Do you have old JAHA jerseys hanging around? Take a look and if you do, let us know and we will arrange to collect them. ALL PLAYERS WHO HAVE NOT TURNED IN THEIR JERSEY WILL BE ASSESSED A $50 FEE DUE UPON REGISTRATION.
  • Survey: Keep an eye out for a JAHA survey! We appreciate your feedback and want to make JAHA the best it can be for you.
