JAHA Reminders

Posted by JAHA Webmaster at Sep 5, 2016 12:44PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

The first day of Fall 2016 games are in the books and, as usual, there are just a few reminders:

  • SCORESHEETS. When teams arrive at the rink, one team needs to make sure to grab a scoresheet from the front desk and fill it in, then get it to the other team to complete. When scoresheets don’t get filled in until warmups (or later), it cuts into the allotted ice time, which usually means the game will need to switch to run time instead of stop time.
  • GETTING ON THE ICE. JAHA players may not get on the ice surface until it has been cleared by the refs. This allows the refs the time and space to do their job of making sure the ice is safe and ready for play and allows the ice to setup smoothly.
  • GOALIE JERSEYS. JAHA goalies must wear a jersey in mainly the same color as the team they are playing for. In certain situations, such as when a goalie is subbing at the last minute from a previous game, this may be difficult – it may be possible however to turn a jersey inside out for a lighter color or to borrow a jersey from another player.
  • STICKERS. ONE STICKER PER HELMET. Multiple stickers make it very difficult to determine who is a registered JAHA player at a glance. If you have past seasons’ stickers on your helmet, please remove them or cover them so that only the current blue stickers are showing.

Thanks all for your help in getting the 2016-2017 season off to a great start – the first games showed a little bit of summer rust being shaken off the blades, but overall looked pretty good! With better attendance as the summer wraps up and getting back into hockey shape, this looks like it will be a competitive season across the board.

See you on the ice!

2016 Fall Season

You’ve been waiting for it all summer – dreaming of dark nights spent under the bright lights of Treadwell Arena, breaking out the sweet toe drag move that gets the goalie out of position, leaving you a wide open net to score the game winner late in the third period. Even the fan in the bleachers looks away from their phone for a split second, admiring the dedication you’ve shown to hockey in Juneau.

The time is now.

Games start TONIGHT. If you haven’t done so already, now would be a great time to lay out all your gear and make sure you have everything (and clean off any mold if you haven’t looked at your gear since last season). Be sure to stretch at least a little bit before you hit the ice. Also, here are some important season kick-off reminders:

  • WEBSITE! You should have already received an e-mail invitation to your team. Accepting this invitation allows you to send and receive messages to your teammates, indicate your attendance at games, and ties into the TeamPages smartphone app that will sync your game schedule to your calendar. If you can’t find the e-mail invitation – the subject will be “Check out our new team website” – check your spam or junk folder first, then let us know at info@juneauhockey.org.
  • STICKERS! Please only have ONE sticker visible on the REAR of your helmet. You can stack stickers if you wish, but it’s likely best to remove old stickers before placing the new one on. Multiple stickers cause confusion.
  • SUBSTITUTIONS! Remember, from within your own tier are allowed without permission from the opposing team only in COED tiers. In Women’s and 40+, approval is always required given the mixed-skill nature of these tiers. Also, it goes without saying, but women are only allowed to substitute in Women’s tier and those aged 40 or over are allowed in 40+. (A recent board decision interprets “aged 40” as those turning 40 during the season.)
  • JERSEYS! Your JAHA Vice President, Treasurer, and Tier and Team Reps spend a tremendous amount of time and personal effort working distributing team jerseys at the beginning of the season and collecting them at the end so they can be inventoried and laundered for the next season’s players. We are still losing jerseys each season and WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please make sure that when you take a JAHA jersey, you sign it out on the sheet provided in your team’s bin. Jerseys that you sign out become your responsibility and failure to turn it in could mean not being allowed to play future JAHA games. If you know that you will miss your team’s last game, please make sure that your jersey is returned to a JAHA Board Member. Jerseys turned in to rink staff are not guaranteed to make it back to JAHA.
  • TEAM SPONSORS! Know a company that would be interested in a great form of marketing? Sponsorship of a team means not only on-ice advertising when the team is playing, but the logo will appear on the juneauhockey.org site, and if the team wins their tier championship, the logo and team name will appear on the JAHA dasher board at the rink the following year. Additional sponsorship opportunities on the website are available as well. Please contact us at info@juneauhockey.org for more information.
  • There is a Frequently Asked Questions page that provides answers and resources to help understand how JAHA works and why we do what we do. You can check it out by clicking the Frequently Asked Questions link on the left.
  • It’s very important to be familiar with both USA Hockey’s rules and JAHA’s supplemental rules. You can find USA Hockey’s rules by clicking here and you can find JAHA’s rules here.
  • The most important rules? Don’t fight, don’t argue with the referees (there is zero tolerance for physical or verbal abuse of officials), and make sure your helmet has at least a half-shield attached to it.
  • JAHA’s bylaws govern how your association is run and how you can participate, you can find those here.

Now, put your game face on and watch some YouTube highlight reels.

It’s about to get real.

Summer Registration!

It might be too early to think about playing hockey, but it’s not too late to register!

We’re trying something a little different this year and keeping registration open all summer so you can register, pay, and be all set to go when the fall season starts on September 4th.

This is especially helpful if you find yourself constantly scrambling to get your registration in at the last minute and/or usually end up paying late fees.

For the fall season, the fee is $230 per player, per tier from now until August 20th. After that, the registration climbs to $305 and space on a team with your friends is not guaranteed.

Click here and follow the instructions to get going.

See you in September!

All C-Tier players are encouraged to attend a discussion of Hockey Rules at the Treadwell Ice Arena on Sunday, March 6th at 5:15pm.

Referee Jerry Nankervis will bring his 20+ years of officiating experience to the forum. He’ll cover everything from basic icing and off-sides, the most common penalties that occur in Tier C (and how to prevent them), and all the penalties that we might not know about until it’s too late! He’ll work from the knowledge base of the USA Hockey Rules book and provide the internet link to access the rules anytime from your smartphone. Bring your own questions as Jerry will field them during the Q&A at the end.

Thanks in advance to Jerry for giving us his free time!
