Inline Hockey - What is the Team Fee payment policy for leagues? A 50% deposit is required to get scheduled in the league.
The balance must be paid on the first night of the league
If balance is not paid before the 2nd game then a $25 late fee will be added to the team balance. If the team does not pay the balance, the late fee is added but the game is played.
After the 2nd week any player that has not paid their portion of the team fees is not allowed to play in their game.
For each additional week that balance is not paid in full, an additional $25 will be added to the team balance and the game will be played but recorded as a forfeit.
If the team has a balance of over $250 by the fourth game, they are not allowed to play or come in the facility.

Inline Hockey - Do we have bleachers/ viewing areas for hockey? Our Sports Bar provides viewer overlooks (and great food/ drink!) for the hockey rink.
|
Inline Hockey - Are there shootouts in tied games? After many requests from Bladium members, we have decided to implement shootouts during regular season games. If at the end of game, the score is tied, a shootout will commence immediately. Their will not be an overtime period, and the teams will not change ends for the shootout.The visiting team will shoot first. The teams shall alternate shots. Three Players from each team shall participate in the shootout and they shall proceed in such order as the Captain/Coach selects. Coed Leagues will alternate Guy/Girl or Girl/Guy, as the Coach/Captain selects. All players are eligible to participate in the shootout, unless they are serving a penalty, a ten minute misconduct, a game misconduct, a gross misconduct, or a match penalty. Once the shootout begins, the goalkeeper cannot be replaced unless he is injured.Each team will be given three shots unless the outcome is determined earlier in the shootout. After each team has taken three shots, if the score remains tied, the game will remain a tie during the regular season games. Regardless of the number of goals scored during the shootout, the final score recorded for the game will give the winning team one more goal than its opponent, based on the score at the end of the game. The player scoring the game winning goal in the shootout will not be credited with a goal scored in his personal statistics. The game will be recorded as a 2-point win for the winning team and 0-point loss for the losing team. Overtime and shootout format will remain the same for playoff and championship games.
