Tournament organizers may require identification showing player date of birth (ie birth certificat, passport...). Please ensure your player brings some form of formal identification to the first game.

Players will be required to sign in before the first game. Please be at the Cavanagh SensPlex (that's the one on Carp Road, about 30 minutes from Kanata) by no later than 9:15 in order to sign in and be ready on time.

Players must bring both jerseys to every game.

It is very important that the team be fully dressed and ready to play 15 minutes before scheduled game time. There is a strong possibility that we may have to start a game early. If we are not ready, we will have to forfeit.

Reminder that there is a $7 entry fee for attendees (good for entire tournament). Children under 12 and adults over 65 years of age are exempt. Players are also exempt, and up to 5 team staff (Frank, Eric, Craig, Ken as coaching staff, and Nathalie as tournament organizer) get a free pass.

Click HERE to see the full tournament schedule.

Click HERE to read the tournament rules (I strongly suggest everyone read this document). Highlights include:

• explanation of length of periods, use of running time, etc.
• explanation of when/how overtime will work
• explanation of how round robin standings will be calculated
• explanation of consequences of game misconduct penalties and fighting penalties
• explanation of zero tolerance policy re behaviour of parents, coaching staff and players

Click HERE during the tournament to see stats and standings (I'll update with the direct link once the tournament starts).

Reminder that there is a $7 entrance fee (good for entire tournament) for those above 12 and under 65. Players plus 5 team staff are exempt.

And finally, a reminder to bring your noisemakers and MAKE SOME NOISE in support of the team! PS - I believe John's mom still has a couple of team scarves left, at a cost of $10 each.

Miscellaneous Updates

Just a few notes:

• our team get-together has been confirmed for Friday December 10, 4:00 p.m. at Stanley's located at the SensPlex (note that this follows our 2nd tournament game there at 2:30). Also note that no other restaurants would give us a group reservation that night, as it is a Sens Home Game night. They will have a buffet available (salad, pasta with two sauces, sausage, chicken, bread, Shepherd's pie with gravy, dessert, drinks) for $13.24 (or $6.25 under 6 years old, $10.94 under 12 years old) plus taxes and gratuity. Or, we can order from the menu. Kilda will send an email seeking confirmation of attendance (and number in your party).
• for those of you who have enquired about the colourful team scarves made out of fleece ... John's mother has a few more available, they are $10 each
• it would appear that our league game scheduled for Saturday December 11 at 8 p.m. cannot be rescheduled due to lack of ice time. Thankfully, this does not directly clash with our tournament schedule (though it does make for a lot of hockey in one weekend). Unless you hear otherwise (we'll email you if things change), that game is ON.
• it would also appear that the team we played an exhibition against on Sunday morning (West Carleton) has asked to join the KMHA Bantam C league. KMHA is currently determining whether they can make it work. Could mean more games added to our schedule. Stay tuned.
• and finally, some of you may have noticed a late addition of a new player on our team - #1 (DiLong) is from China and currently studying in Canada, this is his first year playing organized hockey. Congrats DiLong on scoring your first goal last night :o)
