Coaches and their staff are valuable members of any team and we believe in the role they play in the overall experience of 3 on 3 hockey.  In our 3 on 3 league, coaches are not required to have a coaching certification.  We realize that many of you are parents of players and have volunteered for this position.  Below are loose guidelines of your responsibilities. You can change these as you like to best suit your coaching staff.

• Ensure that attendance is reflected accurately on the game sheet and that the jersey numbers are accurate

The girls dressing room will be off-limits to all males while players are changing before or after a game.
• Submit any comments/concerns in writing to the league
• A maximum of 3 coaches, assistant coaches or managers may be on the bench

Assistant Coaches

What Is Re-Tiering And How Does It Work?

Before the season starts, an initial tiering is done based on the number of teams registered and the skill level identified by the coach and/or players during the registration process.  It is our goal to make 3 on 3 hockey competitive, entertaining and meaningful for players, coaches and parents.  Bear in mind that we do not have try-outs in this league and that the coaches/players self-identify their skill levels.

An initial schedule is drafted to give each team approximately 5 games.  After these games are played, we look at each teams’ performance to determine whether or not the competition in their division is too strong or too weak for their level of play.  Also taken into consideration are requests we receive from coaches to move their teams.  It is a huge process to undertake, which is why we are one of the few leagues in Canada to do this. It involves a completely new schedule and while it may not sound like much on the surface, we have hundreds of ice slots spread out over various City of Edmonton arenas. and must take into consideration appropriate times for age groups. Referee assignments is another situation that has to be rescheduled as well.

Some things to keep in mind when registering a team so that we can offer this benefit for teams:

• The use of underage players should be avoided if possible. We take this into consideration when re-tiering. For example: if your team moves up a division, that underage player may be playing against players 3 years his senior. This would occur when a team moves up a division and another team from an older division moves down into that same division with the underage player. 

 The fact that the schedule has to be reworked is also a huge factor. If we create too many divisions with odd numbers of teams this requires more ice. Usually, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Our ice allocation continues to improve every year, in regards to times and locations however, for example, we may have one week with 73 ice slots and another with 28, so scheduling is a challenge to say the least.

• The process for selecting teams to re-tier is based on: stats; directors personally watching teams and input from all coaches. This is not an exact science and it is our hope that we can accommodate everyone in this process. Accuracy of information when registering is a key part of this process as well, in regards to level of hockey played as well as all other information on the registration form.

 Coaches are contacted prior to any movement of their team. Once all factors are considered, the team placements are confirmed and the remainder of the schedule is done up and posted.  Can there still be a blowout?  Sure there can. Can a key player get injured or sick and change how a team performs?  Of course.  There are many factors that can affect a teams’ performance and while we attempt to take into consideration many of these, we cannot account for all of them.

We may also re-tier for playoffs. This is to even out the competition level of each division and make the league even more enjoyable for everyone

What Are Dedicated Spares?

Dedicated spares are players who may be registered to play full time with one team and will spare for another OR players who have registered to only spare for a particular team.  Dedicated spares who only spare for a particular team and are not registered full time with another team pay a $25.00 registration fee. This is to cover insurance and uniform costs. In the event that they do not play a single game, this fee will be refunded. We ask that spares  pay the coach $20.00 when called to play.  We do not regulate or collect this.  It is incumbent on the coach of each team to determine if they are going to collect this money and if so, how it will be spent.

 All dedicated spares should play in the division which is of equal caliber or better than their skill level.  Our divisions are split based upon skill level so we may have U15 Minor, U15 Major and U15 Elite.  All players are in the same age group however their skill levels can be quite different. 

 A player can spare for a team in a higher division but at no time may a player spare for a lower division.  For example:

• A U15 minor player may spare for a U15 major or elite team but a U15 elite player may not spare for a U15 minor or major team.
