3.05.01 Representative Teams (A/AA & MD) will follow the ALLIANCE Hockey Tournament Policy
which states “teams are restricted to four weekends, plus a fifth which must be the Christmas Break,
whereby teams are not available to schedule games. In most cases this would be tournaments but for
definition purposes will include team functions other than tournaments such as team building weekends,
educational trips to NCAA schools etc., and will be known as weekend omissions. Pre-season
Tournaments will not count towards the Policy – Seeded 1st weekend after Labour Day, Minor
Development, last weekend in September. A/AA Seeded League Teams that split in November are
permitted two weekend team omissions prior to the split to determine “A” and “AA” league play. The
four weekend omissions must take place prior to playdowns and playoffs”. Any request for an exception
to this rule must be submitted to the appropriate Representative Team Director in writing and obtain
Executive Board approval. All eligible teams will participate in Sarnia Hockey Association tournaments.
3.05.02 Representative Team Managers will arrange with the Ice Director referees for exhibition games.
Referee costs for exhibition games are the individual team’s responsibility.
