ECRHA Second Semester Reminders

ECRHA Begins Second Semester 10 Reminders from the Administration; review of items past, present, and changes coming. In no specific order:

ECRHA, as a member of NCRHA, has permanently banned the use of postal tape effective immediately.

All teams must have at least one representative active on the ACC private message board. This forum is the central internal communications center for all league and administrational information. It should be checked as frequently as one would check their email. Periodically, there is an attendance sign-in thread.

All-Star nominations and information about the Annual ECRHA All-Star Games can be found on the ACC Message Board for team representatives. The ballot closes February 1st.

The semi-annual League Meeting will occur on Friday February 27th, 2004, the evening before the All-Star Event in Feasterville, PA. Exact time and location to be announced but anticipate a 7:30pm start near the rink. Attendance by all team reps is mandatory. More information on the meeting will appear later this month.

Second semester verification of team eligibility is past due. All teams must turn this certification in ASAP. Teams found with illegal players will forfeit all games in which the illegal player participated. This certification, like the one provided to the ECRHA at the beginning of the year, is an officially stamped, sealed, or signed letter from the school that includes all players? names and credit amount taken.

ECRHA is looking for alumni. An Alumni game will take place at the Annual All-Star event. Alumni must sign up for the message board and sign into the thread in the ECRHA forum titled ?Alumni?.

Effective for the upcoming season (2004-2005) ECRHA, as a member of NCRHA, is increasing the credit requirements for membership as follows: o Divisions I and II ? 9 credits (up from 6 credits) o Division III ? 6 credits (up from 3 credits

Effective for the upcoming season (2004-2005) ECRHA, as a member of NCRHA, has instituted MATCHING uniforms. Although ECRHA has had a matching jersey rule, the rule will be updated to include pants. This will be for all Divisions including the ?B? Division. Additionally, any change in jersey or mascot must be approved by the League Authorities.

Effective for the upcoming season (2004-2005) ECRHA, as a member of NCRHA, has instituted full facial protection. Half-shields will not be acceptable. It is also strongly advised that anyone who invests in an entirely new helmet discuss with their team matching helmets since ECRHA will mandate matching helmet color in one more season (2005-2006)

As a reminder, helmet stickers (unless the HECC certification sticker or a league approved sticker) are not permitted. Please remove them promptly.
