In our "Managers" notebook, we each players IMR, Birth Certificate, USA
Hockey registration card, Medical release form and a individual picture
in one of the clear plastic paper protectors. This allows for very quick
confirmation of any information needed for players at tournaments.

VERY, VERY important! Always take it to the rink, even for practices.

In our league, the home team is responsible, regardless of winning or
losing.

When it comes to team money, it really helps to give periodic updates as
to the current financial status of the team. I coach and manage a travel
team which requires a good deal of financial accounting. I try to update
parents every 1-2 months on where we stand, what's projected, and where
we'll end up.
>If you schedule a scrimmage, referees need to be on hand and unless you

>scrimmage without a referee is if a coach is on the ice.
This is very important. It's very embarassing for your team and your
organization to have a team show up to play and have forgotton to
schedule officials. It's very easy to set up a scrimmage verbally
with another team, maybe while your playing at their rink, or you see
them at a meeting, etc. then forget until game time to call the refs.
>Know the rules. Read the USA hockey rules book.
>For tournaments, have team picture(s) on hand, for entry.
>I keep my team up to date on all practices and games and I really over
>emphasize changes to the original schedule and repeat often. Inevitably
>if you don't, someone will have missed the information. I use a
>calendar program for this purpose. Written is always better than just
>verbal.
Another key point. Besides making copies for everyone, keep a couple
of extra handy for at least a week. Someone will invariably lose
theirs.

Subject: Looking for "Zee"
Message-ID:
I'm trying to locate an old teammate of mine named Zvyonsek Vjesazicu
(she goes by "Zee") who used to play for the Washington Redcoats about 8
years ago. She had moved to the Toronto area and, the last I heard, was
giving power skating clinics from time to time at rinks in the Toronto
Area. She had also tried out for the Toronto Aeros when she first moved
back.
I will be at Brampton for the Brampton Canadettes tournament with the
Chesapeake Bay Lightning in April and would like to meet up with Zee.
If anyone has heard of Zee, please let her know that Mary Nash, formerly of
the Washington Redcoats, would like to hear from her me, then please E-mail
me privately at the address above or at email@hidden with contact
information. Thanks.
