     >There's a lot to being the team manager.  The first thing you should do is
     >have a folder to keep score sheets, USA forms of players and team, medical
     >forms, league schedule, important phone numbers and addresses (your 
     >commissioner, president, referee contact, score sheet contact, etc..), a 
     >roster of the players (with jersey numbers, phone numbers, addresses, 
     >birthdays), ice contracts (with paid receipts), waiver forms and 
     >anything else you may need on a moments notice and carry it with you at 
     >all times.
     
     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.
     
     >I keep that very information by my hockey things and take it with when I 
     >am involved in team activities. If I won't be at a team activity I make 
     >sure someone else has the proper paperwork.
     
     VERY, VERY important! Always take it to the rink, even for practices.
     
     >Not only should the winning team send in the score sheet but who should 
     >send in the score sheet in case of a tie.  In our league (Minnesota) the 
     >home team sends it in when there is a tie.  However, we have 7 days.
     >Always keep a copy of the score sheet no matter what the out come.  For 
     >the state tournament our players need 10 games to be eligible and for 
     >Nationals USA hockey sets those guidelines, and that number escapes me 
     >right now.
     
     In our league, the home team is responsible, regardless of winning or 
     losing.
     
     >If you can, for all practices and games, put someone in charge of pucks, 
     >and another in charge of water bottles, and someone in charge of the team 
     >money if applicable.
     
     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 
     >have a referee friend be prepared to pay them.  The only way you can 
     >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.
