Hello Ladies! Here are the sub rules that we will try out this year to see if it works.
- The effective date is October 26th … so yes that means if you are short on Sunday/ Monday you can try to find a sub.
Emergency Player Additions: From time to time it may be necessary to add a player or two to a team during a regular season game to avoid a forfeit. To avoid a forfeit a team may add up to two players to their roster for a specific game. It must be done at the rink during designated warm uptime and must be agreed to by the opposing Team Rep.
The team which is short may add either one or two players to give themselves 5 players on the ice and three players on the bench for a total of 8 skaters plus a goalie. If more players from the team show up later, the added players must stop play (a note must be added to the score sheet by the Team Rep to show that this happened).
The opposing Team Rep must sign the score next to the added players name to make the player eligible to play. If the Opposing Team Rep will not agree to allow the addition of players or a specific player, the game falls under the forfeit policy.
No players may be added for any reason during tournament play.
All added players must be rostered eligible FWHA players, not under suspension, and can come from any tier of play and can even voluntarily come from the opposing team.
All statistics for games played in such cases will count towards league play.
Scheduled Goal Tender absences are not covered by this rule, Goalie no-shows are covered.
