Agenda Items / Notes

  1. The Rink & The Township – Harry Meeks Sr and Peter Anapol met with the Hamilton Township Parks & Recreation Department, Department of Roads and Sport Surface Installer to go over rink specifications and possible timeline in regards to a new MS3 Sport Court surface for the Veteran’s Park Hockey Rink (https://www.ms3surface.com/).  At the time of our league meeting, there is no firm ETA on when to expect this work to be accomplished, but we are working closely with the township and hope to have this question answered in the next week or so. (Note: As of the posting of these minutes (9/2/22) there has been movement at the rink – the yellow wooden dashers have been removed and the boards have been raised to accommodate the sports surface.  There is an ordering delay with the above-named MS3 sport surface and the township is working on whatever the resolution is.  They plan on starting the repairs in the next week or two.)
  2. We briefly discussed the league’s Go Fund Me.  After the township completes the work on the rink (or, at least the work they are doing this calendar year) we can have a better idea of what to use the Go Fund Me for.  Harry Meeks Jr brought up an excellent idea in regards to creating a detailed roadmap of executables for the league (new benches, scoreboard, etc…) and outlining that a more specific timetable of items with listed cost would make people more likely to donate as they would have a better idea of where the funds would be going.  The dates outlined can be longer-term projects, but the specifics will matter. 
  3. Fundraisers – Harry Meeks Jr (and others) like the idea of fundraisers in conjunction with the Go Fund Me – we will be investigating different types of fundraisers for the league (Awards banquet, 50/50, Football pool, etc.)
  4. League fees for this coming 2022-2023 season will be staying at $750.00 – it was discussed that based on the work the township does and what their expectations are for our league moving forward, the league fees “might” increase at a future date, but that is not set in stone at this time. 
  5. Waiver Forms / AAU – Players are still responsible for signing up for and providing their “current” AAU membership number on their MCSHA Waiver Forms.  We are asking all players to enter their AAU membership number (not their order #) onto their waiver form as they are submitted.  With the start of the season in flux based on the schedule of the township, we will only be providing a two-week grace period for players to provide their AAU Membership Number.  This means that if a player does not submit his/her AAU membership number, they will be ineligible to play (or get credit for) games starting with their team’s week 3 game.  Waiver forms, however, are due BEFORE a player is eligible to play in his/her first game, and will only be acceptable when submitted online at our league website.  (Note: The AAU registration period is currently active.  When purchasing or renewing an AAU membership, please associate the membership with Club Code W34YY3, Mercer County Street Hockey Association.  If your player’s AAU membership is already associated with another league or club code, please just have them provide the current number on their waiver form as you cannot have an AAU membership associated with multiple club codes).
  6. Pending work to be done on the rink and “alternate” site investigations, the season is scheduled to start on either Sunday September 18, 2022 or Sunday September 25, 2022.
    • Peter Anapol reached out to the Falls Township Department of Recreation to inquire about the usage of their new hockey rink.  At this time, they are not authorizing any leagues to play on their rink, nor are they providing any permits to operate for leagues.  This may change, but Falls Township reserves first right of refusal for organizations.  Pick up and open hockey is allowed.  The rink is located here. The rink is located here.
    • Harry Meeks Jr will be reaching out to and checking on the hockey rink in Jackson NJ (Justice Park, Jackson NJ)
    • Peter Anapol is reaching out to Burlington Township regarding their rink on Pinewald Lane - Burlington Township hockey rink
  7. Scheduling conflicts – captains *MUST* submit any schedule requests prior to the release of the schedule to be granted any late games, early games, bye weeks (depending on the number of teams that register), etc.
  8. Officials – all four of our officials are returning for the coming season (Rich, Bart, Chris and Joe)
  9. Teams Participating in the 2022-2023 season:
    • Bee Squad (Captain: Justin Laureti)
    • Classico Tomato Pies (Captain: Christopher Hunt)
    • Dasan Building Group Stormtroopers (Captain: Harry Meeks Jr)
    • Haldeman Subaru Sharks (Captain: Joseph Tkaczuk)
    • Hamilton Tap & Grill Mustangs (Captain: Kyle Rogers)
    • John Casablancas / Nottingham Tavern Stonecutters (Captain: Rich Wood / Vince DeCaro)
    • Killarney's Publick House (Captain: Andy Maybaum)
    • Mario & Frank's Warriors (Captain: Sean Cuoghi)
    • Tavern on the Lake (Captain: Dave Laureti)
    • Playhouse VIPs (Captain: Chase Spadaccino)
  10. Teams *NOT* returning for the 2022-2023 Season:
    • Alden Assassins
    • Beer Hockey Club
    • Blend Bar & Bistro
  11. Ball Hockey Tournaments and how they affect the MCSHA
    • We will no longer be postponing or rescheduling games because teams want to participate in last-minute Ball Hockey Tournaments.  As all of the “Major” tournaments are scheduled well enough in advance, please put this into your team’s pre-season request for a Bye Week or Late Game abd we wukk see wgat we can work ouyt.  It is too much of a hassle to have to have holes in the schedule, confirm with teams who can and cannot move games, and figure out last-minute scheduling conflicts.
  12. Teams *MUST* speak for themselves - If you know of a scheduling conflict, issue, concern that another team is having, it is *THAT* captain’s responsibility to bring it up with the league.  Please don’t start a conversation with Joe or I with “I know so-and-so will have to forfeit a game…”
  13. Our Shed - Teams that borrow gear or equipment from the shed, and *DO NOT* return it back to where you found it will be fined $25.  This fine will be required to be paid along with your next game’s Referee fees BEFORE your next game.  (As this is a new rule, teams will be offered ONE warning should this happen.  Subsequent violations of this will be met with the fine)
  14. Uniforms / Jersey #s - Players are *REQUIRED* to wear their OWN jersey, or a shirt of the same color as their own team – WITH THEIR NUMBER on it for each game.  If the number has to be taped on the back, then so be it.  Players cannot wear another player’s jersey.
  15. Playoff Eligibility and Captain’s Responsibilities
    • In order to be playoff eligible, a player must be present for 1/3 of his/her team’s “played” games.  This ensures that should we miss a game or two due to unforeseen circumstances, players are not robbed of an opportunity to become eligible.
    • Injured players need to show up at game time and check in with Harry Sr in order to get credit for that day’s attendance.
    • Captains *MUST* verify with Harry Sr before or after their game to make sure that their players (injured or otherwise) receive credit for that day if they are at the rink. If you have a player that you NEED to be playoff eligible, make sure that he/she is at the rink for your games.
    • Harry Sr (or whoever is keeping score that day) will ensure that the game’s score sheet is sent via text message to Mark Odenheimer, Joe Tkaczuk, Peter Anapol and the captains of that day’s games.  This way captains can ensure that all players in attendance receive credit for that day’s game.
  16. Veteran’s Park
    • Veteran’s Park is a public park.  Please watch your language on and around the rink.  There are families and non-hockey-related people nearby.  Please be considerate.  League officials will be meeting to establish consistency in policing this.
    • Please keep the park clean.  Clean up after your game.  Throw away water bottles.  Clear equipment, shirts, sticks, garbage from the benches before/after each game.  Captains will be held responsible for the cleanliness of the bench after his/her game.
  17. Our helmet rule - If a player loses his/her helmet during the course of a play – and are *STILL* involved in that play (directly, has the ball, etc.) they can continue with the play.  Once they no longer have the ball, or are no longer involved directly in the play they must replace their helmet.
  18. Ball stuck in the fence - If an undeflected shot gets stuck in the fence, the faceoff should be at the nearest faceoff circle.  If the team has already gained the offensive zone, they keep possession of the zone.  A team shall not gain the offensive zone with the shot alone.
  19. Saturday games or double-headers?  With enough advance notice, and with as many tournament ball hockey players we have in our league, Saturday games (or double-headers should be able to be planned to alleviate severe weather delays so we don’t wind up playing until June/July again…. Let’s at least have the conversation!!).
  20. Drop-Dead Date for the playoffs.  Once we have an official “start date” for the season and can see how far out the regular season schedule *should* take us, we can look at when the playoffs will start should we run into weeks of weather delays or other issues that prevent us from playing.  This is not set in stone as of yet but will be discussed once the schedule has been published.

League Meeting - Tuesday August 22, 2017 - 7:00pm - Blend Bar & Bistro

 

Attendance:

  • Peter Anapol (Commissioner, Snakeheads)
  • Eric Charbonneau (Tavern On The Lake)
  • Brian McKinney (Beer Hockey Club)
  • Joe Tkaczuk (Cray Electric)
  • Harry Meeks, Jr (Marty’s Place / Anthony’s Pizza)
  • Rich Wood (John Casablancas Stonecutters)
  • Brian Liss (District 5)
  • Jeremy Stout (Blend Bar & Bistro)

Playoff Eligibility:

Ø To be eligible for the playoffs, a player need to make 1/4 of their team's played games.  If a player is injured, they can still get credit for the game by showing up and checking in with Harry Sr (Or whoever is running the clock for the game) during their team's game (during warm ups or during the game itself).  If a player is late to the game (shows up during the game) please make sure that player checks in with Harry Sr (Or whoever is running the clock for the game) or they run the risk of not getting credit for the game.

 

Rule Change:

Ø  When the ball gets stuck in the fence on a shot, the face-off will now come outside of the blue line to the nearest face-off dot.  Offensive zone control depends on whether or not the offensive team has control of the zone at the time of the shot.  This is even the case if the shot is taken from four feet in front of the net.

 

Rule clarification:

Ø  On a face-off, the ball *MUST* hit the rink before it is played.  If a player touches the ball before it hits the ground, the face-off will be redone and it is the referee’s discretion to remove/replace the player from the face-off.

 

Scheduling Update:

Ø  It was requested and voted on that there be NO DOUBLEHEADERS for the playoffs in the upcoming season (and moving forward).

 

The season starts on Sunday September 10, 2017.  The schedule that day is:

Ø  8:30am – Tavern On The Lake vs Killarney’s Publick House

Ø  9:30am – John Casablancas Stonecutters vs Cray Electric

Ø  10:30am – Marty’s Place / Anthony’s Pizza vs District 5

Ø  11:30am – Warriors vs Snakeheads

Ø  12:30pm – Blend Bar & Bistro vs Bill’s Tavern Mustangs

Ø  Bye: Beer Hockey Club

 

Note(s):

Ø  We will be putting together an All Star committee to discuss an All Star game to be played at the end of the season.

Ø  We will be putting together a Hall of Fame committee as well.

Ø  Is there anyone interested in doing game write-ups, 3 Stars of the game, etc…

Items Discussed
  1. ** Captains are being asked to submit their rosters to me as soon as they can so we can get an idea of players returning and/or not returning.  There are teams that are in need of players, and there are players in need of teams.
  2. Divisions - We discussed the differences between a traditional "A/B" division setup and an "East/West" division setup.  As of the writing of this email, there are currently 7 "A" division teams and 5 "B" division teams.  This makes running an "A/B" division setup where every team plays every other team extremely tough to schedule and manage.  The only way an "A/B" setup will work is if "A" teams *ONLY* play "A" teams and "B" teams *ONLY* play "B" teams.  Since a majority of captains in attendance said they want to play every other team at least once, the easiest way to run our season will be to create an "East/West" division structure based on the standings from last season.  Teams in each division will play each other twice, and will play two or three teams in the rival division.  This will create a competitive 12 or 13 game season with no need for double-headers or byes thrown into the mix.  This will also leave weeks open for us to have the first annual MCSHA All Star Skills Competition and Game somewhere around the mid-way point in the season.  I will ask a few of you to put your heads together and we can come up with some skills competitions and a way of creating an East vs West All Star game that we can repeat in years to come (a maximum of 2 or 3 selections from every team would make for an interesting game).  (Note: With the additional team this season, and with cutting *OUT* the bye week, we will be running 6 games every Sunday instead of 5.  Game times will either be 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1 or 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30 - thoughts?)
  3. Playoff Eligibility - We discussed that we need to continue to have some rules surrounding Playoff eligibility, and that a set number of games should be attended in order to qualify for the post season.  Basing this decision on a 12 or 13 game season, I feel that each player should attend at least 1/3 of their team's games in order to be eligible for the playoffs.  In a 12 game season, you need to show up for at least 4 of your team's games.  With rain outs, snow cancellations, etc... if the season gets cut short, that same 1/3 of the games played needs to be followed.  If a player gets hurt and is unable to play, he still should make the effort to come to the rink, see me (or Harry Sr) to check in for his game - They need to make sure that they check in to get credit for the game.  If you have any questions, or if a player is too injured to visit the rink, please reach out to me and let me know.
  4. Rules Changes - High Stick (ball played with a high stick) - this will not be changed from how it is currently called.  High Stick (getting struck with a high stick) - This is completely referee's discretion, but Chris mentioned that if a player gets hit with a high stick during a follow-through (pass, shot, etc...) it is generally not a penalty - unless it is deemed to have been avoidable.  Make Up Saturday (setting aside one Saturday each month to make up cancelled games) - while a good idea, too many teams will miss a lot of players to institute this rule at this time (all of our games will still be played on Sunday mornings).  If we are cutting down the number of games being played to a more reasonable number, this should not be as much of a necessity.  Running clock - the clock will continue to stop during the final minute of the 1st and 2nd periods and the final 3 minutes of the 3rd period if the goal differential is 3 or less.  Icing (Hybrid Icing) - we discussed that we should change the icing rule during the final 3 minutes of a game where necessary to a hybrid icing rule giving the offensive team (team who shot the ball down the rink) the opportunity to play the ball.  This will be addressed on Sunday with whoever refs the summer game(s) and we will see if it is something that we want to continue to use in our regular season.
  5. Clean up - After each of your games, please see to it that your teams (at the very least) dump out and throw away the used water bottles so we're not leaving everything on the bench.
  6. Baseball Game - August 24, 2017 is Hockey Night at the ballpark.  I will have our tickets at the rink every Sunday until then for whoever wants to purchase tickets to this event.  If your team pays your league fee by our next meeting (August 22, 2017) the league will give you a case of hockey balls to use for warm-ups and 4 tickets to the baseball game for your sponsor (or to use how your team sees fit).
  7. Rulebook - I am in the process of putting together a few links to Dek Hockey rulebooks so our league can officially adopt one and have one on hand at the rink in case a question comes up for any rule that we do not have something specifically written for (example: ball stuck in the fence).
  8. Landscaping Partnership - Are there any landscapers in our league that we can partner with to get better snow / ice removal services for the rink?
If I left anything out, please let me know.  I will be reaching out to each captain individually in the next couple of weeks to talk about this, the upcoming season, and anything on your minds.
 
As always, if you have any questions please reach out and let Pete know - or come see him at the rink on Sunday morning.

Teams Not Represented:

  • Marty’s Place
  • Freedom Mortgage Warriors

Item # 1

  • We received a “Thank You” letter from the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen regarding our Thanksgiving donation of $500.  This is the second year in a row that we have been able to do this and it can only get better next year.

 

Item # 2

  • We received our official notification of our 501(c)(3) status from the IRS.  If any teams need an “official” receipt for their sponsor for tax purposes, please let me know and I can get one to you ASAP.

 

Item # 3

  • Hamilton Township Recreation Department change
    • Marty Flynn, who up until last week was the Hamilton Township Recreation Director has moved on to another position within Hamilton Township.  I have reached out to Nicole Zoeller (Recreation Department Admin) and will try to schedule a meeting with the new director and Marty Flynn so we can go over what we have already discussed (resurfacing of the rink, general improvements, what we are allowed to do to the rink – i.e. redo boards, move doors, etc…) and see what our schedule is for some of this to get done.

Item # 4

  • Playoff Scenarios
    • A Division
      • Round 1 of the playoffs will be a One Game “Play-In” game between the #4 and #5 seed.  The winner will move on and face the #1 seed the following weekend starting a Best of 3 game series.
    • B Division
      • As there are 6 teams, and each team is guaranteed at least ONE playoff game, the following scenarios were discussed and voted on:
        • Scenario #1: Drop the 6 seed and have continue the same way the A division is outlined above
        • Scenario #2: 5 Seed and 6 Seed play a Best of 3 game series, and 1 through 4 move right into the Playoffs
        • Scenario #3: Everybody is guaranteed at least one playoff game – 3 Seed v 6 Seed, 4 Seed v 5 Seed during the 1st week of playoffs, determining who moves on the following week.
          • Scenario 3 was voted in and Play-in weekend will feature the A division Play-In game (4 vs 5) and the B division Play-In games (3 v 6 and 4 v 5).  This way, no teams are forced to have to play a double-header.  A division 1 and 2 seed as well as B division 1, 2 and 3 seed have a 1st round “bye”
** A complete Playoff Schedule will be posted on the website and available closer to the end of the season **

Item # 5

  • Finances
    • We are currently in a good situation financially.  I will be purchasing additional “yellow” (cold weather) hockey balls and will be distributing them to the teams as they arrive.  Teams should not have to come to the official’s box before each game to ask for balls to practice with.  More often than I’d like, we lend a team 4 balls and get 2 back.

Item # 6

  • Referees
    • I will be having a discussion with Kevin to find out what the schedule is for the referees for the remaining three games on the regular season schedule as well as the playoffs.  We will be making a request that since the remaining games are all divisional, that we have the best refs available each week so there are no issues.  Please remember that regardless of who refs our games, not all calls will be seen/made even with the world’s best referees.
Takeaway - We will begin to look into replacing the shipping container that we currently pay $1,000/year for.  We may be able to get a larger container and save money in the long run.
Takeaway - During the off season we will look to replace each latch with Hockey-style latches to make the doors more secure.  Additionally, depending on our conversation with the township we will look to replace the current door configuration.
