NobleKing Minor Hockey
Association 2010/2011 Rep Tryout Process
OMHA
Regulations for A Centres
1)
Per the OMHA regulations (2.3 d) a Centre must enter a major
representative team in any age group before it can enter a minor
representative team in the same age group.
2)
For “A”
Centres, once a major team is rostered, either a minor A team or on
an exception basis a Major
Alternate Entry (AE)** team can be rostered if approved by
the OMHA.
These regulations give NobleKing flexibility at Atom thru Midget
when it comes to our rep program.
If there are not enough kids to field a team at the minor
level, there is the opportunity to field a
Major AE**
team.
This
Major AE**
team could include minor and major aged players
but the AE**
team must be requested from and approved by the OMHA.
It is important to note that per the above regulations a
Major rep team needs to be rostered prior to a
Minor or AE**
team can
be rostered.
Implications
for Tryouts
All players should try out for the team at their age (minor or
major). Minor players
may try out for both teams.
The
Major A team will select their team first and players will sign
commitment forms.
Commitment letters will be due back to the association OMHA Rep by
May 31, 2010.
Minor players that try out for the major team may be selected to
play for the major A team. Minor players will not be forced to play
for the major A team if they do not wish to play for that team
UNLESS such choice makes forming a major team impossible (due to
numbers).
The minor team will be put together based on the players that come
to tryouts. If there is
not enough interest to form a team at the minor level, the
association will look at combining the remaining major players and
the minor players to form a Major AE**
team.
The coach that is selected for the minor team will be given
first right of refusal to coach the
Major AE**
team.
If he refuses, there
will be another coach selection process
for the Major AE**
team.
The Association through the OMHA Representative will complete the
necessary documents to apply for approval of an AE**
team before the
June 1 deadline.
In order to
ensure NobleKing can maximize the ability to form rep teams at both
the major and minor levels, any disputes regarding the age group a
player will be rostered to will be resolved by a committee that
includes:
-
The coaches of both teams
-
The association Head Coach
-
The OMHA Representative
-
The Vice President
In the case
of a conflict of interest with any of the executive members above,
another executive member assigned by the President will sit on the
committee.

The date for jersey returns is Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the Nobleton Arena with the times set out for each team in the schedule below. This year we are returning the WHITE jersey.
1. Jerseys should all be returned at the same time according to your assigned time below. A $50 charge will be added to the cost of registration next season if the jersey is not returned.

Peewee #2 Wins Clarington Tournament 21 Feb 2010

NobleKing Minor Hockey Annual General Meeting
All rostered players and staff will receive an envelope with the information you need to prepare for the upcoming Annual General Meeting, Thursday, 25 February, 7:00 p.m., Nobleton Arena Auditorium. While members of the general public are welcome to attend, they will have no standing to make presentations to the room, present motions or vote on items. All current NobleKing members are listed on the sign in sheet that will be at the door and you are required to sign in as you enter so that we can properly record attendance and votes as needed.
CLARIFICATION: At last year’s NobleKing
Annual General Meeting, we approved the incorporation of the
organization as a not-for-profit entity.
While that has been completed, we are still working on the
final version of a new constitution for the newly incorporated
organization. In advance
of receiving a draft of this new document, proxy requests were sent
to all members with the assumption that they were needed.
It turns out that proxies are not required as both the
current and new, draft constitution require members to be in
attendance at the meeting to cast votes. All members are
encouraged to attend the AGM next Thursday, 7 p.m. in Nobleton.
The Executive apologizes for any confusion this may have
caused.

Township of King - Council / Committee Meeting, Monday, 8 Feb, 6:00 p.m.
There is a meeting on Monday in King City at the Council Chambers where among other things the proposed fees for our minor hockey ice contract will be discussed. Please note that the proposed increase AND the upcoming HST will have a very significant cost impact on all members. It is also apparent that Schomberg Minor Hockey has a smaller proposed increase to their ice rates for next season and their hourly rate remains well below what is charged in King City and Nobleton. It is time that Council helps us understand why our ice costs are so high!

NobleKing Shinny Ice on BladeNet
From time to time we will post open, shinny ice on the schedule. The format for this is very simple - registered NobleKing players can participate in full equipment for some non-contact pond hockey! Adult supervision is required however it is expected that our players will run the on ice activity themselves in these shinny sessions.
Custom mouthguards are better than 'Boil and Bite' and not much more $
NobleKing Minor Hockey is happy to recommend Lise Fillion, DD, as a local business option for having a custom sport mouthguard made. Lise is located at the King City Denture Clinic, 12967 Keele Street, Unit 5, just south of King Road and a short walk from the King City Arena. Please see the attached for more information. Be sure to mention that you are a NobleKing player when you drop in or book your appointment at (416) 559-8500. Remember, all players are required to wear a mouthguard whenever they are on the ice in the OMHA.

NobleKing Fundraising Update
The Association is looking for an individual or small group who will quickly step in to fill a vacancy in the Fundraising portfolio. Fundraising activities help offset the costs of hockey for all players and are a very important revenue stream each season. With the Township already warning us to expect an increase in ice rental costs next year of GREATER THAN 10% we need all the help we can get from our fundraising efforts.
If you are interested, please email president@noblekinghockey.com

Local League and Jr. Knights about to begin the season!
If you are a fully registered player and you have not yet been contacted by a coach to come to the pre-season evaluation skates, please go to the Teams page and email each of the coaches in your player division to find out when to be on the ice. After this weekend, the Convenors and Coaches will do the player drafts to set up the teams. Going forward, you can look at BladeNet to find your home ice times by team.
Local League and Jr. Knights are starting soon - if you have not yet paid your fees, you will not be allowed to skate
All coaches will receive a list of players who are permitted to skate on NobleKing ice. If your daughter/son is not on this list it means you have not properly completed your child's registration for hockey this season. If your child is not properly registered, they are not insured and therefore WILL NOT be permitted to participate in any practices or games. If you believe you have been left off of this list in error, email registrar@noblekinghockey.com immediately to get this corrected. Coaches will be contacting players to inform them of which times posted on BladeNet your player should attend in the next two weeks.
SCHEDULING NOTE: No players are assigned to specific Local League teams yet so don't be confused by BladeNet postings that show Novice 1, Bantam 1, etc. All players will be invited to attend the proper sessions by email or phone call from the coaches.
