Player Movement

 

The Additional Entry (AE) teams and the Affiliated Player (AP) process is an element of Tecumseh Minor Hockey’s commitment to continually develop players. The AP process is designed to recognize and provide those players with the appropriate skill and commitment an opportunity to compete at a higher level of play through an affiliated Tecumseh Minor Hockey team; and to assist the affiliated team in fulfilling a player vacancy that has been created due to player absence.

All rep team rosters will contain a minimum of 15 skaters and 1 goalie.  Along with the roster, an Additional Player list will be registered.  Each rep team AP list will contain a minimum of 5 Additional Players including 1 goalie.  Any deviation from either of these must be approved by the VP of Travel.

Each Rep team must complete the proper OMHA AP form for each AP player to be added to the team roster.  The form must be completed and signed by the coach, player and parent/guardian.  A list of alternate players (AP) will be included as part of the team roster.

Player movement between AE to AA teams on a full time basis

This can only be done with the approval of the VP of Travel.  If a player refuses to be moved, with the exception of the Head Coach's son/daughter, then that player will be removed from the TSMHA Travel program and re-assigned to Houseleague pending an open position in that division.

Player movement between House League to AE or AA teams on a full time basis

This can only be done with the approval of the VP of Travel.  If a player refuses to be moved, with the exception of the Head Coach's son/daughter, then that player will be removed from the TSMHA Travel program and re-assigned to Houseleague pending an open position in that division.

Player movement between AA, AE and House League teams as AP’s

When a coach requires an AP Player (for a game or practice), they must initially contact the AP player’s Head Coach or Manager to make the request.  If approval is received, the coach can then contact said player directly.  AP players will not be allowed to play for the requesting team without the appropriate approval.

Only in an Emergency situation (calls in sick etc. hours before game or practice) when a coach is requesting a goalie will Coaches be able to utilize an AP Goalie without the proper approval.  This is only acceptable if all attempts to contact the Coach/Manager have failed and it is a time sensitive situation.  In this case, the VP of Travel and Coach/Manager must be notified of the circumstances.
