Substitutions

Please if you cannot make a game either call someone in your skill level bracket yourself to replace you. An open slot on the ice is a waste! Please be responsible and get a sub. No one likes to skate short and see ice time wasted. As you call people to sub, THEY will reciprocate and ask YOU to sub games they miss!
Substitutions should be coordinated through the Team Rep who will replace players based on skill levels. If you are unable to attend your scheduled game please notify your Team Rep of the player replacing you. Know your Team Rep's phone number and email.

Scorekeeping and Refereeing

TCSHL is looking for Referees and Scorekeepers. Referees will be paid $20.00 per game (2 referees) or $30 if you referee a game by yourself. If you are interested in being a Referee contact Randie May. One scorekeeper will be scheduled for every game and will be paid $5.00 per game.
