(dates are approximate)

NEW IN 2024: One scrimmage time per team for the months of November and December will be dispersed at the beginning of the season to better help managers set scrimmages.

These are practice times before school (6am and 7:15 am) and practice times starting late (after 8:30pm).

All RED ice will be evenly distributed between Spartans & Warriors.

Giving up RED ice does not constitute less allocated hours and the only way it may be replaced is via trade.

DARK ice times are practice times on holidays (incl. the Super Bowl) or non-school days. These are times found that the rink would otherwise be dark. After all team hours have been allocated in December, DARK ice hours may be picked up by your team and are considered "bonus" hours.

• Warriors and Spartans will be allocated the same number of practice hours at each level. Warrior girls MAY NOT have as many hours as Mound boys.
• Allocated hours per team will be provided by December 15th for the entire season. At this time, if OYHA cannot provide enough ice to meet the original budgeted hours of ice for your team, team managers may locate ice on their own and ask for a reimbursement from OYHA. This needs to be approved prior to making the ice purchase.
• At no time if teams give up ice after it is published to them will they receive an adjustment to their balance. The ice must be traded or lost.

Follow the procedures in the PDF attached:

• If you can’t use the scheduled ice time because of a conflict, it is your responsibility to either trade with another team or donate the ice to another team.
• Ice times can only be traded with, or donated to, other OYHA teams.
• Managers may add events to their calendar, but this does not notify the rink. All changes must go through avario. As a manger you will receive a team specific password. The instructions are below. 
• Please note that the ice scheduler will not be responsible for trading or adding ice times. All ice must be utilized as is unless the process in the Manager Handbook is followed with respect to trading with, or donating to, other teams.
• This must be done at least 48 hours in advance of scheduled ice time.
• If the process is not followed and ice time goes unused, teams will be fined $300. Ice is at a premium. Please be considerate of ice needs and do not put the Board in a position to assess any fines for lack of ice usage. 
• Team Managers, Scrimmage Coordinators and Coaches should be familiar with the Avario process to trade or donate ice time.
• If a team’s scheduled ice time is not used because of problems with the arena, inclement weather or another unforeseen and unmanageable issue, please contact Avario. This must be done within 24 hours of the incident.  
• If an arena is closed because of weather conditions, we will try and send an email out ASAP. 

Ideally shared ice is with a team at the same level or one above or below - ie Bantam & 15s or Peewee & Squirt, not squirts & bantams or 12s & Jr Gold

Levels are: Squirt-10U, Peewee-12U, Bantam-15U, Jr Gold

Returning Solol Ice is only allowed with more than 7 days until the event. Returning ice is not a credit for additional ice.
