Consensus on refereeing is the group desires more penalty calls throughout, even if some of the calls may be wrong, rather than too few calls
Jake Gerth may have interest in starting a team in B Minor

 

D/E/F meeting started at 7:23
Opinion on limiting number of higher-rostered players in E - mixed; some feel it’s an improvement, some feel the league has worsened
Multiple complaints about goalies being struck in the crease; penalty calls are not being made
Referees need to blow the whistle forcefully/audibly
Referees need to blow the whistle when a player is down and unable to get up
Intent doesn’t matter to penalty calls
Suggestion for adult Try Hockey For Free; concerns are gear availability and ice time cost; Waterloo has used it successfully with prior sign-up


D - Outlaws; Pirates; Foxes; D5; Unicorns
Agreement that B-Minus players are not permitted; limit of 3 C players per team; if all teams are filled to 3 C players, additional players can be evenly distributed
Outlaws will move up at end of session
Discussion about Meyer; assumed to be addressed by Outlaws moving up
Trial of 3-goal cap per player effective immediately; subsequent goals will not count and faceoff will be in the faceoff circle nearest the defending goalie
Icing is not being called consistently


E - Bulldogs; PPE; Stickmen; KGB; Rats; Diggers
Bulldogs are moving up to D at end of session
Arnolds need to move up
Rats had a couple of players with excessive temper at last game
Trial of 3-goal cap per player effective immediately; subsequent goals will not count and faceoff will be in the faceoff circle nearest the defending goalie
Referees need to check goalie status and ensure players are set before dropping puck
A penalty assessed at the end of a game does not result in a manpower advantage at the beginning of the next game.  League rule - assess as a 5-minute non-manpower penalty at the beginning of the next game (specific to unsportsmanlike)
Running clock - once initiated, if the trailing team pulls within 4, revert to stop clock

Adjourned at 8:25 pm
