WELCOME TEAM MANAGERS!

Thank you for volunteering for the team manager position for your son or daughter’s hockey team! For those of you who are new to the team manager role, welcome! No need to panic... we have lots of information to help you through the season. For those returning managers, thank you for returning to the role and welcome back! The team manager is a crucial role for the team in ensuring a fun and successful season! 

The team manager is an integral part of the team and serves as the liaison between the coaching staff, parents, WYHA Board/Committees and other affiliated partners such as D3 for Travel Team Managers.

Overall, the Team Manager is the key communicator and organizer for parents and coaches.

Mite Team Manager Checklist (ADD).

SUBSTITUTE GOALIE REQUESTS

Go to the D3 website and navigate to the Manager page. There, you will see several links - click the SUBSTITUTE GOALIE link. From there you can download the Sub Goalie Form. This form requires the signatures of the Wayzata Association President and the D3 Director. Best practice is to read through the policy included on the form, complete the top section of the form and then send via email to both WYHA President and the D3 Director for their signatures. In the event of extremely short notice such as illness, at minimum you should have the WYHA President's signature on the form before the game is played with the substitute goalie. If the WYHA President is unavailable, then an VP Travel or the VP Admin can also sign. 

SCRIMMAGE SCHEDULING PROCESS

If you are using a practice time to scrimmage another team, you will need to follow these steps.

Step 1 - Schedule Officials here under the Team Manager tab.  Enter game information and ensure all information is correct before submitting.  

Step 2 -  Reserve a locker room for the visiting team by emailing the rink staff at scrimmage@plymouthmn.gov and include:

  • The name of the team making the request
  • Date and Time
  • Rink (A, B, or C)
  • Opponent
  • Any special needs
  • IMPORTANT include your contact info (name, email and phone)

Step 3 - Update your team calendar. The ice scheduler will not remove or change the practice, so add a game to your team website with the scrimmage information.

Step 4 - Inform the Ice Scheduler that you have a scrimmage on a certain day, so your team is not booked for practice ice on that day. This must be done 30 days out in order to avoid getting/paying for ice. Please note, if you are less than 30 days out and have ice time schedule you are responsible for selling/trading that ice. 

LOCKER ROOM MONITORING POLICY

It is critical that Team Managers understand and enforce the Locker Room Monitor (LRM) policy. Please reference the SafeSport & Policies page for this information and ensure your team has a process in place for this policy.

OFFICIAL WYHA LOGOS

These logos are suitable for team level decorations and spirit items.

Social Media Shout Outs

WYHA would love to recognize team's accomplishments with shout outs on the Facebook page. The best way to do this is to send a DM to the Facebook page with the image(s) and exact text as you would like it to appear. You can also email your content to ProgramAdmin@wayzatahockey.org.
