President Review

Waivers Waivers from one association to another are approved by the association

Presidents but the District Director has final authority. Do not sign an open ended waiver – i.e. the receiving assn must be filled

in. If the waiver involves anyone outside of D6, the Director signature must also be present.

Waiver Committee: District 6 mediates waiver issues through a committee comprised of former registrars and Presidents. Decisions made by this committee become recommendations to the District Director.

Caution should be exercised when dealing with “A” level players. These players moving into your association cause disruption. Make sure there is a legitimate tie to your community & that your board reviews.

Rainbow teams: There is a special waiver form for this situation. These teams need to be approved by the District Director PRIOR to tryouts.

NO ONE outside of your association can tryout in your association without properly signed waivers.

The comprehensive program is focused on creating an environment that will deter abusers and assist those in the hockey community in recognizing, reducing and responding to allegations or suspected abuse.

Mites 2013-14 Minnesota Hockey had requested and was granted an exemption to the

USA Hockey rule requiring all Mite games to be played half/cross ice by the USA Hockey Player Development Committee

Beginning with the 2013-14 season, Mite/8U should be cross or half ice for the first half of the season, ending on December 31. During the second half of the season, teams will be allowed to play up to 10 full-ice games in addition to cross/half ice games, unless the request to play more full-ice games is approved by the District Director. Mini-Mite games should be played cross/half ice. If you have any questions, please contact your District Director.

D6 Rules – 15 Mite full ice games.
