Hi Guys,

At our wind up party a couple of weeks ago, we were collecting $100 deposits to hold your spot for next years SImons Hockey.
To date we have had about 1/2 the players put their deposits down.  We are going to be collecting deposits for players untilMay 31st this year so we would like you to make your deposit before that time, in fact, as soon as possible.  If you haven’t paid by 31st May, there is no promise that we can hold your spot.  We will be putting the league together for next year in June of this year due to the absence of some of the ‘organizers’ during the summer.
You can pay your deposit in the following ways:
1.  Electronic Transfer – through your bank, please email $100 to teamharvey@shaw.ca    For your security question use “What is the commissioner’s first name”  and the answer “Arthur”.
2.  Forward a cheque for $100 payable to Simons Hockey to:

Reserving Your Spot for 2016 / 2017

Hi guys,

If you want to reserve your spot for 2016/ 2017, you can do so by bringing a $100 cheque or cash to the wind up party on Friday night. Dale will be available to accept your deposits and you can also give them to your captain at your Friday game.

Deposits will need to be paid by 31st May this year if you want to hold your spot for next year. We currently have a waiting list of some 20 players who want to get into the league so it would be wise for you to hold your spot by making the deposit.

Pizza & Beer

Hi guys,

After the final game on Friday, we will be gathering in the party room up near the bar.

There will be plenty of FREE BEER and PIZZA available upstairs after the final game.Pizza will be served about 9:00 pm and the beer will be flowing from about 8:00 pm onwards.

This year we will have a 50/50 draw for 1/2 years free hockey next year but you gotta be there and buy a ticket to win.

NOTE TO THE NEW GUYS: Hey guys, you have been a real breath of fresh air in the league this year and its been great to have you as part of the league, we hope you have enjoyed the league. Friday is your chance to come up to the wind up party upstairs and meet some of the guys on the other teams. The thing that makes Simons such a good league is the BS that takes place amongst the guys and this is your opportunity to meet more of them AND drink some free beer and eat some free pizza and maybe win a 1/2 years free hockey for next year.

We will have the trophy presentation to the winning team and players from 5 of the 6 teams will once again lament about “what might have been” !!

See you there boyz !

Tie Breaker Rules and Scenarios

Hi Boys,

First: if there’s a tie in the round robin, here are the steps for determining who proceeds to the final game:

As per the rule from the 2015/2016 ASHL rule books are the steps we will use this year to determine who goes forward in the event of a tie:

I have also added more steps just in case we need them but hopefully we won’t. Steps f –> k to take it back to the regular season before we do the very unfair “coin toss”. Hopefully we won’t need to use it but its there if we need to.
2.14 TIES IN ROUND ROBIN STANDINGS – 2 OR MORE TEAMS

In the event of a tie in the round robin standings the following steps (a -e) will be used to break the tie:

a ) Best record in head-to-head games in the playoffs amongst the tied Teams

b) Most Wins in the Playoffs

c ) Largest Goal Differential (Goals For minus Goals Against) in the playoffs

d) Least Goals Against in the playoffs

e ) Least Penalty Minutes (Average per Game in the Playoffs)

If we can’t solve it in steps a–> e, then we will look to the regular season to settle the tie:

f ) Best record in head to head games in the regular season

g) Most Wins in the Regular Season

h) Largest Goal Differential in the Regular Season

i) Least goals against in the regular season

j) Least Penalty Minutes in the regular season

k) Toss a coin

NOTE 1: If there are still Teams tied after a step (no single Team is advanced), only the tied Teams from that step move on to the next step of the procedure. This process continues until there is only 1 team remaining.

NOTE 2: Once one team has been advanced using this tie-breaking procedure, it then reverts back to the start of the tie-breaking procedure (a) to break the remaining tie and so forth each time one team is advanced and more ties still need to be broken.

NOTE 3: Goal differential shall not exceed +7 in any playoff game.

NOTE 4: If all tied Teams have not played head-to-head, 2.14 a) will be skipped and the process will begin with 2.14 b).

EXAMPLE: 3 team round robin game results Team A defeats Team B 4-2 Team B defeats Team C 3-2 Team C defeats Team A 5-2

a) All teams are tied at 1-1 so head to head is not used

b) Team “A” is -1, Team “B” is -1, Team “C” is +2

Therefore Team C would advance and become first place.If a second place team is required, then Team A and B are still tied so they would go back to the start of the tie-breaking procedure to break the tie, where Team A defeated Team B. Therefore Team A would be the second place team.
