2019-20 CIDL Cover CIDL Bylaws, Policies and Codes of Conduct 2019-2020 Hockey Season CIDL PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT 2019-2020 Hockey Season PREFACE The purpose of the Players Code of Conduct is to ensure the safety of every Player in the League as well as support the founding values set forth when the CIDL was founded. In this League the main goal is to have fun. Though competitive at times, each Player within the League must always follow the Players Code of Conduct in order to protect themselves and others in the league. PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT 1. While playing in the CIDL, every Player will always have the safety of others and themselves in mind. This includes but is not limited to: skating within the Player’s ability, staying alert at all times, not playing overly aggressive, and making plays only related to hockey. 2. Players are to respect one another no matter what the circumstance or score. Malicious trash talking is not tolerated. Handshakes are mandatory at the end of each game. 3. Abusive and aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. This includes but is not limited to: actions directed towards teammates, opponents, and Officials, banging sticks against the glass, breaking sticks intentionally, throwing of any obJects, fighting, attempts to strike another Player, profanity maliciously directed towards another Player or anyone else, and lack of regard for anyone else on the ice. Any sort of verbal or physical aggressive or violent behavior will result in discipline. 4. Never argue with an Official’s decision. Officials will answer all reasonable questions and requests. If a penalty is called and the Player is not sure why, the Player may inquire to the Referee in-between periods unless the Referee has informed the Player on the way to the penalty box. This is to allow play to resume quickly following the penalty. 5. Following a Captain’s orders is mandatory. They have been placed in a position of authority within the League and must be respected by the Team. Any issues with a Captain’s instructions or general issues with the Team’s Captain are to be brought to the Steering Committee’s attention. 6. If the Player is not able to attend a practice or game, they must notify their Captain in advance. Failure to do so will be handled according to the CIDL Absentee Policy. The Team’s Captain has drafted their Players expecting them to show up for most games and it hurts the team when Players are consistently absent. 7. Only rostered Players of the Team and one USA Hockey certified Coach for the Team are allowed on the bench during CIDL games. 8. Players who receive excessive amounts of penalties or major penalties may be subJect to further disciplinary action as outlined below. 9. In order to provide a product of being the premier adult hockey league in central Iowa, it is up to you and your fellow Players to work together and create a culture centered around a safe, fun and family-friendly environment. 10. Attempts to circumvent the Steering Committee by going directly to the DMYHA Board of Directors may result in suspension or expulsion from the CIDL. PLAYERS DISCIPLINARY CODE Violations of the Players Code of Conduct can result in disciplinary steps by the Steering Committee. It is imperative that we create a welcoming environment that is as safe as possible while playing hockey. Discipline procedures for violation of the Players Code of Conduct are as follows: • 1st offense: 2 game suspension up to removal from the CIDL. • 2nd offense: 6 game suspension up to removal from the CIDL. • 3rd offense: removal from the CIDL. • Serious offenses and excessive penalties: meeting with the CIDL Disciplinary Committee, multiple game suspension, and possible expulsion from the League. Should a Player receive a game misconduct they shall be removed from the game and automatically suspended for the Team’s next game. Two (2) misconducts by the same player in one (1) game shall result in a game misconduct. Game misconducts are subJect to further review by the CIDL Disciplinary Committee if deemed necessary. Should a Player receive a match penalty, they are immediately removed from the game and are suspended for a period of no more than thirty (30) days during which time a meeting with the CIDL Disciplinary Committee shall be scheduled to determine an outcome. Misconducts, game Misconducts and match penalties described above are outlined within the USA Hockey Rulebook. Meetings with the CIDL Disciplinary Committee can result in additional sanctions ranging from further game suspension(s) up to and including expulsion from the League. Consequences for violating the rules will be compounding. Sanctions as outlined above are separate and in addition to violations of the USA Hockey Rules as determined by the game Officials. CIDL PLAYERS CODE OF CONDUCT AGREEMENT 2019-2020 Hockey Season INSTRUCTIONS All Players must complete this Agreement every year. After reading the CIDL Players Code of Conduct this form must be signed and completed in order to play in the CIDL. AGREEMENT I, the undersigned Player, have read and agree to abide by the CIDL Players Code of Conduct and the CIDL Absentee Policy. I understand that violations of the CIDL Players Code of Conduct may result in my removal from games and programs sanctioned by the CIDL and does not entitle me to a refund. I further understand that lack of awareness or a misunderstanding of an ethical standard on my part is not a defense to a charge of unethical conduct. Signature: Date: Printed Name: Address: City: State: Zip Code: CIDL ABSENTEE POLICY 2019-2020 Hockey Season The CIDL schedules either a game or practice for each team every week of the season. Although Players are encouraged to attend their scheduled games each week, there are certainly times when Players may be absent due to illness, injury or other obligations and circumstances. Players are expected to communicate with their Captain and let them know if an absence will occur. This helps the Captain plan ahead, taking the Player’s absence into account when planning lines, strategy, etc. If a Player is absent three weeks in a row WITHOUT contacting their Captain, the Player will be considered to have VOLUNTARILY WITHDRAWN FROM THE CIDL. Specific details as follows: • The three-week absence must be consecutive. Open weeks, holidays, etc. will not be included in the three-week total. • Every possible effort will be made by the Captain to contact the Player during their absence, advising of their upcoming WITHDRAWN status. • Captains will report the Player’s absence to the Steering Committee. • A Player withdrawal will open a roster spot on that Player’s Team. This spot will be filled as soon as possible in accordance with the Substitution and Wait List Policy of the CIDL. • CIDL registration fees and USA Hockey fees WILL NOT BE REFUNDED to any Player who withdraws from the league after the Combine begins. If a withdrawn Player later decides to return to the CIDL, the Player will be placed on the wait list, pending approval by the Steering Committee. If a roster spot is available on the player’s original team it is possible for the player to return to that team, pending approval by the Steering Committee. CIDL Substitution Policy 2019-2020 Hockey Season INTRODUCTION The Steering Committee wants substitutions to be as fair as possible in the league. Substitutions must be communicated to the CIDL Substitution Goalie group via Facebook Messenger or email. The Steering Committee asks that Captains request substitutions as soon as the need arises. No Skater substitutions allowed. If a Team cannot ice enough Players for a game, they will take a loss by default. GOALIE SUBSTITION MANDATORY GUIDELINES 1. All sub Goalies must be registered members of the CIDL. 2. True sub Goalies must be asked to sub before regular division Goalies can be asked to sub. If no true sub Goalies are available, only then can Captains ask regular division goalies to sub. 3. Sub Goalies may not sub for the same team during consecutive Sundays unless approved by the Commissioner. 4. Playoffs: All sub Goalie requests must be approved by the Commissioner. 5. Goalies cannot play in more than two games on any given Sunday. 6. True sub Goalies: Can sub 2 games. 7. Division Goalies: Can sub 1 game and play 1 game with their regular division Team 8. Intermediate Goalies can only sub in Intermediate games. Novice Goalies can only sub in Novice games. TEAMS UNABLE TO ICE A GOALIE Example: Novice Team’s Goaltender can’t make the game and no other Novice Goalie is available: Option #1: Play with an Intermediate Goaltender; game counts as a forfeit. Goes in the scoring as a 1-0 win for the other team. Option #2: Play WITHOUT a Goaltender. The team missing a Goalie plays with six Skaters the entire game. They would be at a disadvantage, but at least the game would be played out with real stats. CIDL Wait List Policy 2019-2020 Hockey Season INTRODUCTION The Steering Committee wants absolute fairness in the Wait List for the League. The Wait List is a “first come, first serve” basis. Wait Listed Players will be placed by the Steering Committee. WAITLIST MANDATORY GUIDELINES In order to be placed on the Wait List, written notice must be sent to the Steering Committee email address – [email protected] 1. USA Hockey Membership is not required to be on the Wait List. 2. Wait List Players must be ranked by a minimum of 2 Steering Committee Members during a local stick and puck.

  • Jim Schoenfeld September 4, 1952 –
    CAMBRIDGE SPORTS HALL OF FAME Jim Schoenfeld September 4, 1952 – Galt native Jim Schoenfeld was the first defenceman and the fifth player chosen overall in the 1972 NHL draft. After finishing his Junior A career with the Niagara Falls Flyers, Jim went to the Buffalo Sabres, where big things were expected from him. He didn’t disappoint. In his rookie season he was immediately paired with hockey great Tim Horton. He joined a Sabres team with such future legends as Gilbert Perreault, the late Rick Martin and Rene Robert, known as the French Connection Line. Over the next 13 years in the NHL, Schoenfeld earned a reputation as a strong positional player, a great shot blocker and an aggressive, tough defenceman. In 1974-75 the Sabres, a team of star players, had one of the strongest squads in the league, losing out in the Stanley Cup finals to the Philadelphia Flyers. Their captain was Schoenfeld. He had become Buffalo’s – and the NHL’s – youngest-ever captain in 1974 at the ripe old age of 22. S c h o e n f e l d ’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. He was a second team all- star in 1979-80, and today is an honoured member of both the Buffalo Sabres and the Greater Buffalo Sports Halls of Fame. Schoenfeld had a lead- ing role in one of the legendary moments in Sabres’ history. It was the night Schoenfeld and Wayne Cashman, longtime Boston star, squared off at Buffalo’s War M e m o r i a l Auditorium.

  • NHL Heroes and Servant-Leaders
    HENRIK AND DANIEL SEDIN NHL Heroes and Servant-Leaders -CAROLYN CRIPPEN AND DAVID NAGEL We all need and seek heroes in our world. A common source for heroes can be found in professional sports. This paper will introduce readers to two elite ice hockey players, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who play for the Vancouver Canucks Hockey Team in the National Hockey League (NHL). I believe they are servant-leaders and worthy examples for our youth and adults too. After observing these two athletes over a period of two years on the ice, on television and radio broadcasts, and during interviews, plus extensive cov­ erage in the print media, I noticed uniqueness to their sty le and play. I wanted to meet them personally and talk with them. They are often referred to as The Twins-which they are, born on September 26, 1980, in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. After persistent effort addressed to the senior administration of the VancouverCanucks organization, and with approval granted by the University of Victoria Human Ethics Review Board, I was finally permitted by the Vancouver Canucks to meet with Henrik and Daniel on November 14, 2011, for ninety minutes. The Canucks' vice president for communication, T. C. Carling, was also in attendance. My doctoral student, David Nagel, accom­ panied me to the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia. David was responsible for recording the interview, and for the subsequent transcription. Henrik (six minutes older than his identical twin) and Daniel joined the Vancouver Canucks in 1999 and have remained with them ever since. They began playing ice hockey at age eight.

    IN THE MATTER OF SALARY ARBITRATION BETWEEN: CODY FRANSON - AND – THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS BRIEF OF THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS TEAM #29 Introduction and Overview of Mr. Franson’s Career Pursuant to section 12.9 of the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement,1 through an analysis of Cody Franson’s contributions and his role within the Toronto Maple Leafs in relation to comparable players in the National Hockey League, this brief will outline that Mr. Franson is entitled to an award below the midpoint figure of $3.3 million. We submit that the appropriate award for Mr. Franson is $3.0 million. The 2013-2014 season was Mr. Franson's platform year. In this year, he was given increased ice time over his previous year, but this resulted in decreased production and he posted the worst plus minus rating amongst the team’s defencemen. In addition, the Toronto Maple Leafs missed the playoffs. To the extent that Mr. Franson continued to produce points in his platform year, he has grown increasingly reliant on his power play production. The 2012-2013 season was Mr. Franson's best in his NHL career. He recorded 29 points with 4 goals and 25 assists.2 During this season Cody Franson was fifth among Maple Leafs defensemen in time on ice.

  • Fighting in the National Hockey League from 19
    Antonio Sirianni Dartmouth College The Specialization of Informal Social Control: Fighting in the National Hockey League from 1947-2019 Abstract: Fighting in ice hockey has long been of interest to sociologists of sport and serves as a highly visible and well-documented example of informal social control and peer punishment. Drawing on over 70 years of play-by-play records from the National Hockey League, this paper examines how the ritual of fighting has changed over time in terms of context (when fights happen), distribution (who fights), and patterns of interaction (who fights whom). These changes highlight the subtle transformation of fighting from a duel-like retaliatory act, towards the status-seeking practice of specialized but less-skilled players commonly referred to as “enforcers”. This analysis not only broadens our understanding of ice hockey fighting and violence, but also informs our understanding of the theoretical relationships between specialization, status, and signaling processes, and provides a highly-detailed look at the evolution of a system of informal control and governance. *Earlier versions of this work have been presented at the 2015 Conference for the International Network of Analytical Sociologists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the 2016 Meeting of the American Sociological Association in Seattle, Washington. The author wishes to thank Benjamin Cornwell, Thomas Davidson, Daniel Della Posta, Josh Alan Kaiser, Sunmin Kim, Michael Macy, and Kimberly Rogers, as well as several anonymous reviewers, for helpful comments and suggestions. 1 Introduction: The sport of ice hockey, particularly at the professional ranks within North America, has long hosted a somewhat peculiar ritual: routine fist fights between members of opposing teams.

  • Floor Hockey Study Guide
    Floor Hockey Study Guide History Tom Harter, director of Civic Recreation in Battle Creek, Michigan, introduced the new game of floor hockey modified from the original game of ice hockey. Ice hockey began in Canada in the mid 1800’s. By 1900, it became the national sport of Canada. Since then, it has become more popular in many other countries, especially Russia, Sweden, and the United States. It is a fast paced game, and the only game allowing player substitutions during play. Now, over 1000 amateur players take part at the community, high school and college levels. Typically, hockey games are divided into 3-20 minute periods with 2 intermissions between them. The object is to score points by hitting the puck into the goal or net. Floor hockey is a modification of ice hockey with differences in rules and modifications and of course, no use of ice or skates. Balls can be used in replacement for pucks. Use of a ball makes stick handling easier and increases the pace of the game. Terms Assist ––– a pass from a teammate that leads to a goal. Blade ––– the curved end of the stick, front and back, used to hit the puck. Body or Shaft – the main part of the stick, used to hold and stickhandle. Butt or End – the end knob used for better grip, to keep the hand from sliding off the stick. Centering the puck ––– to pass to a spot (the point) in front of the opponents goal. Goalie Crease – the area where no player’s feet or stick, except for the goalie, is allowed during play.
