Game Rosters and Scorekeeping

All record keeping for games (rosters and scorekeeping etc) is done through Spordle Play (this is differnt than your Spordle member account). Click HERE to be directed to Spordle Play 

-Before each game, a coach and/or manager needs to log in to Spordle Play as 'admin' to complete the roster. The game roster is essentially your attendance for the game and it is mandatory for insurance purposes

-Only those on the official Hockey Canada Roster can log in to do this, and they will each have their own unique login's for Spordle Play.

It is recommended that the coach fill out and sign their rosters 

-You need to make sure every player AND coach that will on the ice or on the bench is marked off on the game roster, making sure their jersey #'s are correct and that no one is on suspension

-If you have a player serving a suspension, they still need to be checked off on the roster but on the drop down menu marked as 'other' and then note which game of how many game suspension they are serving (for example, if a player has a 2 game suspension and this is the 1st gamet they are serving it, you'd mark game 1 of 2 game to purge)  

Any coach or player, including AP's/relief players, that are not marked off on your roster ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PLAY OR BE ON THE BENCH.

Playing an ineligible player or having an ineligible coach, could result in coaches and/or managers suspension.

-If you need to borrow a player (a lateral move for a player in the same division on a different team) fill out this Player Relief Request EK Games. 

-This process should only be utilized if your AP's are not available and you should allow a minimum of a week to process.
