In the event of severe weather conditions (not a predicted forecast, but actually occurring), a game may be postponed due to hazardous road/driving conditions, which could affect the safety of the players, coaches and parents:

• Postponement for severe weather conditions may not occur more than 16 hours before the scheduled game time.
• The team manager from each team must contact their Club Scheduler and the League Scheduler and/or Commissioner to report that the game is being cancelled.  So that you have handy, NYH’s Scheduler is Greg Schroeder. 
• The home rink typically is responsible for making the call in terms of cancellation, however if a storm is expected to impact a large swath of the area, I would strongly encourage that coaches and managers open communications with their respective counterparts to discuss cancellation procedure and timing. 
• Again, unless you hear otherwise, league rules state that a cancellation can not occur more than 16 hours before scheduled time.
• For our home rink.  We wanted to remind you that the Brigade Sports Complex does not follow the Anne Arundel County Schools or other state/local information.  The only time that the rink closes is if the USNA is closed.  The Hazardous Weather Hotline Number is (410) 293-0032.

One of the essential functions of coaches and team managers is to manage team communications with players and their families.

If you are a coach or team manager, SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Coaches and Team Managers to help you use our website and mobile app to efficiently and effectively communicate and manage your teams.
